6.0 Operation and Setup
Avlite’s AV-OL-310 is a robust, completely self-contained solar powered LED light. 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.
6.1 AV-OL-310
External ON/OFF Switch
The lights can be fitted with an external ON/OFF switch below the solar panel at the base of the unit. The ON/OFF switch may be useful if the unit is only required for short periods
(i.e. it is being moved or needs to be stored often) ,and disconnecting the battery is not viable.
External Battery Charging Port
The lights can be fitted with an external battery charging port which can be found below the solar panel at the base of the unit. This can be used to recharge the battery if the light is being stored for more than 1 month or if the amount of sunlight is limited (e.g. in challenging solar locations or during Winter months). Please see ‘Long Term Battery
Storage & Maintenance’ in the Maintenance & Servicing section of this manual. A suitable battery charger may be purchased separately from Avlite.
Remote Monitoring and Control
Avlite offers remote monitoring via GSM or SATCOM. Operators can remotely monitor the status of their installation from a compatible device. The system can also be configured to send out SMS text messages or e-mail alerts to designated operators should alarm conditions be triggered, such as low voltage or light failure.

AV-OL-310 - Solar Low Intensity Obstruction Light
Installation & Service Manual
6.1.1 GPS Synchronisation
Avlite has utilised the latest advancements in GPS technology to develop an internal synchronisation system that is incorporated into the lights. Using overhead satellites, multiple obstruction lights set to the same flash pattern will flash in unison. 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 dusk conditions are detected.
Night Operation
When dusk conditions are detected the light will carry out the following:
• Check for valid time data and turn 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.

AV-OL-310 - DC Solar Powered Low Intensity Obstruction Light
Installation & Service Manual
9.0 Trouble Shooting
Problem
Light will not activate.
Remedy
• Ensure light is in darkness.
• Wait at least 60 seconds for the program to initialise in darkness.
• Ensure Dip switch setting is correct
• Ensure battery terminals 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.
Light will not operate for the entire night.
• Expose light to direct sunlight and monitor operation for several days. Avlite products typically require 2.5 hours of direct sunlight per day to retain full autonomy.
From a discharged state, the light may require several days of operational conditions to ‘cycle’ up to full autonomy.
• Reducing the light output intensity will reduce current draw on the battery.
• Ensure solar module is clean and not covered by shading during the day.
