AV23 Solar Obstruction Light
Pulse settings on Avlite lights operate via DIP switches, located near the rotary switches on the flasher
unit. The pulse settings may be used to reduce the power consumption and intensity of the light.
Setting the light to 25% pulse will reduce the power consumption to 25% of the normal 100% setting
and the range by 50%. This setting may be used to adjust to local sunlight conditions.
The following diagrams indicate pulse settings:-

If the number of Full Sunlight hours is greater than 3-3.5 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.
