1–4NM+ Marine Lanterns

Introduction

Congratulations! By choosing to purchase a Sealite lantern you have become the owner of
one of the most advanced LED marine lanterns in the world.

Sealite Pty Ltd has been manufacturing lanterns for over 25 years, and particular care has been taken to
ensure your lantern gives years of service.

As a commitment to producing the highest quality products for our customers, Sealite has been independently
certifi ed as complying with the requirements of ISO9001:2008 quality management system.

Sealite lanterns comply with requirements of the US Coast Guard in 33 CFR part 66 for Private Aids To
Navigation.

By taking a few moments to browse through this booklet, you will become familiar with the versatility of your
lantern, and be able to maximise its operating function.

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 fl asher unit has very low current requirements. A microprocessor drives an ultra bright LED through a
DC/DC converter, which enables the LED to operate within the manufacturer’s specifi cations. 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 fl ashing
to the set code

Installation of SL-07 Series Models

Lantern is activated by the connection of positive and negative wires to battery or mains system. Flash
setting needs to be set prior to activation.

1. Remove the marked fl ash adjustment bung from the base of the lantern and set rotary switches to
the required fl ash code (see ‘Selecting a Flash Code’ section of this manual).

2. Replace fl ash adjustment bung.

3. A sealed vent on the base allows air transfer without moisture intake, and should not be disturbed.

4. Battery Connection: Connect “Battery Negative (-)” wire to negative terminal of battery, and
“Battery Positive (+)” wire to positive terminal of battery.
Mains Connection: Connect negative and then positive wires to 12volt power supply (ONLY).

5. To test place dark cover (towel or jacket) on top of light to activate sensor, light will come on within
one minute.

6. Ensure that the unit is bolted to an even, fl at surface.

Care must be taken to observe the polarity of each wire before they are connected.

Selecting an Intensity/Power Setting

Intensity/power settings on Sealite lanterns operate via DIP switches, located near the rotary switches
on the fl 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 20% - 40% depending on the maximum intensity. Refer
to Sealite power calculator to confi rm reduced range. This setting may be used to adjust the current
draw of the light to local sunlight conditions.

The following diagrams indicate intensity/power settings:-

Automatic Intensity Reduction for Fixed-On Character

• When the fl ash code is confi gured 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 fl ash code 00 is confi gured.

• The intensity settings available for lamps with a fl ash code set to 00 are 25% and 50%. The lamp

will fl ash an error condition if an intensity setting greater than 50% is selected with the IR Remote
Control.

• If the fl ash code is changed from 00 to another value, the maximum allowable intensity reverts back

to 100%.

All lanterns have 2 rotary switches marked A and B on the fl asher unit. Turning the small arrows to the
appropriate number or letter will set the code. The unit may take up to one minute to activate a new
fl ash code. A comprehensive list of available fl ash codes is listed on in the ‘Flash Codes’ section of this
manual.

Flash Codes

The Sealite SL-07 Series may be set to any of 256 IALA recommended fl ash settings which are user-
adjustable onsite without the need for external devices.

SEALITE® code reference is listed by number of fl ashes

For the latest version of this document visit www.sealite.com

or email [e-mail]

Symbols

FL Flash followed by number Eg. FL 1 S, one fl ash every second

F Fixed

Q Quick fl ash

VQ Very quick fl ash

OC Occulting; greater period on than off

ISO Isophase; equal period on and off

LFL Long fl ash long

MO Morse code ( ) contains letter

For example, VQ (6) + LFL 10 S means 6 very quick fl ashes followed by a long fl 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.

SL-07 Series

1–4NM+ Marine Lanterns

GPS Synchronisation

The SL-07 Series come with GPS fi tted as standard, and provide the user with the ability to install
independently operating lanterns that all fl ash in synchronisation.

No additional power supplies, aerials or control systems are required, and with its microprocessor­based system, the GPS option is specifi cally 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 fl 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 fl 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 fl ash codes are selected.

Lantern Status

Two status LED’s on the main printed circuit board provide the operator with an indication of the
lantern status.

There is one red and one yellow status LED. The red status LED is used to indicate the health of the
lantern’s power system. The yellow status LED is used to indicate the operational status of the lantern.

These indicator LED’s can be viewed at the base of the lens.

Optional IR Remote Control

The IR remote is used to communicate with Sealite lighting products that have
an IR sensor fi tted. The remote control is used for the following functions:

• Flash Code: read the current fl ash code, confi gure a new fl ash code.

• Lamp Intensity: read the current lamp intensity, confi gure a new intensity

level.

• Ambient Light Thresholds: read the current light thresholds, confi gure new

ambient light thresholds.

• Perform a battery health check.

On receiving a valid key signal from the IR Remote, the light will fl ash once.
The user should wait until the light responds to each keypress before pressing
another key. If there is no response to the keypress after 3 seconds, it has not
been detected by the light and the key can be pressed again.

If an invalid key is detected, the light will fl ash quickly 5 times. In this case, the
command will have to be restarted.

Confi guration Settings

The intensity and fl ash codes can be changed using the switches on the lamp circuit board or with the
IR Remote Control. The lamp intensity and fl 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 fl ash code is set according to the switch settings: A=5, B = 1. The operator changes
the fl ash code to 65 (A=4, B=1) using the IR Remote Control. The new fl ash code is now confi gured to
A=4, B=1. The lamp is powered down and the operator changes the fl ash code switches to A=3, B=1
and powers on the light. The new fl ash code is now A=3, B=1. If the fl ash code is read from the light
using the IR Remote Control, the lamp will fl 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 fl ash code.

Hibernation Mode (Advanced users)

SL-07 Series

1–4NM+ Marine Lanterns

L

For situations where the lantern is put into storage for a known period, the IR Remote control can be
used to confi gure the lantern into Hibernation Mode for a user programmable date range.

Hibernation Mode maximises conservation of the battery power by disabling the light (will not activate
at night) and shutting off the GPS receiver to rely on the internal clock for date checking. The IR
sensor is still monitored in hibernation mode. Power consumption is only bettered by physically
disconnecting the battery supply.

Hibernation Mode is defi ned by a start date and end date that are programmed into the lantern via the
IR Remote Control.

Using the IR Remote Control

The lantern must be in Test Mode prior to pressing any of the following key sequences. However,
the lantern will return to Normal Operation if it has not detected a valid key press for a period of 15
seconds. When the lantern exits from Test Mode it will either enter Dusk to Dawn mode, Hibernation
mode, or Storage Mode, if enabled.

Store Hibernation Mode Date Range

Mode:

where
and

e.g 9th of December is represented by the number sequence 0912.

The lantern will respond by fl ashing an acknowledge long fl ash.

This operation only stores the start & end dates into the lantern’s memory and Hibernation Mode still
must be enabled to commence its operation.

Enable Hibernation Mode

Pressing the following key sequence will enable (turn on) Hibernation Mode:

and the lantern will respond with a single fl ash.

The Lantern will take a new GPS reading, determine the calendar month, and then enter Hibernation
Mode and depending on the current calendar month setting will either Hibernate or enter Dusk-to­Dawn mode.

By default, Hibernation mode is disabled. Note you can only use this command once a valid
hibernation start & end date has been stored in the lantern.

ddmm is the numerical representation of the month (01=January, 08=August) of the start date,

DDMM is the numerical representation of the end date.

Storage Mode (Advanced users)

For situations where the lantern is put into storage but with access to daylight, the IR Remote control
can be used to confi gure the lantern into Storage Mode.

This mode manually forces the lantern to turn off, but with access to daylight it will still charge battery
pack. However the lantern will not keep track of the date.

In Storage Mode, the GPS is disabled however the lantern will still respond to IR commands.

The lantern will automatically enter Storage Mode, if it is hibernating and it has not detected any light
for 20 hours.

Enter Storage Mode

By pressing the following key sequence the lantern will enter Storage Mode:
