AV-OL-70 & AV-OL-70-HI
Solar Obstruction Light
Intensity/power settings on Avlite lanterns operate via DIP switches, located near the rotary switches on
the flasher unit. The intensity/power 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 less than 2.5-3.0 hours, please consider reducing the intensity
(Power) or reducing the Duty Cycle.
All lights have 2 rotary switches marked A and B on the flasher 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 flash code. A comprehensive list of available flash codes is listed
on pages in the
‘Flash Codes’
section of this manual.
