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 certified 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.

Please remember to complete the Sealite warranty registration card accompanying your lantern.

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 flasher unit has very low current requirements. A microprocessor drives an array of ultra bright LED’s through a DC/DC converter, which enables the LED’s to operate within the manufacturer’s specifications. 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 flashing to the set code.

SLC420 Optional Configurations

GPS Synchronisation (SLC420-GPS)

This GPS option can be added to the SLC420 model previously outlined, and provides the user with the ability to mark a channel, port or river with independently operating lanterns that all flash in synchronisation. This improves the effectiveness of marker lights by highlighting the channel, port or river outline each time all the synchronised lights turn on.

No additional power supplies, aerials or control systems are required, and with its microprocessorbased system, the SLC420-GPS option is specifically designed to provide maximum reliability and performance over a wide range of environmental conditions. The GPS board is a separate PCB mounted above the standard SLC420 circuitry.

RF Synchronisation (SLC420-CS)

The SLC420-CS (Comm-sync) flash synchronised solar marine lantern is fitted with an internal RF module that operates on a 2.4Ghz frequency and has an operational range of 1.5km between 2 lights.

Should more than two lights be required to be synchronised the range may be extended for longer distances as the lanterns transmit data to the adjacent lantern, causing it to fall into synchronisation.

The only limitation is no lantern should be more than 1.5km from the next lantern in series.

The SLC420-CS lanterns operate within a peer to peer network topology and therefore are not dependant upon Master/Slave relationships. Using innovative software, the additional power consumption is minimal and in most configurations the SLC420-CS requires only 2 hours of direct sunlight per day to retain full working autonomy.

GSM Monitoring & Control (SLC420-GSM)

The SL420 may also be fitted with GSM monitoring and control capabilities, enabling users to access real-time diagnostic data remotely via Cell-phone or PC integration.

For more information please download the GSM Monitoring & Control System Manual from www.sealite.com

Radio Control (SLC420-RC)

Sealite’s radio-controlled lanterns (SLC420-RC) enable users to remotely customise the programming of their lanterns by a menu driven 2.4GHz handheld transceiver or PC interface.

Installation

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

The Lantern is activated by connecting the 2-Pin Connector between the battery and the regulator.

Flash Codes and Intensity settings needs to be set prior to activation.

IMPORTANT: to ensure the life of your product it is important that when attaching the Lens

Assembly (part #2) back onto the lantern base, that an even seal is created.

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

Activation and Testing of SLC420

1. Remove the four socket-head screws on the top lens assembly and lift the SLC420 lens assembly off the body.

2. The power and range settings of the lantern are adjusted by setting the DIP switches inside the lantern. Your lantern is normally set to maximum range (see ‘Selecting Intensity/Power Setting’ section of this manual).

3. Adjust the rotary switches (A and B) to desired flash setting (see ‘Selecting a Flash Code’ section of this manual).

4. Join the 4-Pin connector and the 2-Pin connector together to join the battery and solar panels to the light head. The battery is disconnected to reduce discharge during transportation and for long term storage.

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

6. Place the top lens assembly back onto the lantern body and replace 4 socket head screws. Make sure to tighten the 4 x cap screws evenly when securing the lens assembly.

The unit is now ready for normal operation, once placed in darkness.

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

30 seconds.

8. Ensure that the unit is bolted to an even, flat surface.

Selecting an Intensity/Power Setting

Intensity/power settings on Sealite lanterns operate via DIP switches, located near the rotary switches on the flasher unit. The pulse 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.

Long flash long

Morse code ( ) contains letter

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

Maintenance and Servicing

Designed to be almost maintenance-free, the SLC420 requires 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 SLC420 has 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 SLC420 lens assembly from the body/base section.

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

3. Separate the light head and battery connectors.

4. Lift the upper battery bracket out of the SLC420.

5. Remove the old battery from the chassis.

6. Contact Sealite if the replacement battery is not fitted with an Sealite 2 pin connector.

7. Discard old battery in a safe manner.

8. Reconnect the new batter - contact Sealite if you require a new battery. Battery requires a 2 pin connector.

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.

12. Place the top lens assembly back onto the lantern body and replace 4 socket head screws. Half tighten all 4 x socket head screws, and then fully tighten each socket head screw to ensure an even seal.

13. To test place dark cover (towel or jacket) on top of light to activate sensor, light will come on after 30 seconds.

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

To ensure waterproofing of the unit, make sure that no wires are protruding and that there is an even seal.

Always discard old batteries in a safe manner.

IMPORTANT: to ensure the life of your product it is important that when attaching the lens assembly back onto the lantern base, that an even seal is created between the casting and the lens base.

Solar Panel Replacement

The SLC420 is built around an internal aluminium chassis. The solar panels can be user-replaced in the unlikely event that one is broken or damaged during the product’s life.

Follow the steps below or contact [email protected] for more details.

1. Remove 4 x M6 x 20 socket head cap screws (SHCS) and 4 x M6 nylon washers and disconnect the light head from the chassis

2. Remove the 2 x M4 x 20 socket head cap screws (SHCS), 2 x M4 spring washers and 2 x M4 penny washers. Remove the upper battery bracket containing regulator

3. Disconnect the battery

4. Remove 4 x M6-35mm long socket head cap screws, to remove the top casting from the chassis.

Note:

Be careful not to damage the o-rings on each of these screws. If replacements are required please use standard 6x1.0mm o-ring.

5. Slide the rubber corner out of the chassis, it may be necessary to lubricate the edges of the solar panels with grease or oil based lubricant if this is difficult to remove.

6. Unscrew the affected panel wires from the regulator and remove the solar panel from the chassis.

7. Clean any silicon off the chassis from the solar panel junction box hole and add a new seal to ensure the solar panel is watertight when assembled.

8. Repeat the process in the reverse order to replace a new panel.

Note:

Make sure the O-rings on the top casting and 4 x M6-35mm long socket head cap screws are coated in silicon grease before re-assembling.

The replacement of a solar panel should only be performed by a confident technician.

Sealite cannot guarantee the chassis will remain waterproof, if it not performed by Sealite staff.

To test for any leaks remove the gore vent and pressurise the assembled Light to 1.5psi.

Trouble Shooting

Problem

Lantern will not activate.

Remedy

• 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 flash code).

• 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. (see Lantern Status section of this manual)

Timing 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 1.5 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 (flash code) will reduce current draw on the battery.

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

All Sealite boards are fitted with two Indicator LED’s. These are positioned near the Flash Code Rotary

Switches. Use the table below to help determine operational status.
