INTRODUCTION 3-HOLE FLANGE MOUNT
SETTING THE FLASH
POLE MOUNT
1. Remove fl ange mount
2. Slide the lantern over the pole; press down
to ensure lantern is well seated.
3. Secure with the provided 3 screws; if
required, drill 1/8 - 9/64 in. [3.2 - 3.6 mm]
pilot holes and then install the screws
The M660 Solar Marine Lantern is:
• Self-contained, high-performance and solar-powered
• Easy-to-install and low-maintenance with a long-life LED
• Available in red, green, white, yellow and blue
• Is suitable for a range of marking applications.
APPLICATIONS
The M660 can be used for:
• Marking marine aids-to-navigation (ATON)
• Private aid-to-navigation (PATON)
• Dock & marina light
• General purpose marking light
Year-round, unrestricted solar exposure is critical to long-
term performance. Shade dramatically reduces the ability
of the light to charge its battery.
The M660 can be mounted to a fl at surface or pole. Ensure
the correct mounting method is selected before lantern
installation.

OPERATION
In daylight, the solar panel charges the battery using the Energy Management System
(EMS). The capacity of the battery ensures that even with poor levels of sunlight over an
extended period, the lantern has enough reserve power to continue to perform reliably.
Stored battery energy then powers the LED during the night.
The change from night-to-day or day-to-night is called a transition. To avoid false
transitions and ensure stable operation, the transition time is 30 seconds. For example,
30 seconds of dark is needed for the lantern to switch to night operation.
To set the fl ash pattern, enter its fl ash code using the IR programmer or Bluetooth
control. Flash codes are listed in a table at the end of this document.

The M660 is confi gured using the IR programmer or Bluetooth Control App.
Contact your distributor for App access and registration details.
The lantern’s mating IR receiver is on an energy-saving sleep cycle.
Press and hold to awaken the IR
receiver and begin communication with the lantern:
The lantern is now ready to accept programming. Note that the lantern will quickly fl ash
after every key it receives. All programming codes follow the same sequence:
The number symbol # represents 0 - 9. Commands can be rejected if they are
unsupported, contain an incorrect key sequence, or have an eff ective intensity too high
for the programmed fl ash code.

SETTING THE INTENSITY
The M660 is programmed using Eff ective Intensity. Eff ective Intensity is the brightness
of a fl ashing light as perceived by the human eye (as opposed to Peak Intensity which
is the actual intensity of a light during a fl ash). Eff ective Intensity is calculated using the
following equation:
Eff ective Intensity (cd) =
Peak Intensity (cd) x Flash Duration (sec)
0.2 (sec) + Flash Duration (sec)
The M660 makes this calculation automatically based on your programmed fl ash code
and Eff ective Intensity selected. Note that for a fi xed/steady-burning light (code 001),
eff ective intensity equals peak intensity. The range of intensity codes are:
1
2
9
Product performance varies by installation location. Only use verifi ed
sustainable settings. Visit www.marine.sabik.com for details.
CAUTION
Example: Enter
for quick fl ash Q 1s 0.3, (fl ash code 129)
Example: Enter
for intensity of 5 eff ective cd
Nominal range of a lantern depends on its eff ective intensity and environmental condi-
tions. For details on how to calculate range, visit www.marine.sabik.com.
1. Ensure the fl ange mount is aligned correctly.
2. Attach the fl ange mount to the light unit using
the provided 3 screws (1). Do not over tighten.
3. For extra security use 3 more screws to attach
the fl ange mount to the light unit (2). Do not
over tighten.
To install the lantern:
Fix in place with 3x bolts, studs & nuts, nails or
screws. Recommended bolt size is 1/4-20 UNC or
M6.
BIRD DETERRENTS
Up to 3 bird deterrents can be installed:
1. Insert a mounting screw through the bird
deterrent
2. Install the screw. Do not over tighten.
3. Bend bird deterrent as needed
