Page 49: Lantern Status
The yellow status LED is used to indicate the operational status of the lantern. These indicator LED’s can be viewed at the base of the lens. All Sealite boards are ﬁ tted with two Indicator LED’s. Use the table below to help determine operational status.
Page 50: Lantern Thermal Management
The Thermal Management system does so by multiplying the ﬂ ash character duty cycle with the lantern intensity and compares this ﬁ gure to the Thermal Limit. All the SL-C510 models have the same Thermal limits for all colours. If the ﬁ gure (called the “multiplier”) is greater than the Thermal Limit the intensity is then adjusted to ensure the Thermal Limit is not exceeded.
