Daktronics FLR5-400 Installation And Operation Manual

FLR5-400 Installation and Operation
Quick Guide
This quick guide describes radio receiver installation as well as setup and operation of an FLR5-400 key
fob with an FL-5000 display. The key fob can either function as the primary display control method or as
a backup for an existing Fuelight 5000 system. Refer to Fuelink 5 Backup (p.9) for more information.
Note: Wait at least three minutes after making any changes to the configuration, content, dimming, or
fonts before powering down the displays to ensure changes are saved to internal memory.
Install Receiver
1. Remove the top-left module by inserting a 1/8" Allen wrench into the
latch access hole toward the top-center of the module and gently
turning counter-clockwise. Refer to Figure 1.
2. Carefully tilt the module away from the face sheet.
3. Install the radio receiver as described below and shown in Figure 2:
a. Mount the receiver onto the studs on the power termination plate
inside the cabinet using a 5/16" nut driver and two provided nuts.
b. Connect the 2' mod-to-mod cable (part # W-4817959) to
the receiver.
Note: When used as a backup, instead connect the 15'
line-to-line cable (part # W-4821291).
c. Connect the other end of the 2' mod-to-mod cable to
the PORT A SIGNAL jack on the top-left module.
Note: When used as a backup, route the 15' line-to-line
cable to the last module in the display chain.
Refer to Fuelink 5 Backup (p.9).
d. Line up the metal bump on the rear of the antenna
mounting bracket with the small rectangular cutout in
the upper-left corner of the face sheet, and then use
the provided self-tapping screw to attach the mounting
bracket to the face sheet.
e. Remove the nut and lock washer from the antenna cable
connector, and then push it out through the D-hole in the
antenna mounting bracket. Place the lock washer back
on the antenna cable connector first, and then thread on
the nut and tighten it using a 5/16" nut driver or wrench.
f.
Thread the antenna onto the antenna cable; turn
clockwise until snug and pointing straight upward like a capital "L".
Tighten the antenna using a 5/16" wrench.
g. Route the antenna cable into the cabinet through the lower
rectangular cutout in the face sheet, and then use a provided zip tie
in the vertical slots to secure it flat against the face sheet.
h. Connect the antenna cable to the receiver.
i. Use another zip tie to secure the antenna cable to the metal bump
to the left of the receiver.
4. Reinstall the module, ensuring no cables are pinched against the face
sheet. Refer to Figure 3. Once you feel resistance on the latch, continue
to turn clockwise until you feel a hard stop to verify the module is firmly secured in place.
