Operating Principle
The solar module of the lantern converts sunlight to an electrical current that is used to charge the battery. The
battery provides power to operate the lantern at night.
The asher unit has very low current requirements. A microprocessor drives an ultra bright LED through a
DC/DC converter, which enables the LED’s to operate within the manufacturer’s specications. The battery is
protected from over-charging within the circuit to ensure maximum battery life.
On darkness, the microprocessor will initiate a program check and after approximately 1 minute begin ashing
to the set code

Selecting an Intensity/Power Setting
SL07, SLC310 & SLC410 Models
Intensity/power settings on Sealite lanterns operate via DIP switches, located near the rotary switches
on the asher 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 25%. 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 ash code is congured 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 ash code 00 is congured.
• The intensity settings available for lamps with a ash code set to 00 are 25% and 50%. The lamp
will ash an error condition if an intensity setting greater than 50% is selected with the IR Remote
Control.
• If the ash code is changed from 00 to another value, the maximum allowable intensity reverts back
to 100%.

F Fixed
Q Quick ash
VQ Very quick ash
OC Occulting; greater period on than off
ISO Isophase; equal period on and off
LFL Long ash long
MO Morse code ( ) contains letter
For example, VQ (6) + LFL 10 S means 6 very quick ashes followed by a long ash, 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.

GPS Synchronisation
SL07, SLC310 & SLC410 Models
The SL07, SLC310 and SLC410 models come with GPS tted as standard, and provide the user with
the ability to install independently operating lanterns that all ash in synchronisation.
No additional power supplies, aerials or control systems are required, and with its microprocessorbased system, the GPS option is specically 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 ash 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 ash 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 ash codes are selected.
GPS Power Demand
The GPS synchronisation feature has been designed to function with a very low power demand.
Typically the total 24hr current used by the GPS module is 36mAh. This is approximately equivalent to
8 minutes of solar charging.
Note: To disable GPS synchronisation refer to GPS Synchronisation Control and Status in the IR
Controller Functions section of this manual.

Lux
L
This key sets the Ambient Light levels for the light. The format is L <1 (Lux D-N) or 2 (Lux N-D)> <Lux
Level (1 to 9)> T.
There are 9 programmable lux levels for both the night - day and day – night transitions. The levels 1
to 9 represent increasing Lux levels. The Lux range between levels 1 and 9 is approximately 50 Lux.
The nominal and factory preset value is 5. This equates to the day - night transition occurring at
around 100Lux, (the level at which the lamp turns on), and a night – day transition of around 150 Lux
(the level at which the lamp turns off).

Error Indication
If the key sequence is invalid, or an out of bounds value is attempted to be set, the light ashes 5
times for 1 second. (The command then needs to be sent from the start.)
Example key sequence: (Set the intensity level to 5 – undened.)
I
Conguration Settings
The intensity and ash codes can be changed using the switches on the lamp circuit board or with the
IR Remote Control. The lamp intensity and ash code settings are set to the last detected change,
carried out with the IR Remote Control or by changing the switch positions.
Example #1: If the intensity is set at 100% with the intensity switches, and is then set to 50% using
the IR Remote Control, the intensity setting will change to 50%. If the intensity is then set to 75% using
the switches, the new intensity value will be 75%.
In order to change intensity settings using the IR Remoter Control, the lamp must be powered.
The lamp can detect a change in switch settings if they are changed while the light is powered down.
Example #2: The ash code is set according to the switch settings: A=5, B = 1. The operator changes
the ash code to 65 (A=4, B=1) using the IR Remote Control. The new ash code is now congured to
A=4, B=1. The lamp is powered down and the operator changes the ash code switches to A=3, B=1
and powers on the light. The new ash code is now A=3, B=1. If the ash code is read from the light
using the IR Remote Control, the lamp will ash 49 which is the corresponding number for switches
A=3, B=1.
Use the IR Remote Control to read the current lamp intensity setting and ash code.
