Table of Contents Introduction 2 Operating Principle 3 Technology 3 SLC310 4 Maintenance & Servicing 8 Flash Codes 9 Troubleshooting 15 Sealite Lantern Warranty 16 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 20 years, and particular care has been taken to ensure your lantern gives years of service.
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.
SLC310 Model The Sealite SLC310 compact 3nm solar marine lantern is completely self-contained, and specifically designed for a range of low maintenance applications. The light boasts a large internal battery compartment, a 20 LED flasher unit, and 4 premium-grade solar modules mounted to collect sunlight at all angles. The battery and driving circuitry is conveniently accessed from the top of the lantern assembly – allowing for easy battery replacement at any stage of the products life. Fig 1.
Installation of SLC310 Model Lantern is activated by connecting the battery terminals. Flash setting needs to be set prior to activation.
