By choosing to purchase a Sealite lantern you have become the owner of one of the most advanced LED marine lanterns in the world.
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.
SLC300 Model The Sealite SLC300 compact 3nm solar marine lantern is completely self-contained, and specially designed for a range of low maintenance applications. The light boasts a large internal waterproof battery compartment, a 20 LED flasher unit, and 4 premium-grade solar modules mounted to collect sunlight at all angles. In particular, the SLC300’s 2-piece design allows the lantern to be opened for convenient battery inspection or replacement, while the base remains fixed to the supporting structure.
Rotary Switches A and B B A SLC400, SLC500 & SLC600 Models Sealite’s SLC400 (4nm), SLC500 (5nm) and SLC600 (6nm) solar marine lanterns are completely self-contained and require no operator intervention once installed. The user-friendly 2-piece design allows the lanterns to be opened for convenient battery inspection or replacement, after years of service, whilst the base remains fixed to the supporting structure.
SLC600 Installation of SLC400, SLC500 & SLC600 Models Before turning light on, intensity and flash settings must be set. Label “FRONT” indicates front of the lantern, where all operations must take place. 1. From the front of the lantern unscrew the four cap screws located at either side of the light-head and remove. 2. Remove bung from base of light-head. 3. The power and range settings of the lantern are adjust by setting the DIP switches.
Selecting an Intensity Setting Pulse 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% pulse will reduce the power consumption to 25% of the normal 100% setting and the range by 50%. This setting may be used to adjust to local sunlight conditions.
Maintenance and Servicing Designed to be almost maintenance-free, the SLC300, SLC400, SLC500 & SLC600 require 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.
