Setting the Panel: Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1
Verify the concrete ramp complies with all Federal, State, and local standards and building codes.
Ensure the ramp meets all project plans and specifications before installing the AlertCast panel.
Step 2
Ensure concrete characteristics match project specifications.
Maintain a slump range of 4–7 inches to provide a solid, stable base for the panel.
Step 3
Allow the concrete to set to a semi-solid state before installing the panels.
Use the Penetrator™ anchors to ensure easy installation with minimal aggregate displacement and maximum grip.
Step 4
Press the AlertCast panel into the wet concrete at the required location.
Tap the panel with a rubber mallet until it is flush with the adjacent concrete.
Do not step on the panel to embed it, as this can cause uneven setting or air voids.
Step 5
Verify the AlertCast panel installation aligns with all codes and project drawings.
Finish the surrounding concrete ramps and walks according to project specifications.
Avoid standing on the panel during the concrete curing stage to prevent shifting.
Step 6
Create a finished edge expansion joint around the panel perimeter while the concrete is still workable.
Ensure this step is completed if desired or required by specific project plans.
Step 7
Remove the protective plastic covering once the concrete has fully cured.
Use a sharp knife to carefully cut the plastic if needed.
