enabled, but its voltage level is used as
a “Return to Normal” voltage. Factory
default is 11 VDC.
Low Voltage Cutoff and Alternate Code During Low Voltage:
Using SignalView (under Options), enable Alternate Code during Low Voltage
option.
Using SignalView (under Secondary Data), set Alt. Code Low Battery
Threshold to the minimum voltage required for the primary flash code (Factory
default is 11 VDC) and Low Battery Cutoff Threshold to the minimum voltage
required for system operation (factory default is 8.8 VDC.)
Sunswitch Level Configuration
Sunswitch day level and sunswitch night level can be set using SignalView. (See
Section 1.3 and the SignalView manual for more information on sunswitch operation.)
Seasonal Shutdown Configuration
Seasonal ON and OFF dates can be set using SignalView. When the optional Real
Time Clock circuit is installed, and seasonal shutdown is enabled, the internal clock
must be set to the current time. (See Section 1.3.2 Operation Modes and the
SignalView manual for information on Seasonal Shutdown operation.)
Configuration Switch Settings
These settings can only be made using the controller switches. The lantern housing
must be disassembled in order to make these changes (see Section 4.3
Disassembly/Reassembly).
S3-1 selects Sunswitch Type. Off or away from the center of the PCB is selected for
a 24K sunswitch; on or toward the PCB center for an 8K sunswitch.
S3-2 connects the RTC Battery to the clock circuit. The RTC lithium battery is used
for power when main power is disconnected from the MaxiHalo II controller.
Setting S3-3 on or toward the center of the PCB in conjunction with S4-8 on or toward
the center of the PCB configures the flasher for Pulse-SYNC Operation, compatible
with API Flashers.

LED Power Configuration
The Nova-65 SC is factory set for power at 5 watts to the LED array. Power to the
LEDs can be adjusted from 0 to 100% of full power, as needed for the installation.
Power adjustment trades off between effective intensity and power consumption.
Effective Intensity Tables can be found on our website at
www.tidelandsignal.com
. The
tables can be used to calculate effective intensity at any power setting (or power setting for
any effective intensity).
