Remove Existing Lighting Equipment

Prior to installation, survey the site for information regarding power and accessibility inside and outside the building. Ensure that the
branch circuit supplying the existing LED power supply will be within the voltage ratings of the new LED power supply, and have a
current rating not exceeding 20A, or that permitted by applicable local, state, or country electrical codes (whichever is less).

If removal of the existing lighting equipment (see Step 2 in this section) eliminates the disconnect switch, as required by applicable local,
state, or country electrical codes; a new disconnect switch must be installed. If required, the disconnect switch shall be installed by

qualied personnel, in accordance with applicable local, state, and country electrical codes.

Make sure the removal of lighting equipment does not compromise the integrity of the sign body (i.e. water intrusion). Fill in all holes

0.5 in. (13 mm) or smaller with the appropriate amount of rated caulk or sealant. For holes greater than 0.5 in. (13 mm), use an
aluminum or zinc coated steel patch with rivets and sealant.
