Entering the Deployment Location
As a Distributor, when you configure a customer’s
lantern, part of the information required is the
Deployment Location (where the lantern will actually
be located). This location is expressed in Latitude and
Longitude.
Knowing the Deployment Location allows the 650DM
to convey to the lantern how much solar exposure
(insolation) it can expect to receive, the lowest average
winter temperature for that location, and the shortest
length of day at that location. All of these factors play
a part in how much energy the lantern’s Battery Pack
can expect to receive to power the lantern in a reliable
manner.
To enter the Deployment Location:
1. Remove the lantern’s Bottom Cover and plug the
USB cable into the USB port.
2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to an
empty USB port on your computer.
3. Open 650DM on your computer. 650DM may take
a moment to find and connect to the lantern
4. Click
Configuration
on the Bottom Bar. The
Configuration
screen appears.
5. In the
Geography
area, enter the latitude and
longitude where the lantern will be deployed.
Alternatively, you can click
Map
and then select
the deployment location on the world map that
appears. After clicking the lantern’s deployment
location, click OK. The location you selected
appears in the
Latitude
and
Longitude
fields.
6. To set the
Atmospheric Transmissivity (AT)
, click
the
down arrow
and select the appropriate value.
NOTE
AT is a measure of how well light
transmits through the atmosphere.
The AT can be set to 0.85, 0.80, or
0.74. If it is unclear which value to
use, use the default value of 0.74..
