  • Page 16: Flash Code

    The flash character is defined by first selecting the Mariner code, then the Flash code name and finally timing. Sealite Code Selection This is an alternative method to define the lantern flash code by using the Sealite IR remote control numerical figure character. Refer to the IR remote control section for valid flash characters. Sync Offset This panel is used to set a fixed delay to the commencement of the flash character.

  • Page 17: Intensity

    This intensity limit will not be reached for the majority of applications. The peak power limit for the SL-155-5D and SL-155-10D lanterns has been set to 28.125%. There are 69 flash codes in the base table of 256 that will have an intensity cap.

    Let’s try a practical example Case 1: SL-155-10D, White, 10NM, 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 10NM, use IALA E-200-2 and determine the Effective Intensity (cd) = 1,306cd 3.
