Installation Charging the Battery
New lanterns should be left in the sun for 1-2 days to ensure battery is charged before placing in service. Please note, lantern will re-charge even when toggle switch is turned to ‘OFF’ position.
Preferred Installation Location For best lantern performance, ensure solar modules are not covered and are in clear view of the sky with no shadows. Lantern Operation
Lantern is activated by connecting the battery terminals. Flash setting needs to be set prior to activation. 1. Remove the four socket-head screws on the top lens assembly and open. 2. Remove the bung in the base of the light head. 3. Adjust the Intensity setting using the DIP switches (detailed below) 4. Adjust the rotary switches (A and B) to desired flash setting (see ‘Selecting a Flash Code’ section of this manual). 5. Replace the bung in the base of the light head. 6. Connect the 4-pin connector together to power up the unit. 7. The unit is now ready for normal operation, once placed in darkness. 8. Close the light head, and replace 4 socket head screws. Sealite, recommend that the Light Head be tightened onto the Solar Chassis Base using a general purpose “Grip Tool”, similar in shape to a Screwdriver, however with the appropriate Hex Key Head fitted. The torque setting applied to each of the 4 Hex Bolts, be applied sufficient enough, to ensure that the Light Head base is secured firmly, but not over tightened with excessive force.
To achieve a satisfactory seal, it is recommended that a torque of 3Nm is applied to the bolts used for holding down the Light Head to the Solar Base and that only the supplied bolts are used.
Applying a higher Torque setting is not recommended and may void warranty. If in doubt, please contact your local Sealite representative.
9. To test place dark cover (towel or jacket) on top of light to activate sensor, light will come on within one minute. 10. Ensure that the unit is bolted to an even, flat surface. Item

Selecting an Intensity/Power Setting Intensity/power settings on Sealite lanterns operate via DIP switches, located near the rotary switches on the flasher unit. The intensity/power settings may be used to reduce the power consumption and intensity of the lantern. Setting the lantern to 25% intensity will reduce the power consumption to 25% of the normal 100% setting and the range by 20% - 40% depending on the maximum intensity. Refer to Sealite power calculator to confirm reduced range. This setting may be used to adjust the current draw of the light to local sunlight conditions.

If the number of Full Sunlight hours is less than 2.5-3.0 hours, please consider reducing the intensity (Power) or reducing the Duty Cycle.
Automatic Intensity Reduction for Fixed-On Character • When the flash code is configured to 00 or ‘Steady On’, the maximum intensity is set to 50%. If a higher intensity is previously set when the lamp is on, the intensity will automatically fall to the 50% setting when flash code 00 is configured. • The intensity settings available for lamps with a flash code set to 00 are 25% and 50%. The lamp will flash an error condition if an intensity setting greater than 50% is selected with the IR Remote Control. • If the flash code is changed from 00 to another value, the maximum allowable intensity reverts back to 100%.

Morse code ( ) contains letter
For example, VQ (6) + LFL 10 S means 6 very quick flashes followed by a long flash, during a 10-second interval. The amount of power your lantern draws through the night depends on the duty cycle, i.e. the amount of time on as a proportion to the timing cycle. For example, 0.5 seconds on and 4.5 seconds off equals a 10% duty cycle. It is best to operate at the lowest duty cycle appropriate to the actual needs of the application.

SL-C310, SL-C410 & SL-C415 3–5NM+ Marine Lanterns
GPS Synchronisation The SL-C310/410/415 models come with GPS fitted as standard, and provide the user with the ability to install independently operating lanterns that all flash in synchronisation. No additional power supplies, aerials or control systems are required, and with its microprocessorbased system, the GPS option is specifically designed to provide maximum reliability and performance over a wide range of environmental conditions.
Operating Principle Each light operates independently and requires no operator intervention. A minimum of 4 satellites need to be in view for the built-in GPS receiver to collect time data. At dusk, the light sensor will turn the light on. If time data is available the light will come on synchronised to every other light with the same selected flash code. Synchronisation is achieved using an internal algorithm based on the highly accurate time base and time data received from the satellites. The satellite data is provided from a number of earth stations using atomic clocks as the time base. Continuous self-checking ensures that the light will continue to run in synchronisation.
Light Activation At power-up the microprocessor checks that the internal GPS module is programmed correctly and is able to provide valid time base and time data. Once outside with a clear view of the sky, valid data should become available within 20 minutes.
Daylight Operation During daylight hours the microprocessor is in idle mode to reduce power consumption. Time data continues to be updated once per second. The microprocessor will automatically exit the idle mode as soon as dark conditions are detected.
Dark Operation When dark conditions are detected the light: •
Checks for valid time data and is turned on after a delay based on the current time and the length of the selected flash code;
•
If valid time data is not detected the light will turn on after approximately 10 seconds. This light will not be synchronised.
•
If the light turns on unsynchronised it will continually check for valid time data. Once valid data is found the light will automatically synchronise.
Note: Lights will not synchronise if different flash codes are selected.

Installation Charging the Battery
New lanterns should be left in the sun for 1-2 days to ensure battery is charged before placing in service. Please note, lantern will re-charge even when toggle switch is turned to ‘OFF’ position.
Preferred Installation Location For best lantern performance, ensure solar modules are not covered and are in clear view of the sky with no shadows. Lantern Operation
Lantern is activated by connecting the battery terminals. Flash setting needs to be set prior to activation. 1. Remove the four socket-head screws on the top lens assembly and open. 2. Remove the bung in the base of the light head. 3. Adjust the Intensity setting using the DIP switches (detailed below) 4. Adjust the rotary switches (A and B) to desired flash setting (see ‘Selecting a Flash Code’ section of this manual). 5. Replace the bung in the base of the light head. 6. Connect the 4-pin connector together to power up the unit. 7. The unit is now ready for normal operation, once placed in darkness. 8. Close the light head, and replace 4 socket head screws. Sealite, recommend that the Light Head be tightened onto the Solar Chassis Base using a general purpose “Grip Tool”, similar in shape to a Screwdriver, however with the appropriate Hex Key Head fitted. The torque setting applied to each of the 4 Hex Bolts, be applied sufficient enough, to ensure that the Light Head base is secured firmly, but not over tightened with excessive force.
To achieve a satisfactory seal, it is recommended that a torque of 3Nm is applied to the bolts used for holding down the Light Head to the Solar Base and that only the supplied bolts are used.
Applying a higher Torque setting is not recommended and may void warranty. If in doubt, please contact your local Sealite representative.
9. To test place dark cover (towel or jacket) on top of light to activate sensor, light will come on within one minute. 10. Ensure that the unit is bolted to an even, flat surface. Item

Selecting an Intensity/Power Setting Intensity/power settings on Sealite lanterns operate via DIP switches, located near the rotary switches on the flasher unit. The intensity/power settings may be used to reduce the power consumption and intensity of the lantern. Setting the lantern to 25% intensity will reduce the power consumption to 25% of the normal 100% setting and the range by 20% - 40% depending on the maximum intensity. Refer to Sealite power calculator to confirm reduced range. This setting may be used to adjust the current draw of the light to local sunlight conditions.

If the number of Full Sunlight hours is less than 2.5-3.0 hours, please consider reducing the intensity (Power) or reducing the Duty Cycle.
Automatic Intensity Reduction for Fixed-On Character • When the flash code is configured to 00 or ‘Steady On’, the maximum intensity is set to 50%. If a higher intensity is previously set when the lamp is on, the intensity will automatically fall to the 50% setting when flash code 00 is configured. • The intensity settings available for lamps with a flash code set to 00 are 25% and 50%. The lamp will flash an error condition if an intensity setting greater than 50% is selected with the IR Remote Control. • If the flash code is changed from 00 to another value, the maximum allowable intensity reverts back to 100%.

For example, VQ (6) + LFL 10 S means 6 very quick flashes followed by a long flash, during a 10-second interval. The amount of power your lantern draws through the night depends on the duty cycle, i.e. the amount of time on as a proportion to the timing cycle. For example, 0.5 seconds on and 4.5 seconds off equals a 10% duty cycle. It is best to operate at the lowest duty cycle appropriate to the actual needs of the application.

SL-C310, SL-C410 & SL-C415 3–5NM+ Marine Lanterns
GPS Synchronisation The SL-C310/410/415 models come with GPS fitted as standard, and provide the user with the ability to install independently operating lanterns that all flash in synchronisation. No additional power supplies, aerials or control systems are required, and with its microprocessorbased system, the GPS option is specifically designed to provide maximum reliability and performance over a wide range of environmental conditions.
Operating Principle Each light operates independently and requires no operator intervention. A minimum of 4 satellites need to be in view for the built-in GPS receiver to collect time data. At dusk, the light sensor will turn the light on. If time data is available the light will come on synchronised to every other light with the same selected flash code. Synchronisation is achieved using an internal algorithm based on the highly accurate time base and time data received from the satellites. The satellite data is provided from a number of earth stations using atomic clocks as the time base. Continuous self-checking ensures that the light will continue to run in synchronisation.
Light Activation At power-up the microprocessor checks that the internal GPS module is programmed correctly and is able to provide valid time base and time data. Once outside with a clear view of the sky, valid data should become available within 20 minutes.
Daylight Operation During daylight hours the microprocessor is in idle mode to reduce power consumption. Time data continues to be updated once per second. The microprocessor will automatically exit the idle mode as soon as dark conditions are detected.
Dark Operation When dark conditions are detected the light: •
Checks for valid time data and is turned on after a delay based on the current time and the length of the selected flash code;
•
If valid time data is not detected the light will turn on after approximately 10 seconds. This light will not be synchronised.
•
If the light turns on unsynchronised it will continually check for valid time data. Once valid data is found the light will automatically synchronise.
Note: Lights will not synchronise if different flash codes are selected.
