This quick guide provides steps for installing the receiver and setting up a FLR3-100 key fob with a
FuelightTM Gen 3 display.
Installing the Receiver
1. Using a at-head screwdriver, open the digit face to access inside
the digit cabinet.
2. Remove both antenna hole plugs from the digit face. Refer to
Figure 1.
3. Place the receiver on to the mounting studs on the back of the
digit face. Refer to Figure 2.
4. Use a 5/16" nut driver to secure the receiver to the mounting studs
using the two provided nuts.
5. Place the threaded end of the antenna cable through the
antenna hole.
6. Place the at washer over the threaded end of the antenna cable. Refer
to Figure 2.
7. Thread the provided nut on to the threaded end of the antenna cable
and tighten using an 11/32" wrench.
8. Thread the female end of the antenna on to the threaded end of the
antenna cable and turn the antenna clockwise until snug. Refer to
Figure 2.
9. Connect the receiver cable from receiver to the driver. Refer to Figure 3.
10. Neatly secure any excess cable with cable ties.
11. Close and secure the digit face.
Setting the Security DIP Switches
The FLR3-100 key fob has a series of dip switches on the back to give it a unique address setting. Set
these switches to a unique setting to prevent others from being able to control your display.
1. Remove the small cover on the back of the FLR3-100 key fob radio. Refer to Figure 4.
2. Using a paper clip or a micro screwdriver, set the switches to a unique setting.
3. Replace the back cover.

Mating the Key Fob With the Display
Follow these steps to mate
the display with the FLR3-100
key fob. If these steps are not
completed, the display will
not recognize or respond to
the key fob.
1. Turn power on to the
display.
2. While display is booting
up, or within 5 minutes,
press and hold -1 and +1
buttons until the decimal
ashes 3 times. Refer to
Figure 4.
3. Once the decimal point
ashes 3 times, release the
buttons.
Setting the Display Line Numbers
Follow these steps to map the line number for each display. It is important that each display is set for the
correct line number for it to show the correct price.
1. Make sure the display is turned on.
2. Press and hold the -2 and +2 buttons on the key fob until the host display face begins to dim and
brighten or the decimal begins to ash. This takes about ve seconds.
3. While the display slowly ashes, press the +2 button until the appropriate line number is shown on the
display (L01, L02, etc).
4. Once the line number is set, press and hold the -2 and +2 buttons until the next display face begins
to slowly ash.
5. Repeat these steps until all display faces have been correctly mapped.
6. Exit conguration mode by pressing and holding the -2 and +2 buttons until the displays show prices
and they no longer ash; about ve seconds.

Note: If key fobs and displays are mated prior to installation, verify that they are still properly
synced to one another at the time of installation.
Note: The host display is the display with the radio antenna connected to it.
Note: If a display gets set incorrectly, complete the process with the remaining displays then
repeat to correct.
Note: All displays are programmed with a default price matching their line number. Use this to
easily identify that all displays are addressed correctly.

Number Conguration
This section steps you through conguring the numbers six
and nine and the fraction display preferences.
1. Make sure display is turned on.
2. Press and hold the -3 and +3 buttons on the key fob
until all displays show the numbers 6 and 9. The number
scheme will be either 3.69 9/10 or 4.69 9/10. Refer to
Figure 5.
3. Press the Plus (+) or Minus (-) keys to scroll through the
different conguration options.
4. When the desired conguration is shown on the
displays, press and hold the -3 and +3 buttons to exit
conguration mode.
Entering Test Mode
Entering test mode causes the displays to cycle through
various pieces of information that can be useful when
working with Daktronics Technical Support.
1. Press and hold the -4 and +4 buttons of the key fob until
the displays begin cycling through test mode.
2. Exit test mode by pressing and holding the -4 and +4 buttons until the displays return to showing
prices; approximately ve seconds.
Controlling Five or More Fuel Grades or Multiple Pylons
Use the following steps when controlling more than four fuel grades in the same pylon or when more
than one pylon exists on the same site.
Important Terms
• Host Display - Display that has the receiver card connected to it.
• Fuelight System - Host display and all other displays that are connected to the host with a line to line
cable.

Figure 6: International Digit Conguration
Note: For Domestic displays with a 9/10s digit, the
number 3 needs to show in the rst column for
the desired format. For International displays,
make sure the number 4 shows in the rst
column for the desired format.
Note: International displays offer two conguration
options - tails and 9 and no tails and 9, as
shown in Figure 6.
Note: The same instructions apply to installation in a sign shop or on site.
Note: Two or more FLR3-100 key fobs are required.
Note: Each keyfob is limited to controlling a maximum of four grades and only displays a single pylon.

Option 1: Dedicated (Branch) Circuits
1. Ensure a dedicated branch circuit is installed for each Fuelight system. This allows a power cycle for
each Fuelight system so the keyfob can be synced only to that system.
2. Shut off all power.
3. Power up the rst Fuelight system and sync the keyfob per Section Mating the Key Fob With the
Display (p. 2).
4. After the rst Fuelight system and key fob are synced, shut off power to this circuit after 5 minutes.
5. Power up the second Fuelight system and sync that key fob.
6. Shut down power after 5 minutes.
7. Repeat this step for additional Fuelight systems.
8. Once all key fobs are synced and marked to designate which Fuelight system they control, power
up all branch circuits.
9. Key fob synchronization is complete.
10. Map the lines of all of the displays in each of the Fuelight systems per Section Setting the Display Line
Numbers (p. 2).
Option 2: Single Branch Circuit for All Fuelight Systems
Use this option when a single branch circuit is wired to all pylons and Fuelight systems.
All Fuelight systems turn off and on simultaneously requiring access to the inside of the host display of
each Fuelight system to sync to its dedicated key fob.
1. In the host display of each Fuelight system, unplug the driver power supply.
2. Power up the rst Fuelight system by reconnecting the power supply to the driver.
3. Sync the keyfob per Section Mating the Key Fob With the Display (p. 2).
4. After the rst Fuelight system and key fob are synced, disconnect the power supply from the driver
after 5 minutes.
5. Power up the second Fuelight system by reconnecting the power supply to the driver and sync that
key fob.
6. Unplug the power supply from the driver after 5 minutes.
7. Repeat this step for additional Fuelight systems.
8. Once all key fobs are synced and marked to designate which Fuelight system they control,
reconnect all power supplies to their drivers in all host displays.
9. Key fob synchronization is complete.
10. Map the lines of all of the displays in each of the Fuelight systems per Section Setting the Display Line
Numbers (p. 2).
Note: If there are multiple pylons, repeat the steps above for each pylon.
Note: Make sure only one pylon is powered on at a time.
Note: If there are multiple pylons, repeat the steps above for each pylon.
Note: Make sure only one pylon is powered on at a time.
