Installation
1. Mount the display into the sign structure using the provided holes in
the mounting flange. Alternate holes can be drilled into the mouting
flange if needed. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 .
Note: Do not drill holes into the display face. This will void the
warranty.
2. Use appropriate screws or other hardware to secure the sign to the
structure.
Note: The display is front ventilated. Do not block the display face.
This may void the display warranty.
Grounding
FL-3000 and FL-4500 series displays do not require a local earth ground
electrode.
The displays still require a safety ground from the electrical service panel
for the primary power wires to comply with national electric codes.

displays using a two wire plus ground circuit.
The ground from the circuit must be connected to the ground bus bar
or green wire attached to the
grounding stud within each Fuelight
display. Refer to Figure 3 . Do not
connect neutral to ground at the
disconnect or at the display, this
would violate electrical codes
and void the warranty. Use a
disconnect so that all ungrounded
conductors can be disconnected.
To connect power to the display:
1. Route the power cable into
the display through one of
the knockouts on the display’s
backsheet.
2. Use wire nuts or other
appropriate hardware to
connect power wires - hot
(black) and neutral (white) - to
the power supply harness or
pigtail. Refer to Figure 3 and
Figure 4 .
