  1. Disconnecting change in section 600.6 of the NEC 2017 Biggest change is labeling. Also if you service a sign, you must verify and label for compliance (A) Location The disconnect shall open all ungrounded conductors where it enters the enclosure of the sign or pole. Exception No. 1: A disconnect shall not be required for branch circuit(s) or feeder conductor(s) passing through the sign where enclosed in a Chapter 3 listed raceway or metal-jacketed cable identified for the location. Exception No. 2: A disconnect shall not be required at the point of entry to a sign enclosure or sign body for branch circuit(s) or feeder conductor( s) that supply an internal panelboard(s) in a sign enclosure or sign body. The conductors shall be enclosed in a Chapter 3 listed raceway or metal-jacketed cable identified for the location. The warning label shall comply with 110.21(B) and state the following: “Danger. This raceway contains energized conductors.” The marking shall include the location of the disconnecting means for the energized conductor(s). The disconnecting means shall be capable of being locked in the open position in accordance with 110.25. (2) Within Sight of the Sign A permanent field-applied marking identifying the location of the disconnecting means shall be applied to the sign in a location visible during servicing. The warning label shall comply with 110.21(B) (B) Control Switch Rating They added: electronic power supplies to be rated at 200% of load .
  2. Betty was a great lady! I worked with her breifly in the 90's. We had a nice discussion about the "Welcome" sign. In the earl 80's, that sign had fallen into disrepair. Clark County had been getting numerous complaints about how it was a poor representation of the city. Of course, they had no budget for the repair. I received a call from the Clark County comptroller one day and worked out a deal to lease the repair to the County. The face was originally a C1 plex face and was replaced with a flat white face, re-painted, neon repaired, flasher replaced, etc. It was a nice little rebuild project that became one of the most recognizable signs in the world. I was priviledged to be involved in a small part of her life. They say these things come in three's. We lost two other great Las Vegas sign artists this year. Buzz Lemming also started at Western and went to Yesco after the purchase. He designed the Barbary Coast storefront, the Hacienda horse and rider the Orleans and many others over the years. We also lost Raul Rodriguez. He designed the Flamingo storefront when he was at Heath among others. He then went on to become the most awarded float designer for the Rose Parade. They and their contributions to the sign industry will be greatly missed.
  3. Thought this might be of interest. Electronic display user in upstate NY gets fined and goes to jail for violating 10 minute hold time rule. See Link Below http://www.wivb.com/dpp/news/crime/15-day-jail-sentence-over-lockport-sign
