SL60 2-3nm+ Solar Marine Light

Introduction

Congratulations! By choosing to purchase a Sealite lantern you have become the owner of

one of the most advanced LED marine lanterns in the world.

Sealite Pty Ltd has been manufacturing lanterns for over 25 years, and particular care has been taken to

ensure your lantern gives years of service.

As a commitment to producing the highest quality products for our customers, Sealite has been independently

certied as complying with the requirements of ISO9001:2008 quality management system.

Sealite lanterns comply with requirements of the US Coast Guard in 33 CFR part 66 for Private Aids To

Navigation.

By taking a few moments to browse through this booklet, you will become familiar with the versatility of your

lantern, and be able to maximise its operating function.

Please remember to complete the Sealite warranty registration card accompanying your lantern.

Operating Principle

The solar module of the lantern converts sunlight to an electrical current that is used to charge the battery. The

battery provides power to operate the lantern at night.

The asher unit has very low current requirements. A microprocessor drives an array of ultra bright LED’s

through a DC/DC converter, which enables the LED’s to operate within the manufacturer’s specications. The

battery is protected from over-charging within the circuit to ensure maximum battery life.

On darkness, the microprocessor will initiate a program check and after approximately 1 minute begin ashing

to the set code

Technology

Sealite is the world’s fastest growing manufacturer of marine aids to navigation. We

employ leading mechanical, optical, hardware & software engineers to create innovative

products to service the needs of our customers worldwide, and offer the widest range of

solar-powered LED lanterns in the marketplace.

Electronics

Sealite employs leading in-house electronic engineers in the design and development of software and related

circuitry. All individual electronic components are sourced directly by Sealite procurement staff ensuring that

only the highest quality components are used in our products.

LED Technology

All marine lanterns use the latest advancements in LED (Light Emitting Diode) technology as a light source.

The major advantage of LED’s over traditional light sources is well established in that they typically have an

operational life in excess of 100,000 hours, resulting in substantial savings to maintenance and servicing

costs.

Precision Construction

Commitment to investing in the design and construction of injection-moulded parts including optic lenses, light

bases and a range of other components ensures that all Sealite products are of a consistent & superior quality.

Optical Performance

Sealite manufactures a range of marine LED lenses moulded from multi-cavity dies. Complex shapes such as

the SL70, BargeSafe™ and 16-segment multi-focus lenses are a testament to the company’s superior

in-house lens manufacturing capabilities and outstanding optical performance.

Award-winning, Patented Technology

Several United States and Australian patent registrations are held on Sealite’s range of innovative designs,

with other regional patents pending in Canada, United Kingdom and Europe.

SL60 2-3nm+ Solar Marine Light

SL60 Model

The Sealite SL60 is the most popular and versatile 2-3nm+ solar marine light available. Made

from tough, durable polycarbonate and using the latest high-intensity LEDs, no expense has

been spared in the design and development of this lantern. Installation takes just minutes, and

a permanent ON/OFF switch allows for easy storage.

The unit is ideal for navigation, hazard lighting, aquaculture, perimeter lighting and a range of

other applications.

Charging the Battery

New lanterns should be left in the sun for 1-2 days to ensure battery is charged before placing

in service. Please note, lantern will re-charge even when toggle switch is turned to ‘OFF’

position.

Preferred Installation Location

For best lantern performance, ensure solar modules are not covered and are in clear view

of the sun with no shadows.

Lantern Operation

Lantern is activated by ON/OFF Switch. Intensity and ash settings need to be set prior to activation.

1. Remove the marked ash adjustment bung from the base of the lantern and set internal toggle

switch to ‘ON’.

2. The power and range settings of the lantern are adjusted by setting the DIP switches inside the

lantern. Your lantern is normally set to maximum range (see ‘Selecting an Intensity/Power Setting’

section of this manual).

3. Set rotary switches to the required ash code (see ‘Selecting a Flash Code’ section of this

manual).

4. Replace ash adjustment bung.

5. A sealed vent on the base allows air transfer without moisture intake, and should not be disturbed.

6. To test place dark cover (towel or jacket) on top of light to activate sensor, light will come on.

7. Ensure that the unit is bolted to an even, at surface.

SL60 2-3nm+ Solar Marine Light

Intensity/power settings on Sealite lanterns operate via DIP switches, located near the rotary switches

on the asher unit. The pulse settings may be used to reduce the power consumption and intensity

of the lantern. Setting the lantern to 25% intensity will reduce the power consumption to 25% of the

normal 100% setting and the range by 25%. This setting may be used to adjust the current draw of the

light to local sunlight conditions.

The following diagrams indicate intensity/power settings:-

Power Consumption Calculator

If the number of Full Sunlight hours is greater than 2.5-3.0 hours, please consider reducing the

intensity (Power) or reducing the Duty Cycle.

All lanterns have 2 rotary switches marked A and B on the asher unit. Turning the small arrows to the

appropriate number or letter will set the code (see ‘Flash Codes’ section, of this manual). The unit may

take up to one minute to activate a new ash code. A comprehensive list of available ash codes is

listed on pages in the ‘Flash Codes’ section of this manual.

Flash Codes

The Sealite SL60 may be set to any of 256 IALA recommended ash settings which are user-adjustable

onsite without the need for external devices.

SEALITE® code reference is listed by number of ashes

Symbols

FL Flash followed by number Eg. FL 1 S, one ash every second

F Fixed

Q Quick ash

VQ Very quick ash

OC Occulting; greater period on than off

ISO Isophase; equal period on and off

LFL Long ash long

MO Morse code ( ) contains letter

For example, VQ (6) + LFL 10 S means 6 very quick ashes followed by a long ash, during a

10-second interval.

The amount of power your lantern draws through the night depends on the duty cycle, i.e. the amount of

time on as a proportion to the timing cycle. For example, 0.5 seconds on and 4.5 seconds off equals a

10% duty cycle.

It is best to operate at the lowest duty cycle appropriate to the actual needs of the application.
