Quick Start Guide
AV-OL-310
Introduction
The purpose of this Quick Start Guide is to present a brief summary of the steps involved in deploying your Avlite provided self-contained solar light.
Your product will consist of a prewired and preassembled AV-OL-310 solar light fixture.
» AV-OL-310
Avlite’s self-contained solar light fixture is a steady burning, low intensity LED obstruction light designed to comply with FAA L-810 and
ICAO LIOL Type A and B requirements. The model can be used for marking obstacles of up to 45 meters above ground level such as
telecommunication towers, wind turbines, buildings and other tall structures.
» Theory Of Operations
The solar module of the light converts sunlight to an electrical current that is used to charge the battery during daylight hours. The battery
provides power to operate the light at night. For optimum solar charge performance, it is recommended that the unit is orientated with the solar
panels facing East-West.
FAA: By default, the lights are designed to turn ON when the ambient light decreases to not less than 35 foot-candles (376.7 lux) and turn OFF
when the ambient light increases to not more than 60 foot-candles (645.8 lux). These limits can be factory adjusted, if required.
ICAO: By default, the lights are designed to turn ON when the ambient light decreases to not less than 100 lux and turn OFF when the ambient
light increases to not more than 150 lux. These limits can be factory adjusted, if required.
Activate the Light Head
Remove the four socket-head cap screws on the lens assembly (Item 8).

Next, remove the 6 Phillips Head Screws from the underside of the light
head and remove Access Cover (GSM and SATCOM models also require
the removal of the communications board with 4 Phillips Head Screws).
Set the Intensity Dip switch to the required settings.
Replace the Access Cover and connect the 4 Pin connectors (Item 9) to
power up the unit (Replace the communications board if applicable).
Place the top lens assembly back onto the light body and replace 4 x
socket head screws. Recommended torque settings for Fitment of Light
Heads to Solar Base units using the supplied 4 Hex Bolts is 3Nm for a
satisfactory seal.
Note: Applying a higher Torque setting is not recommended and may void
warranty. If in doubt, please contact your local Avlite representative.
Check the O-ring and ensure that it is fitted correctly in the O-ring groove.

Place a dark cover (towel or jacket) on top of
the light to activate the sensor and ensure that
the light turns on.
Charge the Battery
New lights should be left in the sun for several days
to ensure the battery is charged before placing in
service.
Install the AV-OL-310
The AV-OL-310 is able to be installed on any appropriately
reinforced mounting point with a 200 PCD. Alternatively, the
appropriate mounting accessories can be purchased from
