800 SERIES USER MANUAL
PROGRAMMING
Programming the Lantern
Please thoroughly read these
instructions before proceeding with
the installation.
Preparing the Lantern for
Installation
The 800 Series lantern has been designed with a
simplified user experience in mind. Lights are ready
for use on shipment and do not have to be
“transitioned” from day to night before making
changes to settings.
Pre-Programmed Lanterns
If Carmanah or a Carmanah authorized distributor
has programmed the lantern prior to you receiving it,
it is ready to install. When the lantern is removed
from the box and exposed to light, it will begin
normal operation, activating with the next day-to-
night transition. Prior to field deployment,
verify that
the lantern’s pre-programmed settings
match
your requirements
using the top-mounted LED
display. Refer to the following section on “Viewing
Lantern Settings” for details. If you have been
supplied with an IR programmer, you may modify
lantern settings prior to installation if desired.
Non-Programmed Lanterns
If you have not requested a pre-programmed
lantern, you will need to verify the lantern settings
(intensity, flash pattern, calendar function & etc.) and
make any required modifications using a Carmanah
IR programmer. Refer to the following sections on
“Viewing Lantern Settings” and “Using the Infrared
(IR) Programmer” for details. If you require a
Carmanah IR programmer, please contact
Carmanah or your authorized distributor.
