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 to operate within the manufacturer’s speci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 ashing

to the set code

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 ash 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 tted. The torque setting applied to each of the 4 Hex Bolts, be applied sufcient enough, to ensure that the Light Head base is secured rmly, 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, at surface.

3–5NM+ Marine Lanterns

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 20% - 40% depending on the maximum intensity. Refer to Sealite power calculator to con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:-

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 con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 ash code 00 is congured.

• 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%.

Symbols

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

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.

SL-C310, SL-C410 & SL-C415

3–5NM+ Marine Lanterns

The SL-C310/410/415 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 speci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 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.

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

• Flash Code: read the current ash code, congure a new ash code.

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

level.

• Ambient Light Thresholds: read the current light thresholds, congure new ambient light thresholds.

• Perform a battery health check.

On receiving a valid key signal from the IR Remote, the light will 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 ash quickly 5 times. In this case, the command will have to be restarted.

Error / Acknowledge 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 – undened.)

The light ashes 5 times for 1 second.

When a key sequence has been entered successfully the light will respond acknowledgement with a long 1 second ash.

Conguration 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 congured 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.

Hibernation Mode (Advanced users)

For situations where the lantern is put into storage for a known period, the IR Remote control can be used to con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 de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.

T/CT/C

Store Hibernation Mode Date Range

The following details the key press sequence that denes the start and end dates of Hibernation

Mode:

where ddmm is the numerical representation of the month (01=January, 08=August) of the start date, and DDMM is the numerical representation of the end date.

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

The lantern will respond by ashing an acknowledge long 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 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.

Designed to be almost maintenance-free, the SL-C310. SL-C410 and SL-C415 require minimal attention, though the following maintenance and servicing information is provided to help ensure the life of your

Sealite product.

1. Cleaning Solar Panels- occasional cleaning of the solar panels may be required. Using a cloth and

warm soapy water, wipe off any foreign matter before rinsing the panels with fresh water.

2. Battery Check- inspection of batteries should be performed every three years (minimum) to ensure

that the charger, battery and ancillary electronics are functioning correctly. Using a voltage meter, check that the battery voltage is at least 12 volts under 100mA load, and ensure all terminals are clear of foreign matter.

3. O-Ring Check- inspect the condition of the o-ring for damage, wear or if it is brittle, and replace if

necessary. The o-ring should be a rubber texture to ensure a complete and even seal.

Replacing the Battery

The SL-C310, SL-C410 and SL-C415 have an internal battery compartment, which provides the user with the ability to change the battery after years of operation.

1. Remove the four socket-head screws on the top lens assembly and separate the SL-C310/410 lens

assembly from the body/base section.

2. Remove 2 x M4 cap screws & washers from the top of the chassis.

3. Disconnect the light head and battery via the 4Pin connector.

4. Lift the upper battery bracket out of the SL-C310/410.

5. Remove the old battery from the chassis.

6. Contact Sealite if you require a battery.

8. Reconnect the new battery.

9. Place battery back inside lantern body, and position the upper battery bracket in the top of the chassis.

10. Secure using 2 x M4 cap screws & washers.

11. Feed all wiring back inside lantern body, and make sure the o-ring is properly placed at the top of the

lantern body. Reconnect the 4 pin connector.

12. Place the top lens assembly back onto the lantern body and replace 4 socket head screws. Half

tighten all 4 socket head screws, and then fully tighten each socket head screw to ensure an even

seal.

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.

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

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

To ensure waterproong of the unit, make sure that there is an even seal.

Long Term Battery Storage

If the SL-C310/410/415 is to be placed in storage for an extended period please follow the below information. The sealed lead acid batteries inside the lights must always be stored in a fully charged state. Always make sure the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position. If an ON/OFF switch is not tted please disconnect the light head from the solar unit. All batteries will discharge over time and the rate of discharge is dependent on temperature. If the light is being stored in temperatures greater than 40ºC the battery will discharge faster. Please check battery regularly and recharge if necessary.

Problem Remedy

Lantern will not activate. • Ensure lantern is in darkness.

• Wait at least 60 seconds for the program to initialise in darkness.

• Ensure switch setting is on a valid code (not unused ash code).

• Ensure battery terminals and light head are properly connected.

• Ensure battery voltage is above 12volts.

• Check the Status LED’s on the base of the PCB to determine what type of fault the light is activating.

Flash Codes will not change. • Turn rotary switches several times to ensure contacts are clear.

Lantern will not operate for the entire night.

• Expose lantern to direct sunlight and monitor operation for several days. Sealite products typically require 2.5 hours

of direct sunlight per day to retain full autonomy. From a discharged state, the lantern may require several days of operational conditions to ‘cycle’ up to full autonomy.

• Reducing the light output intensity or duty cycle (ash code) will reduce current draw on the battery.

• Ensure solar module is clean and not covered by shading during the day.
