3–5NM+ Marine Lanterns
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 sky with no shadows.
Lantern Operation
Lantern is activated by connecting the battery terminals. Flash setting needs to be set prior to activation.
1. Remove the four socket-head screws on the top lens assembly and open.
2. Remove the bung in the base of the light head.
3. Adjust the Intensity setting using the DIP switches (detailed below)
4. Adjust the rotary switches (A and B) to desired flash setting (see ‘Selecting a Flash Code’ section of
this manual).
5. Replace the bung in the base of the light head.
6. Connect the 4-pin connector together to power up the unit.
7. The unit is now ready for normal operation, once placed in darkness.
8. Close the light head, and replace 4 socket head screws. Sealite, recommend that the Light Head
be tightened onto the Solar Chassis Base using a general purpose “Grip Tool”, similar in shape to a
Screwdriver, however with the appropriate Hex Key Head fitted. The torque setting applied to each of
the 4 Hex Bolts, be applied sufficient enough, to ensure that the Light Head base is secured firmly, but
not over tightened with excessive force.
To achieve a satisfactory seal, it is recommended that a torque of 3Nm is applied to the bolts used for
holding down the Light Head to the Solar Base and that only the supplied bolts are used.
Applying a higher Torque setting is not recommended and may void
warranty. If in doubt, please contact your local Sealite representative.
9. To test place dark cover (towel or jacket) on top of light to activate
sensor, light will come on within one minute.
10. Ensure that the unit is bolted to an even, flat surface.
