  • Page 16: Operation Mode Tab

    Operation mode Tab Defines the lanterns mode of operation of which there are four possibilities: Operational Mode Standby The lantern is configured in a minimum current state in which the LEDs are always off and the internal GPS (if installed) is disabled. Always On The daylight sensor is disabled and the lantern operates according to the set flash character and intensity levels.

  • Page 17: Flash Code

    Sealite Code Selection This is an alternative method to select the lantern flash code by using either the Sealite IR remote control numerical figure or if known the Sealite rotary switch flash character. Refer to the IR remote control section for valid flash characters.

  • Page 18: Intensity

    Intensity Lantern intensity The lantern intensity level can be set by either by defining the operating range of the lantern (in nautical miles) or by entering a desired peak candela or a percentage of maximum peak intensity level. If Schmidt Clausen is applied is selected, the lantern will automatically adjust the intensity level based up on the entered range and flash character setting.

  • Page 19: Sensors

    When the “High” temperature threshold is exceeded for either board, any of the selected options will be acted upon. The enabled options will remain active until the board temperatures both reduce to below the “OK” threshold. Latest products and information available at www.sealite.com...
  • Page 20 LED Sensor Built into the SL-300 lantern, is a closed loop monitoring system for each LED within the lantern. In the event of a single LED failure, the lantern can be configured to trigger the internal alarm relay which in turn can be connected externally to trigger other devices, such as redundant light source.

  • Page 24: Flash Code

    Flash Code This key sets the flash code on the light. Example Key sequence: This sets the flash code to value 123. The light responds by flashing the flash code value. Flash Code Numbers The lamp flashes numbers as follows: Hundreds, Tens, Ones. A value of 125 will be flashed as: 1 flash, followed by a delay, 2 flashes, followed by a delay, 5 flashes.

    This sets the ambient light level to be lower than the default 100 lux. The light will turn on when its surroundings are darker. The light responds by acknowledgement with a long flash. Latest products and information available at www.sealite.com...

  • Page 26: Error / Acknowledge Indication

    Error / Acknowledge Indication If the key sequence is invalid, or an out of bounds value is attempted to be set, the light flashes 5 times for 1 second. (The command then needs to be sent from the start.) Example key sequence: (Set the intensity level to 5 – undefined.) The light flashes 5 times for 1 second.

  • Page 28: Lantern Status Chart

    LANTERN STATUS CHART There are two status LED’s located on the master circuit board. The RED status LED is used to indicate the health of the lantern’s power system, eg. battery voltage. The YELLOW status LED is used to indicate the operational status of the lantern, eg. GPS synchronisation. These indicator LEDs can be viewed through the side of the base of the lantern.

    MULTIPLIER (%) = Flash Character duty cycle (%) x Intensity level (%) (d) The SL-300 lanterns intensity setting are available in 32 steps from 0% to 100% with a step size of 3.125% (or 1/32%) Latest products and information available at www.sealite.com...

  • Page 30: Thermal Management

    Thermal Management The lanterns incorporate 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 31: Lantern Data

    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. Latest products and information available at www.sealite.com...

  • Page 32: Let's Try A Practical Example

    Let’s try a practical example Thermal cap example: Case 1: SL-300-2D5-1-W, White, 17NM, Flash Character Fl(3+1) 18s [1.5s on,1.5s off,1.5s on,1.5s off,1.5s on,4.5s off,1.5s on,4.5s off] 33.3% 1. Calculate the Flash Character Duty cycle (%) = (1.5+1.5+1.5+1.5)/(1.5+1.5+1.5+1.5+1.5+4.5+1.5+4.5)*100 = 33.3% 2. With a range of 17NM, use IALA E-200-2 and determine the Effective Intensity (cd) = 30,988cd 3.
  • Page 33 9. Using the Modified Allard method in reverse, the new Effective Intensity is = 22,554cd 10. Using IALA E-200-4, the new range is reduced to 15.3NM. (1.7NM less than desired range of 17MN) Latest products and information available at www.sealite.com...

  • Page 34: Power Supply Design Considerations

    As discussed in IALA Guide 1067-2, there are vast array of power sources that can be utilised for power lanterns. However the vast majority of customer power supplies comprise of either Photovoltaic Power or AC Utility and as such this bulletin will focus on these types and how they apply to Sealite SL-300 long range lanterns.

  • Page 35: Lantern Testing

    If the settings are incorrect, following the Programming Instructions of this manual to re-configure lantern characteristics, and then re-test prior to installation IMPORTANT: when lantern is being programmed using the Sealite PC Configuration Tool software, it is recommended that the operation setting is set to “Always On” for ease of testing/viewing new settings.
