Solar Marine Lanterns

Marine Characteristic Selection

The flash character is defined by first selecting the Mariner code, then the Flash code name and finally

timing.

Sealite Code Selection

This is an alternative method to define the lantern flash code by using either the Sealite IR remote

control numerical figure or if known the Sealite rotary switch flash character. Refer to the IR remote

control section for valid flash characters.

Sync Offset

This panel is used to set a fixed delay to the commencement of the flash character. The inbuilt

GPS receiver and advanced software of the Sealite synchronised lanterns allow for the adoption of

SeaFlare™ channel marking – a unique system that cascades the flash synchronisation of channel

lanterns in a uni- or bi-directional flash pattern. By default this figure is set to zero.

Manual Entry Custom Flash Character

In this panel one, custom flash characteristics can be defined with up to 10 individual on/off times.
