Effective Intensity Limit: This is the maximum Effective Intensity which can be
programmed without exceeding the available solar energy. This prevents the lantern from
being deployed at a setting which isn't sustainable. Factors that influence the Effective
Intensity Limit include: Flash Code, Day to Night and Night to Day Transition, Latitude and
Longitude, and Atmospheric Transmissivity. The Effective Intensity of a flashing light is
the intensity that a steady-on light must have to appear equivalently bright. It is calculated
using the method of Schmidt-Clausen, as per IALA E-122, Section 1.4.
The Peak Intensity and Effective Intensity values correspond to the
NOTE
intensity of the beam in the horizontal plane.
Set Device Time: Click this to synchronize the computer time with the lantern time.
Set Ship Mode On: Click this to put the lantern into Ship Mode (Set Ship Mode On), or
take the lantern out of Ship Mode (Set Ship Mode Off). For more information on Ship Mode,
refer to the Ship Mode section of this Appendix.
Send Settings to Device: This sends the settings currently shown in the Setting
Columns to the lantern. Note that this button becomes inactive when the values in the
Setting Columns would require more solar energy than is available at the programmed
location (Latitude and Longitude). When this occurs, red exclamation points highlight the
settings that are contributing to the energy deficit. If you put your mouse pointer over the
exclamation point, a message indicates the problem.
Get Settings from Device: Click this to retrieve the lantern's current settings and copy
them into the Setting column. Note that when the 650DM connects to a lantern, it does this
automatically.
Restore Defaults: This restores the settings that were last programmed at the Distributor
or Manufacturing Access Level. If the lantern's settings have only been changed at the
User Access Level, the settings return to what they were when you first received the
lantern.
