Description of Device
The Model SLX and its variations is a SOLAS approved flashing lifejacket light that is
activated automatically when immersed in water and can be deactivated manually. Variations
of the SLX also offer manual activation or permanent deactivation. The SLX consists of a
battery and light encased in either one plastic housing (SLX), or a battery assembly and a
separate light assembly, connected by an electrical wire (SLX-II). See table 1 for options.

The battery consists of one Lithium Manganese Dioxide cell incorporated into a water-tight
sealed housing. The housing has two exposed water sensor contacts. The electronic circuit
detects water and activates the light. The design prevents inadvertent extinguishing of the
light if the water sensor is not continuously immersed in water. The housing also has a button
for the manual switching of the light.
The light is a LED covered by a polycarbonate cover.
Operating Instructions
The SLX is activated automatically following immersion of the
water sensor in fresh water or seawater. The SLX can be turned off
by pressing the button on the top of the housing. See figure 1.
•
In SLX versions that allow manual activation, this can be done
by repressing the same button.
•
In SLX (s) versions with permanent off, the SLX can be reset
for water activation by one long pressing of the same button.
