E.g 9th of December is represented by the number sequence 0912.
Page 39 SL-510-SA 5-9NM Stand-Alone Marine Lantern Read Hibernation By pressing the following key sequence the lantern will respond with status of Hibernation Mode. Where: • A single long flash = Hibernation Mode is Enabled • Two quick flashes = Hibernation Mode is Disabled. User Case Example: Configuring the lantern for Hibernation In this example, we want the lantern to hibernate each year from Dec 10th, through to February 15th, and the lantern is located inside a storage warehouse.
Page 40 IR Controller Security PIN The IR Controller allows to create a four-digit numbers security access PIN, this will prevent accessing or modifying the SL-510-SA settings. Once the Security PIN is set this it will lock the lantern immediately. In order to access the light settings, the Unlock PIN command needs to be used, this will allow access to the light settings for 30 minutes then the light will re-lock again.

Page 44: Lantern Status
Lantern Status Two status LED’s on the main printed circuit board provide the operator with an indication of the lantern status. There is one red and one yellow status LED. The red status LED is used to indicate the health of the lantern’s power system. The yellow status LED is used to indicate the operational status of the lantern.
Page 45: Lantern Thermal Management
SL-510-SA 5-9NM Stand-Alone Marine Lantern Lantern Thermal Management The lantern incorporates a dynamic intensity module as part of the thermal management system that ensures it operates within the thermal design window. In practice the thermal management system limits the lanterns average power consumption by automatically adjusting the intensity to prevent overheating.
Page 46: Thermal Limit Operation
Thermal Limit Operation Automatically the lantern calculates the MULTIPLIER and compares it to the maximum power Thermal Limit. If the calculated value exceeds maximum power thermal limit, then the intensity is reduced to the highest intensity step to ensure that it is not exceeded. a) Power is a measure of the rate in which electrical energy is transferred within an electrical circuit and is measured in Watts (W).
