1. ATION Year round unrestricted solar exposure is critical to long term performance Shade dramatically reduces the ability of the light to charge its battery The OL2A has changeable mounts Ensure either the 2 hole flange mount or pole mount is attached before lantern installation OPERATION In daylight the solar panel charges the battery using the Energy Management System EMS The capacity of the battery ensures that even with poor levels of sunlight over an extended period the lantern has enough reserve power to continue to perform reliably Stored battery energy then powers the LED during the night The change from night to day or day to night is called a transition To avoid false transitions and ensure stable operation the transition time is 2 minutes For example 2 minutes of dark is needed for the lantern to switch to night operation PROGRAMMING The OL2A is configured using the IR programmer The lantern s mating IR receiver is on an energy saving sleep cycle Press and hold for 2 seconds to awaken the IR receiver and begin communication with the lantern The lantern is now ready to accept programming Note that the lantern will quickly flash after every key it receives All programming codes follow the same sequence OOOHOO wr The number symbol represents 0 9 Commands can be rejected if they are unsupported contain an incorrect key sequence or have an effective intensity too high for the pro2. Effective Intensity is calcluated using the following equation Peak Intensity cd x Flash Duration sec Effective Intensity cd 0 2 sec Flash Duration sec The OL2A makes this calculation automatically based on your programmed flash code and Effective Intensity selected Note that for a fixed steady burning light code 001 effective intensity equals peak intensity The range of intensity codes are 600 0 1 0 4 effective cd 601 1 effective cd 602 2 effective cd 6 Maximum values vary by flash code and LED colour Example Enter OCCO for intensity of 5 effective cd Product performance varies by installation location Visit carmanah com for AN details TURNING ON OFF In on mode the OL2A LED turns on at night and off during the day In off mode the lantern charges in sunlight but the LED remains off When turned on again the lantern activates at its last programmed settings 1 minute preview for daytime activations Press and hold 4 seconds The lantern LED will fade on or off to confirm your aed setting change Option 1 Switched Models Set the switch to on or off position Option 2 IR Programmer OFF CHECKING BATTERY STATE OF CHARGE SOC Using the IR programmer enter or VOCO Charge battery Low battery a battery Ke SOC gt 75 SOC 30 75 SOC lt 30 LVD Active If the battery is lt 30 Low Voltage Disconnect LVD disables the LED attempts to charge the
