Deploying
After completing all the programming steps, the lanterns should be tested outside for 24 hours.
Then just prior to deployment, ensure one last time that the lanterns are fully charged to 100%
state-of-charge (recharge if necessary) and programmed to the correct flash rhythm
and
effective
intensity. Perform this final check by visually confirming the settings shown in the digital LED
display while scrolling through the summary information using either the tap-to-activate method
or the Information Key
on the IR programmer.
Mounting procedures are the same for all Carmanah lanterns. If using the bird deterrant wires,
place a small drop of Lock-Tite thread lock adhesive in each screw hole to ensure the bird
deterrents stay in place.
General Servicing and Maintenance
While self-contained LED lanterns do not require the intensive servicing that legacy lanterns
require, there are still actions that need to be accomplished. When servicing or troubleshooting
the M850 or M860 LED lantern, clean any dirt or guano from the lantern, paying close attention
to the solar panels and the optic head/lens cover. Closely inspect the optic head and solar panels
checking for any damage, cracks, or discoloring. More detailed information on installation and
servicing is presented in SECTION 5. Take the steps below and record the following
