Tools Needed

Safety glasses
Tape
Tape measure
Level
Screws
Drill bits
Screwdriver bit

Before You Start

Confirm access to the back side of the wall for power connections

Use tape that will not damage the wall surface

Use the printed level lines, not the paper edge or letter bottoms

Safety Reminder

Wear safety glasses when drilling holes, and consult a qualified installer or electrician when your wall, wiring, or local code requirements are uncertain.

Step 1

Place and Level the Pattern

Unroll the pattern and tape it to the wall where the letters will be installed. Check that the letters are level and centered in the area.

Pattern Tip

There must be access to the back of the wall to connect each EZLit Power Link to the EZLit Power Strip. For brick, duct tape can be used, but remove it as soon as the drilling and layout work is complete.

Do not level with the bottoms of the letters or the edge of the paper. Use the provided level lines only.

Step 2

Drill Mounting and Power Holes

Mounting holes are marked on the outside of the letters and logos. Drill pilot holes through the center of each mark for the appropriate fastener.

Fastener Guidance

For wood surfaces, galvanized wood screws are commonly used and can be painted to match the wall. For concrete, brick, or cinderblock, Tapcon-style screws are often used. Your hardware store or installer may recommend another fastener for your wall.

Power holes are marked in the middle of the letters and logos. Drill a 3/4 inch hole completely through the wall to the inside of the building.

Step 3

Install the Letters

Remove the pattern from the wall as soon as possible. Each letter has a sequence sticker on the back showing the order the letters or logos should be installed.

Install the letters and logos on the wall using screws appropriate for the wall. Each screw goes through the hole in the mounting tab and into the pilot hole from the pattern.

While placing each letter, push the EZLit Power Link through the wall so it can be reached from inside the building.

Step 4

Install the Power Strip

On the back side of the wall, plug each letter into the EZLit Power Strip and EZLit Power Supply. Each Power Link has a colored tag that should match the color tag on the Power Strip.

Apply the included dielectric grease to the metal parts of each plug connection, then plug the EZLit Power Strip into a 110-volt outlet.

Power Supply Safety

The power supply gets warm and should remain in open air. Do not put the power supply in a container or cover it with combustible materials. The power supply must be indoors because it is not weatherproof.

Leave a loop of wire hanging below the outlet to help prevent water from running down the cord and into the socket.

Need Mounting Fastener Help?

Fastener choice depends on wall material, sign size, backing, and weather exposure.
