Installation kit and method of using same for sign construction with sectional sign assemblies

A method of electronic sign construction, comprising the steps of:

• using an installation kit for providing and installing at least one sectional sign assembly on a structure which includes at least one frame having a unitary structure with a plurality of display module receiving bays:
• removably securing within individual ones of said plurality of display module receiving bays individual ones of a plurality of display modules;
• coupling the individual ones of the plurality of display modules to a power routing system having a single power and data distribution node associated with the at least one sectional sign assembly and a plurality of individual power extensions each extending from the single power and data distribution node to individual ones of a plurality of display module receiving bay nodes;
• securing the at least one sectional sign assembly to the structure to allow most of a rear surface of a rear-portion of the at least one sectional sign assembly to be exposed for servicing;
• and
• coupling the single Power and data distribution node to a source of power to form the construction of the electronic sign the construction of the electronic sign.

A method of electronic sign construction, comprising the steps of:

• using an installation it for providing a sectional sign assembly, wherein the sectional sign assembly includes:
• a plurality of display modules;
• a utility box to facilitate coupling low voltage power and data to the plurality of display modules;
• at least one power and data harness having a plurality of extension ends each coupled to a single node;
• and at least one structural frame with a unitary construction having a plurality of integrally formed front-side display module receiving bays, a plurality of integrally formed front-side wire routing guides, and at least one back-side mounting feature;
• installing said at least one power and data harness by routing individual ones of said plurality of extension ends to individual ones of the plurality of integrally formed front-side display module receiving bays using said plurality of integrally formed wire routing guides disposed on a front-side of the at least one structural frame, and passing said single node through a structural frame cutout area in the at least one structural frame to provide back-side structural frame access to said single node;
• coupling individual ones of said plurality of extension ends to individual ones of said plurality of display modules as each individual display module is being loaded within an individual one of the plurality of integrally formed front-side display module receiving bays and then securing the individual ones of said plurality of display modules into individual ones of the plurality of integrally formed front-side display module receiving bays;
• repeating the coupling step, until the plurality of display modules have been electrically and mechanically secured within the plurality of display module receiving bays;
• securing the at least one structural frame loaded with said plurality of display modules to a structure by using at least one mounting feature;
• securing said utility box to the at least one back-side mounting feature and then coupling said single node within said utility box to facilitate providing the plurality of display modules with low voltage power and data;
• and
• coupling the utility box to a source of power and data for completing the construction of an electronic sign.
