- If you are having issues deciphering which way the switches need to go, follow these steps.
- Set the dip switches on the back of the FLR-100 all one direction.
- Set the dip switches on the driver with the RC-50 radio connection to all one direction and test communication.
- If it fails, set the dip switches on the driver all the other direction and test communication.
- Once communication is established, change 1 or more dip switches on both to set a unique channel, if desired. This would be required if another gas station price sign is close by and using the same system. Cross talk could occur if both were set to the same unique address.
