Problem
Remedy
Lantern will not activate.
• Ensure internal toggle switch is set to the ‘ON position.
• Ensure lantern is in darkness.
• Wait at least 60 seconds for the program to initialise in darkness.
• Ensure battery terminals are properly connected.
• Ensure battery voltage is above 3.6volts.
Flash codes will not change.
• This is a Radio Controlled light and any command must be sent from the
Controller.
Lantern will not operate for the
entire night.
• Expose lantern to direct sunlight and monitor operation for several days.
Sealite products typically require 1.5 hours of direct sunlight per day to
retain full autonomy. From a discharged state, the lantern may require
several days of operational conditions to ‘cycle’ up to full autonomy.
• Reducing the light output intensity or duty cycle (flash code) will reduce
current draw on the battery.
• Ensure solar module is clean and not covered by shading during the day.
Lanterns are constantly on
during the day.
• Ensure the Rotary Switches are not set to F F. This flash code is for
testing purposes only and will be steady on for 24 hours a day.
• Ensure the lights are not set to “Always ON” through the Radio
Controller. Set this to Dusk till Dawn for operation during night time only.
Lanterns are not
synchronizing together.
• The lanterns will take up to 5 minutes to synchronize with the
surrounding lanterns.
• If you have a large number of lanterns, they may start ‘syncing’ in
groups. It may up to take 20 minutes for all lights to achieve full
synchronization. This is dependent on the distance between the entire
set of lanterns, the closer the lanterns, the quicker full synchronization
will occur.
• Ensure every light is set to the same flash code. Lanterns will only
synchronize to lanterns using the same flash code.
• Ensure the line of sight between 2 lanterns is clear of any obstruction.
Trees, buildings, other structures or vessels will affect the lanterns ability
to synchronize.
• Ensure the lanterns are no more than 1.4km apart over water.
