SL07, SLC310 & SLC410
Compact 3-5nm+ Solar 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 25%. 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%.
