POLE MOUNT

Install the Pole Mount

1. Apply a thin coating of

silicone lubricant to the pole-

mount o-ring

2. Use the alignment keys to

align the top cover and pole

mount.

3. Attach the mount to the top

cover using the provided 6

Up to 6 bird deterrents can be installed:

1. Insert a mounting screw through the bird deterrent

2. Install the screw. Do not over tighten!

3. Bend bird deterrent as needed

To install the lantern:

1. If required, insert the reducing sleeve into the pole

mount. Note that it aligns only one way.

2. Slide the lantern and sleeve over the pole; press down

to ensure lantern is well seated.

3. Secure with the provided 3 screws; if required, drill

1/8 - 9/64 in. [3.2 - 3.6 mm] pilot holes and then install

the screws.

M550

INTRODUCTION

The M550 Solar Marine Lantern is:

USER MANUAL

• Self-contained and solar-powered

• Easy-to-install and low-maintenance with a long-life LED

• Available in red, green, white, yellow and blue

• Easy-to-maintain with replaceable AA NiMH batteries

Nominal range of a lantern depends on its effective intensity and environmental condi-

tions. For details on how to calculate range, see www.carmanahmarine.com.

APPLICATIONS

The M550 can be used for:

• 1-3 NM marine aid-to-navigation (ATON)

• Private aid-to-navigation (PATON)

• Dock & marina light

• General purpose marking light

INSTALLATION

Year-round, unrestricted solar exposure is critical to long-

term performance. Shade dramatically reduces the ability

of the light to charge its battery.

The M550 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

Alignment Keys

The M550 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:

# #

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 programmed flash code.

2-HOLE FLANGE MOUNT

To attach the 2-hole flange mount

1. Use the alignment keys to

align the top cover and flange

mount. Press together.

2. Attach the mount to the top

cover using the provided 3 screws

(

). Do not over tighten!

3. Apply a thin coat of silicone

lubricant to the bottom cover o-ring.

4. Align the bottom cover and press

into the top cover. It only fits one way.

5. Secure the bottom cover with the

provided 3 screws (

) . Do not over tighten!

Up to 4 bird deterrents can be installed:

1. Insert the provided screw through the bird deterrent

2. Drive the screw into one of the 4 small holes on the

top of the mount. Do not over tighten!

3. Bend the bird deterrent as required.

To install the lantern:

Fix in place with 2x bolts, studs & nuts, nails or screws.

Recommended bolt size is 1/4-20 UNC or M6.

SETTING THE FLASH

To set the flash pattern, enter its flash code using the IR programmer. Flash codes are

listed in a table at the end of this document.

1 2

for quick flash Q 1s 0.3, (flash code 129)

Example: Enter

SETTING THE INTENSITY

The M550 is programmed using Effective Intensity. Effective Intensity is the brightness

of a flashing light as perceived by the human eye (as opposed to Peak Intensity which

is the actual intensity of a light during a flash). 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 M550 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

6 0

Example: Enter

for intensity of 5 effective cd

Product performance varies by installation location. Go to carmanahmarine.com/

selector to determine the recommended intensity for your location.
