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. Lanterns 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 Sabik Marine or an 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 Sabik
Marine IR programmer. Refer to the following
sections on
“Viewing Lantern Settings” and “Using
the Infrared (IR) Programmer
” for details. If you
require a Sabik Marine IR programmer, please
contact Sabik Marine or your authorized distributor.
