Symptom: Settings cannot be changed.
Is the lantern in the off mode (
StAt oFF
)? Press and hold the power button for
approximately 5 seconds until
Stat on
is displayed.
Is the remote connecting properly to the lantern? See previous trouble Symptom.
Symptom: Lantern does not flash the programmed flash characteristic.
The battery state-of-charge is unacceptably low. The lantern may be in LVD mode. If the
lantern was sized and programmed properly (to the correct flash characteristic AND light
intensity setting) then it should maintain a high state-of-charge. Confirm proper solar sizing
using the M800-series Sizing Program. Recharge the lantern and confirm proper
programming.
Look for other reasons the system did not maintain a satisfactory state-of-charge. Are the
solar panels covered with dirt or guano? Is the lantern shaded? Is the DLC properly turning
off the lantern during daylight?
How old is the battery? Is it past the recharge interval shown in the “Battery Service Life”
section? If the battery is past its recharge interval, replace the battery.
If all items above check out, contact the ATON/MER Asset Line.
Symptom: Lantern reported discrepant.
Check the battery’s state-of-charge. If state-of-charge is less than 60% then proceed through
the steps in the troubleshooting section immediately above.
If battery state-of-charge is 60% or greater, then reprogram the lantern and charge it back to
100% SoC. Ensure that the lantern responds properly to programming instructions.
When lantern flashes, confirm that all five LEDs are operating (check the LEDs by looking
around the lantern just above the lantern’s focal plane; do not look directly into the lantern
with your eye in the focal plane).
If the lantern does not perform as it should, and the problem is not attributable to physical
damage, Carmanah will replace the lantern under warranty – free of charge – within the first
three years of purchase if problem is not related to the battery. If battery-related, Carmanah
will replace the battery within the first year of purchase only. Contact Carmanah’s Customer
Service department before returning a lantern or seeking a warranty claim.
Symptom: Tap-to-activate not working.
Tap quickly and firmly on left shoulder or directly on the optic head.
Confirm that the tap-to-activate feature is turned on (
tAP
is
on
).
Symptom: Err message on display.
Invalid IR programmer entry attempt.
Use the M800-series solar sizing/selection program to ensure you are using an acceptable
flash characteristic and/or effective intensity setting.
