Operating Principle
The solar module of the light converts sunlight to an electrical current that is used to charge the
battery. The battery provides power to operate the light at night.
The asher unit has very low current requirements. A microprocessor drives an array of ultra bright
LED’s through a DC/DC converter, which enables the LED’s to operate within the manufacturer’s
specications. The battery is protected from over-charging within the circuit to ensure maximum
battery life.
On darkness, the microprocessor will initiate a program check and after approximately 1 minute will
turn on.

All aviation lights use the latest advancements in LED (Light Emitting Diode) technology as a light
source. The major advantage of LED’s over traditional light sources is well established in that they
typically have an operational life in excess of 100,000 hours, resulting in substantial savings to
maintenance and servicing costs.
Precision Construction
Commitment to investing in the design and construction of injection-moulded parts including optic
lenses, light bases and a range of other components ensures that all Avlite products are of a
consistent and superior quality.
Optical Performance

Charging the Battery
New lights should be left in the sun for 1-2 days to ensure battery is charged before placing in
service. Please note, light will re-charge even when toggle switch is turned to ‘OFF’ position.
Preferred Installation Location
For best light performance, ensure solar modules are not covered and are in clear view of the
sky with no shadows.
Light Operation
Light is activated by ON/OFF Switch. Intensity and ash settings need to be set prior to activation.
1. Remove the marked ash adjustment bung from the base of the light and set internal toggle switch
to ‘ON’.
2. The power and range settings of the light are adjusted by setting the DIP switches inside the light.
Your light is normally set to maximum range (see ‘Selecting an Intensity/Power Setting’ section of
this manual).
3. Set rotary switches to the required ash code (see ‘Selecting a Flash Code’ section of this
manual).
4. Replace ash adjustment bung.
5. A sealed vent on the base allows air transfer without moisture intake, and should not be disturbed.
6. To test place dark cover (towel or jacket) on top of light to activate sensor, light will come on within
one minute.
7. Ensure that the unit is bolted to an even, at surface.

Solar Aviation Light
Intensity/power settings on Avlite lanterns operate via DIP switches, located near the rotary switches
on the asher unit. The intensity/power settings may be used to reduce the power consumption and
intensity of the lantern. Setting the lantern to 25% intensity will reduce the power consumption to 25%
of the normal 100% setting and the range by 25%. This setting may be used to adjust the current draw
of the light to local sunlight conditions.
The following diagrams indicate intensity/power settings:-
Power Consumption Calculator
If the number of Full Sunlight hours is greater than 2.5-3 hours, please consider reducing the intensity
(Power) or reducing the Duty Cycle.
All lights have 2 rotary switches marked A and B on the asher unit. Turning the small arrows to the
appropriate number or letter will set the code (see ‘Flash Codes’ section, of this manual). The unit may
take up to one minute to activate a new ash code. A comprehensive list of available ash codes is
listed on pages in the ‘Flash Codes’ section of this manual.

Flash Codes
AVLITE® code reference is listed by number of ashes
For the latest version of this document visit www.avlite.com,
or email [email protected]
Symbols
FL Flash followed by number Eg. FL 1 S, one ash every second
F Fixed
Q Quick ash
VQ Very quick ash
OC Occulting; greater period on than off
ISO Isophase; equal period on and off
LFL Long ash long
MO Morse code ( ) contains letter
For example, VQ (6) + LFL 10 S means 6 very quick ashes followed by a long ash, during a
10-second interval.
The amount of power your light draws through the night depends on the duty cycle, i.e. the amount of
time on as a proportion to the timing cycle. For example, 0.5 seconds on and 4.5 seconds off equals a
10% duty cycle.
It is best to operate at the lowest duty cycle appropriate to the actual needs of the application.
Please note, Avlite models will retain full autonomy in normal operating conditions with duty-cycles up to
approximately 30%. In applications whereby duty cycles exceed this limit, a reduction in light intensity is
recommended. Please contact a Avlite consultant if assistance is required.

AV60
Solar Aviation Light
Maintenance and Servicing
Designed to be maintenance free, the AV60 requires minimal attention, though the following
maintenance and servicing information is provided to help ensure the life of your Avlite product.
1. Cleaning Solar Panels - occasional cleaning of the solar panels may be required. Using a cloth and
warm soapy water, wipe off any foreign matter before rinsing the panels with fresh water.
2. Battery Check - inspection of batteries should be performed every three years (minimum) to ensure
that the charger, battery and ancillary electronics are functioning correctly. Using a voltage meter,
check that the battery voltage is at least 3.6 volts under 100mA load, and ensure all terminals are
clear of foreign matter.
Replacing the battery- Don’t throw the unit out!!
The AV60 lights are the only compact aviation light with a double sealed battery compartment. This
provides the user with the ability to change the battery after years of operation.
1. Remove the marked ash adjustment bung from the base of the light and set internal toggle switch
to ‘OFF’.
2. Unscrew small screws to remove battery plate.
3. Remove battery from AV60 case and unscrew positive and negative leads.
4. Discard old battery in a safe manner.
5. Reattach positive and negative leads to new battery and then place back into case.
6. Reattach battery plate and switch light ‘ON’ via internal switch. Close the bung.
7. To test place dark cover (towel or jacket) on top of light to activate sensor, light will come on within
one minute.
Care must be taken to observe the polarity of the battery before the leads are re-connected, and
ensure the replacement battery is correctly tted. Always discard old batteries in a safe manner.
Long Term Storage Instructions
If the AV60 is to be placed in storage for an extended period, being more than 5 months, please follow
the below steps.
1. The 3.6V NiMH Battery must be stored in a fully charged condition.
2. Remove the Flash Adjustment plug and turn the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
3. Remove the battery cover and disconnect the Positive (+) Terminal.
4. Fold the Terminal away from the Negative Battery Terminal.
5. Replace the Battery Cover
6. Replace the Flash Adjustment Plug.
All batteries will discharge over time and the rate of discharge is dependent on temperature. If the light is
being stored in temperatures greater than 40°C the battery will discharge faster.
Please check battery every 3-6 months and recharge if necessary.
Recharging the Battery
1. Remove the Battery Cover and connect the Positive Terminal.
2. Remove the Flash Adjustment Plug and turn the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
3. Reconnect the battery and place unit in the sun for 2-4 days
Or
Reconnect battery and place in front of a halogen lamp for 2-3 days. (Do not place the halogen light too
close to the solar panel or the panel may be overheated)
Check the battery voltage regularly to make sure the unit is charging correctly.
After the battery has been recharged, switch the light OFF.

Trouble Shooting
Problem Remedy
Light will not activate. • Ensure internal toggle switch is set to the ‘ON position.
• Ensure light is in darkness.
• Wait at least 60 seconds for the program to initialise in darkness.
• Ensure switch setting is on a valid code (See Flash Codes section of this
manual).
• Ensure battery terminals are properly connected.
• Ensure battery voltage is above 3.6volts.
Timing codes will not change. • Turn rotary switches several times to ensure contacts are clear.
Light will not operate for the
entire night.
• Expose light to direct sunlight and monitor operation for several days.
Avlite products typically require 1.5 hours of direct sunlight per day to
retain full autonomy. From a discharged state, the light may require
several days of operational conditions to ‘cycle’ up to full autonomy.
• Reducing the light output intensity or duty cycle (ash code) will reduce
current draw on the battery.
• Ensure solar module is clean and not covered by shading during the day.
Light is constantly on during
the day.
• Ensure the ash code is not set to F F. This ash code is for testing
purposes only and will be steady on for 24 hours a day.
