PART 2 - PRODUCTS

2.01 MANUFACTURED UNITS

A. Acceptable product:

1. APCO; FullView Display System; 388 Grant Street SE, Atlanta, Georgia, 30312, USA. Phone; (404) 688-9000. Fax; (404) 577-3847.

2. Other manufacturer's products are acceptable if submitted in accord with Product Options and Substitutions section and are in strict compliance with these specified requirements.

B. Provide the following assembly options; locate where indicated in SCHEDULES Article for FullView Display Systems:

1. Standard Assembly

Combination of extruded aluminum components, composite aluminum sheet and injection molded components, creating modular signs with a special, concealed pin lock

device to secure a clear cover and/or sign insert material into the frame. Possible sign insert/display combinations include:

- Non-Glare Acrylic Lens with Subsurface Paper Insert / Digitial Output Display

- ADA (Tactile/Braille) Plaques

- ADA Bands (always at the bottom of the sign)

- Decorative Metal and/or Wood* Components (always at the bottom of the sign)

- Painted Plaques with Silkscreen Printed Graphics

* Wood is simulated with a decorative vinyl, clad to an acrylic plaque.

Assembly allows for flexibility of size and configuration, providing a

modular, vandal-resistant solution for signs ranging from single-insert identification signs to large directories and directional signs.

a. Surface Mounted Signs (Wall or Office Panel): Attachment to wall surfaces via

double-sided vinyl tape or concealed mechanical fasteners. Attachment to

office panels via concealed stainless steel pins or special aluminum or plastic

clips.

b. Wall Projection Signs: Combination of two signs attached back-to-back utilizing

a modular, extruded aluminum "T" bracket (APCO's CMT-M component).

c. Desk / Counter-Top Signs: Solutions for either vertical or angled signs, either

single or double-sided.

d. Ceiling Mounted Signs: Combination of two signs attached back-to-back

utilizing an extruded aluminum "T" bracket (APCO's CMT-M component). For

such configurations, the aluminum edge profiles, offered in four different shapes,

will be at the top and bottom of the assembly.

e. Free-Standing Signs: Single or Double-Sided signs, either vertical or

displayed at an angle, attached to a 42" extruded aluminum circular post with

an power-coated steel base plate. Displays may range up to 11"x17" (A3).

2. Inner-Access Assembly

Combination of extruded aluminum components, composite aluminum sheet,

non-glare acrylic, and injection molded components, creating modular signs to house subsurface paper inserts / digital output displays. Special decorative elements and/or ADA compliant bands may be applied at any position on the surface of the non-glare acrylic, from top to bottom. Subsurface displays are removed by inserting a "Post-It" note, or similar, behind the top portion of the non-glare acrylic, applying pressure and then pulling upward.

Assembly allows for complete flexibility of size and configuration, providing a

unique, subsurface, vandal-resistant solution for signs up to 11"x17" (A3).

a. Surface Mounted Signs (Wall or Office Panel): Attachment to wall surfaces via

double-sided vinyl tape only. Attachment to office panels via concealed stainless steel pins or special aluminum or plastic clips.

b. Desk / Counter-Top Signs: Solutions for either vertical or angled signs, either

single or double-sided.

c. Free-Standing Signs: Single or Double-Sided signs, either vertical or

displayed at an angle, attached to a 42" extruded aluminum circular post with

an power-coated steel base plate. Displays may range up to 11"x17" (A3).

3. Top-Access Assembly (for signs where display changes are frequent)

Combination of extruded aluminum components, composite aluminum sheet,

non-glare acrylic, and injection molded components, creating modular signs to house subsurface paper inserts / digital output displays. Special decorative elements and/or ADA compliant bands may be applied on the surface of the non-glare acrylic, anywhere except the top of the sign. The non-glare acrylic lens features a "thumb-slot" at the top/center, allowing access to remove the subsurface diplay from the top of the sign.

Assembly allows for flexibility of size and configuration, providing a

unique, subsurface, quick insert change solution for signs up to 11"x17" (A3).

a. Surface Mounted Signs (Wall or Office Panel): Attachment to wall surfaces via

double-sided vinyl tape only. Attachment to office panels via concealed stainless steel pins or special aluminum or plastic clips.

b. Desk / Counter-Top Signs: Solutions for either vertical or angled signs, either

single or double-sided.

c. Free-Standing Signs: Single or Double-Sided signs, either vertical or

displayed at an angle, attached to a 42" extruded aluminum circular post with

an power-coated steel base plate. Displays may range up to 11"x17" (A3).

C. Design units with selected components below.
