Owner’s Manual | Model 502 1.0 Introduction Carmanah Model 502 lights are small, self-contained, and easy to operate. During daylight hours, the light is dormant and charges its battery from the available sunlight. At night, the light flashes according to a customer-specified flash pattern.
Owner’s Manual | Model 502 2.0 Infrared Programmer All functions of the Model 502 light are controlled by an infrared programmer. Carmanah currently supports both the original and the updated infrared programmers. The only differences between the two programmers are the faceplate and setting up the programmers; all other functionality remains the same.
Owner’s Manual | Model 502 3.0 Programming a Light You can customize the light settings using the programmer. Before programming the settings you must transition the light and enter the security code. You can then program the settings listed in Table 3-1: Programmable Settings.

When programming a Model 502 light, the key sequence on the programmer and the responding flash sequence from the light is always in the format shown in Figure 3-1 regardless of the settings being configured.
After the light is transitioned, you must enter the programming security code before you can make any changes to the Model 502 light’s settings. You must enter the security code every time the light is transitioned. The security code is 753.
Owner’s Manual | Model 502 3.5 Automatic Light Control The Automatic Light Control (ALC) function of the Model 502 light monitors the battery voltage and reduces the light’s intensity level if the light is not receiving sufficient solar charging to maintain the battery voltage.
Owner’s Manual | Model 502 4.0 Storing a Light You can store or ship a light by placing it in either storage mode or sleep mode. Store a light if it is not going to be used for an extended period of time or if is being shipped to an alternate location and you do not want it to turn on during transit.
Owner’s Manual | Model 502 5.0 Testing the Battery Storing a light in a low state of charge can damage the battery and cause it to lose its ability to hold a charge. To determine the state of charge of the batteries in a light, transition the light, if needed, and enter code 8 1 0;...
Owner’s Manual | Model 502 6.0 Recharging a Light If the light is in use and in a low battery state, displays a single quick flash once every minute to indicate that the light needs charging. The light cannot be programmed or transitioned until it is charged. The light must also be charged if it has a charge of 75% or less while in storage or sleep mode.
7.0 Appendices Appendix A: Original Infrared Programmer All functions of the Model 502 light are controlled by an infrared programmer. Carmanah currently supports both the original and the updated infrared programmers. The only differences between the two programmers are the faceplate and setting up the programmers; all other functionality remains the same.
It’s been raining a lot here. Will my light stop working? A Carmanah light is a solar light and it does require solar energy to work. However, it can run for 150 hours at full intensity, or 600 hours at low intensity without recharging.
Customer Service Before contacting Carmanah’s customer service department, please have the serial number of the Model 502 light available, a brief description of the problem, as well as all details of installation and recharging efforts. To contact Carmanah’s Customer Service Department:...
