3–5NM+ Marine Lanterns
Introduction
Congratulations! By choosing to purchase a Sealite lantern you have become the owner of
one of the most advanced LED marine lanterns in the world.
Sealite Pty Ltd has been manufacturing lanterns for over 25 years, and particular care has been taken to
ensure your lantern gives years of service.
As a commitment to producing the highest quality products for our customers, Sealite has been independently
certied as complying with the requirements of ISO9001:2008 quality management system.
Sealite lanterns comply with requirements of the US Coast Guard in 33 CFR part 66 for Private Aids To
Navigation.
By taking a few moments to browse through this booklet, you will become familiar with the versatility of your
lantern, and be able to maximise its operating function.
Operating Principle
The solar module of the lantern converts sunlight to an electrical current that is used to charge the battery. The
battery provides power to operate the lantern at night.
The asher unit has very low current requirements. A microprocessor drives an ultra bright LED through a
DC/DC converter, which enables the LED 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 begin ashing
to the set code
Technology
Sealite is the world’s fastest growing manufacturer of marine aids to navigation. We
employ leading mechanical, optical, hardware & software engineers to create innovative
products to service the needs of our customers worldwide, and offer the widest range of
solar-powered LED lanterns in the marketplace.
Electronics
Sealite employs leading in-house electronic engineers in the design and development of software and related
circuitry. All individual electronic components are sourced directly by Sealite procurement staff ensuring that
only the highest quality components are used in our products.
LED Technology
All marine lanterns 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 Sealite products are of a consistent & superior quality.
Optical Performance
Sealite manufactures a range of marine LED lenses moulded from multi-cavity dies. The company has
superior in-house lens manufacturing capabilities to support outstanding optical performance.
Award-winning, Patented Technology
Several United States and Australian patent registrations are held on Sealite’s range of innovative designs,
with other regional patents pending in Canada, United Kingdom and Europe.

Compact 3-5NM+ Solar Marine Lanterns
The robust design of this self-contained light ensures up to 12 years of reliable service with
minimal ongoing maintenance. Speci cally designed to survive the harshest environment the
SL-C310, SL-C410 and SL-C415 feature seven stage powder coated aluminium Top, Base and
Internal Aluminium Chassis. The corners are made from UV stabilised rubber.
All components are user-replaceable in the unlikely event of damage.
The high impact resistant polycarbonate lens ensures even light visibility.
The three and four hole bolt pattern will  t directly onto any 200mm OD mount.
The lanterns can be  tted with an optional external ON/OFF switch; this means the light can
be turned on once mounted in position, with the fl ick of a switch. It can also be  tted with an
optional external charging port for charging the battery while it is stored for extended periods.
The SL-C310. SL-C410 and SL-C415 models are  tted with a GPS unit to synchronise fl ashing
lights over any distance.
These models have an IR sensor which allows it to be operated via Sealite’s IR remote control.
All this is backed by Sealite’s industry leading 3-year warranty.

Charging the Battery
New lanterns should be left in the sun for 1-2 days to ensure battery is charged before placing in
service. Please note, lantern will re-charge even when toggle switch is turned to ‘OFF’ position.
Preferred Installation Location
For best lantern performance, ensure solar modules are not covered and are in clear view of
the sky with no shadows.
Lantern Operation
Lantern is activated by connecting the battery terminals. Flash setting needs to be set prior to activation.
1. Remove the four socket-head screws on the top lens assembly and open.
2. Remove the bung in the base of the light head.
3. Adjust the Intensity setting using the DIP switches (detailed below)
4. Adjust the rotary switches (A and B) to desired ash setting (see ‘Selecting a Flash Code’ section of
this manual).
5. Replace the bung in the base of the light head.
6. Connect the 4-pin connector together to power up the unit.
7. The unit is now ready for normal operation, once placed in darkness.
8. Close the light head, and replace 4 socket head screws. Sealite, recommend that the Light Head
be tightened onto the Solar Chassis Base using a general purpose “Grip Tool”, similar in shape to a
Screwdriver, however with the appropriate Hex Key Head tted. The torque setting applied to each of
the 4 Hex Bolts, be applied sufcient enough, to ensure that the Light Head base is secured rmly, but
not over tightened with excessive force.
To achieve a satisfactory seal, it is recommended that a torque of 3Nm is applied to the bolts used for
holding down the Light Head to the Solar Base and that only the supplied bolts are used.
Applying a higher Torque setting is not recommended and may void
warranty. If in doubt, please contact your local Sealite representative.
9. To test place dark cover (towel or jacket) on top of light to activate
sensor, light will come on within one minute.
10. Ensure that the unit is bolted to an even, at surface.
