800 SERIES USER MANUAL
PROGRAMMING
Using the Infrared (IR)
Programmer
All functions of the 800 Series lantern are controlled
by the IR programmer.
Important User Notes
The IR programmer uses one CR2025
battery (shipped with unit). Remove
the battery tab from the back of the IR
programmer on first use.
Keep a minimum distance of 6” (15
cm) between the IR programmer and
the lantern.
The Lantern must be in “on” mode to
change settings using the IR
programmer. If a Lantern is in “off”
mode, you may review settings using
the
key, but you will not be able
to scroll through detailed information
or program the lantern.
The IR programmer includes the following keys:
The
power
key awakens the infrared
sensor inside the lantern and allows the
unit to accept programming commands.
To conserve power, the 800 Series
lantern searches for an Infrared signal on
a 0.5 second cycle. You may need to
press the power key multiple times to
establish a connection. Typically, three
steady button presses will be sufficient;
however, you may need to make more or
fewer connection attempts to coincide
with the lantern signal. The
lantern LEDs will flash to confirm that a
connection has been made. Once a
connection has been made, all IR
commands will be received and
confirmed with a flash. If no IR signals
are received within 60 seconds, the IR
receiver will switch back to power saving
mode.
The
information
key provides quick
access to Lantern Status, Battery State
of Charge & Battery Voltage, Lantern
Flash Character, Lantern Effective
Intensity, Automatic Light Control (ALC)
setting, and Calendar On/Off.
Use the
up/down arrow
keys to scroll
easily through the LED Display values.
The left/right arrow keys are used to
navigate away from a selected menu
item, or to move between digits when
programming a setting.
Use the
number
keys to directly enter
numeric values.
The
(A)
key allows jumps directly to the
Flash Character menu to view or edit
Flash Character settings.
The
(B)
key jumps directly to the Lantern
Effective Intensity menu to view or edit
Effective Intensity.
The
set
button unlocks and locks
settings. Press this button to change a
displayed value (editable settings only)
and to lock in an updated value. When a
new value is locked, the lantern LEDs
and the LED display will flash three times
to confirm that the new settings have
been registered and are active. If a value
is entered that is outside of the lantern’s
acceptable parameters then “Err” (error)
is displayed, the LEDs will flash two
times, and the lantern will revert to the
previous setting.
