Summary of Contents for Carmanah M860

  • Page 1 Carmanah M850 & M860 Self-Contained LED Lantern Instructions Carmanah M850 & M860 LED Lantern Instructions The Carmanah M850 and M860 lanterns are self-contained, omni-directional LED marine lanterns for use on lighted buoys and structures with a nominal range of 3 to 7 nautical miles.
  • Page 2 The lanterns are self-contained: the solar panels, battery, flasher, daylight control, and lantern assembly are all housed as a single unit. The M850 and M860 share the same LED optics but differ in battery and solar panel size (the “solar engine”). The M850 lantern contains the 60X battery (60 watt-hour) while the M860 contains the larger 200BC battery (200 watt-hour) along with larger solar panels resulting in a bigger solar engine.
  • Page 3 All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com v1.1 Jan 2016 Carmanah M850 & M860 Self-Contained LED Lantern Instructions Important Notes of Concern: 1. DO NOT store these self-contained LED lanterns in the box after delivery. These lanterns contain expensive lead-acid batteries that must be kept charged or else sulfation build-up on the lead plates will permanently damage the batteries and reduce their capacity.

  • Page 4: General Information

    There are no top-mounted solar panels. The optic head and battery packs are replaceable. The M850 is approximately 9” tall, 9-¼” wide at the base, and weighs approximately 10 lbs. The M860 is 13” tall, 9-¼” wide at the base, and weighs approximately 22 lbs.
  • Page 5 Default Settings. The M850 and M860 lanterns arrive from the factory with three default settings that should never be changed: (1) Automatic Light Control (ALC) must remain off, (2) the Calendar (CAL) must remain off, and (3) the lux transition levels must remain at d2n = 250L and n2d = 320L.
  • Page 6 You will then be able to select a lantern and effective intensity that will work for your aid. Always select the M850 lantern over the M860 if it provides an acceptable solution as it’ll save you about $300 dollars per lantern.
  • Page 7 StAt Battery Status: SoC (charge in percentage), voLt (in dc volts; bAtt M850 = 6.3 volts nominal, M860 = 8.4 volts nominal) Displays the three digit code for the flash characteristic. FLSh Displays the lantern’s Effective Intensity setting in candela (cd).

  • Page 9 (for Flash Character Menu). Press the Set Key to unlock the flash characteristic setting. Enter the selected three digit code for the characteristic with the numeric key pad. The codes are same for all Carmanah lanterns. Rhythm Code Q (0.3s flash, 0.7s eclipse) FL 2.5 (0.3) (0.3s fl, 2.2s ec)

Then, turn on the lantern by holding down the Power Key for a few seconds.
  • Page 11 It’s unlikely ATON units will ever have to change the LUX (Ambient Light Levels) on their M800 Carmanah lanterns. Ambient light levels are used to determine when the lantern will turn on at night or turn off during the day, depending on the amount of ambient light detected by the lantern’s internal daylight control sensor.
  • Page 12 When servicing or troubleshooting the M850 or M860 LED lantern, clean any dirt or guano from the lantern, paying close attention to the solar panels and the optic head/lens cover. Closely inspect the optic head and solar panels checking for any damage, cracks, or discoloring.
  • Page 13 Calendar: on, oFF When sending correction messages or reporting lantern problems, ensure that the lantern serial number (not battery tracking number) shown on the optic head is included in the message or email. This information is vital for reporting issues/problems to Carmanah.
  • Page 14 Both the M850 and M860 lanterns provide a wide range of intensities. However, the capabilities of the M860 lantern in the lower intensity settings are duplicated by the M850 lantern. Because of cost considerations, use the M860 only at aid locations where the required effective intensities and/or autonomy cannot be met with an M850 lantern.
  • Page 15 (the cooler, the better). Carmanah offers a three (3) year limited warranty: For the first year after purchase, Carmanah will, at their discretion, repair, replace, or provide a credit for a faulty lantern if failure is due to a defect in materials or workmanship.
  • Page 16 SILC Contracting by calling Carmanah and providing the order number and the additional payment. If you purchase this option, a battery charge port will be added to the bottom of the lantern’s base flange for charging the battery using an external 120VAC...
  • Page 17 3. Opening the Lantern. Use this method only as a last resort since it involves disturbing the factory seal. Any Carmanah self-contained lantern, with or without a charge port, can always be opened up and charged using the external 120VAC power-pack style battery charger ($56 option, p/n: 69885) connected directly to the battery board.
  • Page 18 Carmanah M850 & M860 Self-Contained LED Lantern Instructions Installation If District has determined that the Carmanah M850 or M860 satisfies effective intensity and autonomy requirements, then the lantern may be installed on either a steel buoy, a 5 X 9 foam buoy, or on a structure.
