failure, high temperature). All alarm events are recorded irrespective of whether the lantern has been
configured to respond to an alarm.

Operation Mode Tab

Defines the lanterns mode of operation of which there are four possibilities:
Operational Mode
Standby
The lantern is configured in a minimum current state in which the LEDs are always off and the internal GPS (if
installed) is disabled.
Always On
The daylight sensor is disabled and the lantern operates according to the set flash character and intensity
levels.
Dusk till Dawn
The daylight sensor is monitored and the lantern will only operate at night time.
Day and Night
The daylight sensor is monitored and the lantern will operate according to the set flash character and intensity
levels for Day, Twilight and Night.

Adv Op Mode
This is an advanced user mode and typically only used if the lantern is to be used as a special navigational
aid such as emergency wreck mark.
All
Default on setting. All LEDs are operated in unison and configured by the Operation Mode, Flash Code and
Intensity Tabs.
Bank 1 (Visible)
One half (180deg) bank of LEDs are only enabled whilst the other half are disabled.
Bank 2 (IR)
One half (180deg) bank of LEDs are only enabled whilst the other half are disabled.
Alternating
Adjacent LED, alternate their on/off state based upon the intensity and flash character settings. For example,
ship wreck marks.
Top tier
Top tier of the lanterns is set to steady on. With the intensity levels selected to be set to either 25% or 50% of
the flashing intensity.
Reset
By clicking Reset, the factory et default parameters are restored.

Flash Code

Marine Characteristic Selection
The flash character is defined by first selecting the Mariner code, then the Flash code name and finally timing.
Sealite Code Selection
This is an alternative method to define the lantern flash code by using either the Sealite IR remote control
numerical figure or if known the Sealite rotary switch flash character. Refer to the IR remote control section for
valid flash characters.
Sync Offset
This panel is used to set a fixed delay to the commencement of the flash character. The built-in GPS receiver
and advanced software of the Sealite synchronised lanterns allow for the adoption of SeaFlare™ channel
marking – a unique system that cascades the flash synchronisation of channel lanterns in a uni- or bidirectional flash pattern. By default this figure is set to zero.
Manual Entry Custom Flash Character
In this panel one, custom flash characteristics can be defined with up to 10 individual on/off times.

Intensity

The lantern intensity level can be set by either by defining the operating range of the lantern (in nautical miles)
or by entering a desired peak candela or a percentage of maximum peak intensity level.
If Schmidt Clausen is applied is selected, the lantern will automatically adjust the intensity level based up on
the entered range and flash character setting. The intensity level is automatically each time a new range (NM)
or flash character is written to the lantern.
If an intensity level is selected that is beyond the specification of the lantern, the entered figure will be
displayed in in red coloured text, and the lantern will be configured to its maximum.
Note: The lanterns has been designed with a dynamic intensity limit. This limit will come into effect if you
select a flash characteristic with a heavy duty cycle (> 28.125%) and set a very high intensity.
Under these conditions the lantern will automatically reduce its intensity so that it is operating within the
thermal design window. Thus giving you years of operation without any noticeable degrade in light output.
This intensity limit will not be reached for the majority of applications.
The peak power limit for the SL-155-5D and Sl-155-10D lanterns has been set to 28.125%. There are 69 flash
codes in the base table of 256 that will have an intensity cap.
The peak power limit for the SL155-2 has been set to 34.375%. There are 51 flash codes in the base table of
256 that will have an intensity cap.

Sensors

Battery sensors
The SL-155 series of lantern continuously monitors its input voltage using three finable thresholds.
• For voltages greater than “OK” level, the lantern reports via IR Remote control requests or the GSM
that the input voltage is satisfactory.
• For voltages below “low” the lantern can be configured to operate the internal alarm relay and /or
reduce the intensity level by 25% as a measure to extend the operation of the lantern until it reaches
the “Fail” voltage.
• At “Fail” the lantern shuts down entirely, and turns of the GPS and the mains LEDs. The lantern will
only commence operation once the input voltage has exceeds the “OK” voltage level. The three
thresholds: Flat, Low and OK are user definable.
Temperature
The SL-155 utilises two temperature sensors. One on contact with the LED heat sink and second that
monitors the internal temperature within the lantern.
Each sensor has two user configurable boundaries. At the “low” boundary temperature point, the lantern
intensity is reduced by 25% to help reduce the heating of the housing. Reaching this point does not trigger the
alarm reply. The second boundary is “high”, where at which point, the lantern turns off and triggers the alarm
relay.

LED Sensor
Built into the SL-155 lantern, is a closed loop monitoring system for each LED within the lantern. In the event
of a single LED failure, the lantern can be configured to trigger the internal alarm relay which in turn can be
connected externally to trigger other devices, such a redundant light source.
Light Sensor
The SL-155 lantern has its own internal light sensor and whose day/twilight/twidark/night thresholds are
defined in LUX. These levels can be customised by entering in separate dusk and dawn values as a measure
of LUX.
If optioned, an external light sensor such as Light dependant resistor or photodiode can be electrically
connected to the SL-155.

AIS Report

Lantern Status
This panel displays the Lantern’s AIS message that is output via the serial communications port every
10seconds. Typically this message is processed by an externally installed AIS module, however by itself is a
quick summary of the lantern operating status. This detail is also displayed on the INFO tab.

IR Programmer
The IR programmer is used to communicate with Sealite lighting product that
have an IR sensor fitted. The remote control is used for the following
functions:
•
Flash Code: read the current flash code, configure a new flash
code.
•
Lamp Intensity: read the current lamp intensity, configure a new
intensity level.
•
Ambient Light Thresholds: read the current light thresholds,
configure new ambient light thresholds.
•
Perform a battery health check.
On receiving a valid key signal from the IR Programmer, the light will flash
once. The user should wait until the light responds to each keypress before
pressing another key. If there is no response to the keypress after 3 seconds,
it has not been detected by the light and the key can be pressed again. If an
invalid key is detected, the light will flash quickly 5 times. In this case, the
command will have to be restarted.

Sealite IR Programmer / Universal Remote Compatibility
If you lose your Sealite IR Programmer, the following Universal Remote Controller has been tested for
compatibility: RCA Type RCR312WR programmed for Phillips TV Type Code 10054

IR Programmer Functions

Test Mode / Configure

T/C
Pressing the T/C button for upto 5 seconds places the light in Test Mode. The light will flash once in
response to the T/C button being pressed and then turn off.
Normal Operation
The light will return to normal operation once it has not detected a valid key press for 30 seconds. The
light will flash once to indicate it is returning to normal operation.
Read
Pressing the Read followed by one of the configuration keys shall cause the light to flash the
configured value.
Example Key Sequences:
The light flashes the ‘IR Remote’ number belonging to the currently set Flash Code.
Refer to the Flash Code tables to match the ‘IR Remote’ flash number to the Flash
Code.
The light flashes the current intensity setting: 1 x Flash for each Nautical Mile.
Eg 8 x flashes = 8nm

The light flashes the current battery status.

The light flashes the sunset level in Lux, followed by a 2 second gap, followed by the
sunrise level. Levels are in the range of 1 to 5.

Flash Code

FC
This key sets the flash code on the light.
Example Key sequence:

This sets the flash code to value 123. The light responds by flashing the flash code value.
Flash Code Numbers
The lamp flashes numbers as follows: Hundreds, Tens, Ones. A value of 125 will be flashed as: 1 flash,
followed by a delay, 2 flashes, followed by a delay, 5 flashes.
The flash for number 0 is one long flash.
For example if the current Flash Code is set to 51 via the AB switches, the lamp will flash number 081. For a
flash code set to 01, the lamp will flash 001.

Intensity

This function sets the light intensity and is automatically calculated by user selecting the required operational
range of the lantern.

writes the range in nautical miles (0–9) where x represents the range

writes the range in nautical miles (0–32) where x represents the range
A range value from 6 to 13NM is valid however the maximum allowable range is dependent on the
lantern’s vertical divergence, LED colour and flash character.
Using the selected operational range and current flash character, the lantern uses the Schmidt-Clausen
Method, as described in IALA E200-4 to determine the peak intensity.
If the flash character is changed, the peak intensity is automatically adjusted.

Battery Status

This function reads the battery status. The response from the light is High Voltage: 4 flashes, Good Voltage: 3
flashes, Low Voltage 2 flashes, Cutoff Voltage or below: 1 flash.
Example Key sequence:

Lux

This key sets the ambient light threshold levels.
The format is

Where ‘x’ is the desired setting from the table below.
There are 5 programmable lux levels which are set together for the sunset and sunrise transitions.

Example key sequence:

Assume the current Lux settings are at the factory preset values of 2.
This sets the ambient light level to be lower than the default 100 lux. The light will turn on when its
surroundings are darker.
The light responds by acknowledgement with a long flash.

Error / Acknowledge Indication
If the key sequence is invalid, or an out of bounds value is attempted to be set, the light flashes 5
times for 1 second. (The command then needs to be sent from the start.)

The light flashes 5 times for 1 second.
When a key sequence has been entered successfully the light will respond acknowledgement with a
long 1 second flash.

Configuration Settings
The intensity and flash codes can be changed using the switches on the lamp circuit board or with the IR
Remote Control. The lamp intensity and flash code settings are set to the last detected change, carried out
with the IR Remote Control or by changing the switch positions.
Example #1: If the Intensity is set to 10nm via the PC Configuration Tool, and is then set to 8nm using the IR
Remote Control, the intensity setting will change to 8nm. It the intensity is then changed via the PC
Configuration Tool, eg 7nm, then the intensity will be set to 7nm.
Example #2: The flash code is set using the PC Configuration Tool to 0.5sec ON, 4.5sec OFF. After
disconnecting the PC Configuration Tool the operator then can change the flash code using the IR Remote to
any three number sequence as found in the manual appendix. The new flash code is now configured to the
selected flash code. Eg 163 (0.5sec ON, 0.5sec OFF).
Use the IR Remote to read the flash code and it will flash with the 3 number sequence that matches the flash
codes in the Appendix.

Operational Mode (Advanced users)
The lantern has three modes of operation: Always on, Standby Mode and Dusk-to-Dawn mode. These
modes can be selected either via the IR remote control or via the GSM module (if fitted).
In Always On mode, the daylight sensor is disabled and the lantern will remain ON.
In Standby mode, the lantern is turned off and the daylight sensor is disabled. This mode does not affect the
operation of the GSM module.
In Dusk-to-Dawn, the daylight sensor is enabled.

SL-155 Series Lantern

Power Consumption
Power Basics
(a)

Power is a measure of the rate in which electrical energy is transferred within an electrical circuit
and is measured in Watts (W). For DC (Direct Current) electrical circuits it is expressed as:
Power (Watts) = Voltage (Volts, V) x Current (Amps, A)
where volts & current are instantaneous values.

(b)

Peak Power is the maximum power rating of a Lantern. In an instant of time, this is the
maximum power the lantern will consume. It is determined when all a lantern’s features are
on and the LEDs intensity is at 100%.

(c)

Average Power is a measure of Power over a period of time. In raw terms, it expressed as
Average Power (Watts) = Peak power (Watts) x MULTIPLIER (%),
where the
MULTIPLIER (%) = Flash Character duty cycle (%) x Intensity level (%)

(d)

The SL-155 lanterns intensity setting are available in 32 steps from 0% to 100% with a step
size of 3.125% (or 1/32%)

Thermal Management
The lanterns incorporate a dynamic intensity module as part of the thermal management system that ensures
it operates within the thermal design window. In practice the thermal management system limits the lanterns
average power consumption by automatically adjusting the intensity to prevent overheating.
The Thermal Management system does so by multiplying the flash character duty cycle with the lantern
intensity and compares this figure to the Thermal Limit. If the figure (called the “multiplier”) is greater than the
Thermal Limit the intensity is then adjusted to ensure the Thermal Limit is not exceeded.
This Thermal Limit will come into effect if you select a flash characteristic with a heavy duty cycle and set a
very high intensity. Under these conditions the lantern will automatically reduce its intensity so that it is
operating within the thermal design window. Note, this intensity limit will not be reached for the vast majority of
applications.
The Thermal Limit for the SL-155-5D and SL-155-10D Series lanterns has been set to 28.125%. The
relationship between the Thermal Limit, Intensity and Flash Duty Cycle is illustrated in the
following graph:

Let’s Try a practical Example
Case 1:
SL-155-10D, White, 10NM, Flash Character Fl(3+1) 18s
[1.5s on,1.5s off,1.5s on,1.5s off,1.5s on,4.5s off,1.5s on,4.5s off] 33.3%
1.

Calculate the Flash Character Duty cycle (%)
= (1.5+1.5+1.5+1.5)/(1.5+1.5+1.5+1.5+1.5+4.5+1.5+4.5)*100 = 33.3%

With a range of 10NM, use IALA E-200-2 and determine the Effective Intensity (cd)
= 1,306cd

Using the Method of Modified Allard, determine the Peak Intensity (cd)
= 1,481cd

Calculate the desired Intensity step setting (0 to 32=100%) based upon the SL-155-10D-W
Maximum Peak Intensity (cd)
= 1481(cd) / 3078(cd) * 32(steps) = 15 (rounded up)

Calculate the MULTIPLER (%)
= 33.3% * (15/32*100%) = 16.67%

Compare this to the Max Power Thermal Limit for a SL-155-10D
= 28.125%
The MULTIPLER < 28.125% is within the Thermal Limit.

With an Intensity Step of 25, recalculate the range.
Peak Intensity = (15/32) * 3,078cd
= 1,539cd

Using the Modified Allard method in reverse, the new Effective Intensity is
= 1,358cd

Using IALA E-200-4, the new range is reduced to 10.0NM. (PASS)

Case 2:
SL-155-10D White, 10NM, Flash Character = Occ(3) 16s [2s on, 2s off,2s on,2s off,6s on,2s off]
1.

Calculate the Flash Character Duty cycle (%)
= (2+2+6)/(2+2+2+2+6+2)*100 = 62.5%

With a range of 10NM, use IALA E-200-2 and determine the Effective Intensity (cd)
= 1,306cd

Using the Method of Modified Allard, determine the Peak Intensity (cd)
= 1,436cd

Calculate the desired Intensity step setting (0 to 32=100%) based upon the SL-155-10D-W
Maximum Peak Intensity (cd)
= 1,436(cd) / 3,078(cd) * 32(steps) = 15 (rounded up)

Calculate the MULTIPLER (%)
= 62.5% * (15/32*100%) = 29.30%

Compare this to the Max Power Thermal Limit for a SL-155-10D-W
= 28.125%
The MULTIPLER > 28.125% and exceeds the Thermal Limit.
As such, go back to Step 5 and reduce the Intensity Step from 15 until the MULTIPLIER is
less than Max Power Thermal Limit.

In this example, an Intensity Step of 14, results in a MULTIPLIER of
= 62.5% * (14/32*100%) = 27.34%
Which is less than the Max Power Thermal Limit of 28.125%

With this reduced intensity step, recalculate the reduced range.
Peak Intensity = 27.34% * 3,078cd
= 1,347cd

Using the Modified Allard method in reverse, the new Effective Intensity is
= 1,224cd

10.

Using IALA E-200-4, the new range is reduced to 9.8NM. (0.2NM less than desired range
of 10MN)

Power Supply
Design Considerations
Long range lanterns are designed to operate over a wide operational voltage range and thus the average
power consumption will vary accordingly. The lanterns incorporate a dynamic intensity limit as part of the
thermal management system that ensures operates within the thermal design window. In practice the thermal
management cap limits a lanterns average power to a practical thermal limit of the lantern in order to prevent
overheating.
Power Supply Design Considerations
As discussed in IALA Guide 1067-2, there are vast array of power sources that can be utilised for power
lanterns. However the vast majority of customer power supplies comprise of either Photovoltaic Power or AC
Utility and as such this bulletin will focus on these types and how they apply to the Sealite SL-155 long range
lantern.
Contact Sealite for advice when designing your power supply.
(1)
PV Power Systems
These systems generally comprise of a 1 or more PV panels, a solar regulator and storage battery.
Batteries such as marine grade SLAs are very tolerant of fast switch high peak currents as they electrically
behave like a large smoothing capacitors. As detailed in IALA 1067 Solar sizing depends on a number of
factors. For Sealite lanterns, pay particular attention to average power consumption and power cable sizing.
(2)
Alternating Current (AC) Utility Power
In their simplest form, these systems comprise an AC/DC power supply convertor. Unlike PV Power Systems,
AC/DC Power Supplies are limited to their internal storage capacity and as such are not able to maintain
voltage regulation to fast switch currents.
As such a lantern’s peak current must be determined when selecting an AC/DC power supply. For Sealite’s
long range lanterns, the peak current can be determined by using the following
equation:
Peak current (A) = Peak Power (W))/(Supply Voltage (Vdc)
Using this method the peak current for the SL-155 Long range lanterns is:
SL-155 (2.5/5/10) : Peak Current (A) = 64 / 12 = 5.3A

As an AC/DC power supply has minimal storage capacity the selected power supply must be capable of
delivering a lantern’s peak current for all conditions. This is regardless of the lanterns set Flash Duty Cycle or
Intensity Settings. Other considerations such as de-rating the AC/DC power supply due to environment and
usage.

Lantern Testing

Now that the SL-155 has been programmed to suit the project requirements, it’s important that the
lantern is tested prior to installation, including flash code and intensity settings. To test the SL-155:
• Connect the SL-155 to a 12V power supply or battery
• For lanterns programmed to “Dusk to Dawn” operation setting, cover lantern with a dark cloth or jack
in darkness for more than 1 minute. After this time the lantern will activate
• Next, check that the lantern is flashing to the required flash code and intensity
• If the settings are correct, disconnect from the 12V power supply or battery
• If the settings are incorrect, following the Programming Instructions of this manual to re-configure
lantern characteristics, and then re-test prior to installation
•
MPORTANT: when lantern is being programmed using the Sealite PC Configuration Tool software, it is
recommended that the operation setting is set to “Always On” for ease of testing/viewing new settings. Once
the programming is complete, remember to change the operation mode back to your specific installation
requirement (Sealite recommend “Dusk to Dawn” mode).

Lantern Installation
The Sealite SL-155 may be installed with connection to mains power, or as a complete solar powered system
(available from Sealite).
IMPORTANT: the SL-155 must be installed appropriately where the lantern is not blocked by buildings,
trees or other shadows that may affect the visibility of the lantern or the ambient light.
Option 1: Installation of Lantern to Mains Power
To connect the SL-155 to a 12VDC power supply:
• Connect the blue negative wire of the lantern to the power supply negative terminal
• Connect the brown positive wire of the lantern to the power supply positive terminal
IMPORTANT: it is important that a 15Amp AC-DC power supply is connected between the mains power and
the lantern to maximise the life of your product. The AC-DC power supply should be no more that 20m from

• The length of post required is the sum of exposed length (normally 1.25m) plus the required depth
into the ground which is dependent on local soil conditions (recommended depth 850 minimum)
• The faces of the post must be aligned with the cardinal points of the compass. This will allow the
Solar panel to be aligned with the equator and sun
• The post should not be more than 20m from the lantern, and should not be located so as to place
• the solar panel in shade for a significant time
• The solar panel is tempered glass, so the post should be located away from any objects which might
fall on the installation
• The post and equipment footprint should be at least 300mm clear of any shading under all conditions

3.2 Connecting the Lantern

To connect the SL-155 to the solar powered system:
• Connect the blue negative wire of the lantern to the battery negative terminal
• Connect the brown positive wire of the lantern to the battery positive terminal
The lantern must to be connected to a 12VDC power supply.
Please ensure the solar panel array has been installed appropriately. To maximise solar collection,
the solar panel array should be installed facing the equator and in a location that ensures it will not
be shaded by buildings, trees or other structures. Solar panels will significantly reduce in
efficiency if a small shadow is positioned over the solar panel.
IMPORTANT: it is important to work with the team at Sealite when determining the quantity and
size of both batteries and solar panels for this lantern. Duty cycle, intensity and local solar
conditions are important factors to take into consideration when building a solar powered battery
supply.

Sealite solar marine lanterns will give years of trouble free service if installed correctly initially.
•
•
•

Please ensure all connections are tight
Please ensure that solar panels are always clean and free from bird droppings and shade and
that the solar array it pointed toward the sun to maximise solar collection
Please ensure that battery box covers are latched properly and that cages are
secured appropriately, to prevent theft and vandalism

Please contact your Sealite representative if you have any questions regarding the installation
and service of the lantern.

GPS Synchronisation
The lanterns are fitted with a GPS module, and provide the user with the ability to install independently
operating lanterns that all flash in synchronisation.
No additional power supplies, aerials or control systems are required, and with its microprocessor- based
system, the GPS option is specifically designed to provide maximum reliability and performance over a wide
range of environmental conditions.
Operating Principle
Each light operates independently and requires no operator intervention. A minimum of 4 satellites need to be
in view for the built-in GPS receiver to collect time data. At dusk, the light sensor will turn the light on. If time
data is available the light will come on synchronised to every other light with the same selected flash code.
Synchronisation is achieved using an internal algorithm based on the highly accurate time base and time data
received from the satellites. The satellite data is provided from a number of earth stations using atomic clocks
as the time base. Continuous self-checking ensures that the light will continue to run in synchronisation.
Light Activation
At power-up the microprocessor checks that the internal GPS module is programmed correctly and is able to
provide valid time base and time data.
Once outside with a clear view of the sky, valid data should become available within 20 minutes.
Daylight Operation
During daylight hours the microprocessor is in idle mode to reduce power consumption. Time data continues
to be updated once per second. The microprocessor will automatically exit the idle mode as soon as dark
conditions are detected.
Dark Operation
When dark conditions are detected the light:
• Checks for valid time data and is turned on after a delay based on the current time and the length
of the selected flash code;
• If valid time data is not detected the light will turn on after approximately 10 seconds. This light will
not be synchronised.
• If the light turns on unsynchronised it will continually check for valid time data. Once valid data is
found the light will automatically synchronise.
Note: Lights will not synchronise if different flash codes are selected.

AIS System
The Sl-155 AIS AtoN is a self contained device supporting both Type 1 (transmit only) and Type 3 (transmit
and receive) operation. It is designed for installation in exposed locations on physical AtoN structures. The
AIS AtoN can be supplied with an optional sensor interface platform which interfaces to sensors (such as
weather instruments) and transmits measured data via AIS messages to surrounding vessels and shore
stations.
The AIS AtoN module has an exceptionally low power consumption making it suitable for installation on
floating Aids to Navigation with solar charged power systems. The lowest power consumption is achieved
when operating as a Type 1 AIS AtoN transmitting only position information. Further description of Type 1 and
Type 3 operation is provided below.

Type 1 AIS AtoN
A Type 1 AIS AtoN is a transmit only device using the FATDMA (Fixed Access Time Division Multiple Access)
access scheme. This requires that the AIS AtoN is configured with fixed AIS time slots in which it will transmit
AIS messages. Mobile AIS stations operating in the area where a Type 1 AIS AtoN is installed need to be
aware of the time slots allocated to the AIS AtoN. The slots allocated to the AIS AtoN are 'reserved' by AIS
Base Station transmissions covering the area in which the AIS AtoN is installed.
This mode of operation therefore requires that an AIS base station is operating in the same area as the AIS
AtoN and is configured to make the necessary slot reservations.

Type 3 AIS AtoN
Type 3 AIS AtoN has transmit and receive capability and can therefore use either the FATDMA or RATDMA
(Random Access Time Division Multiple Access) access schemes. The RATDMA scheme allows the AIS
AtoN to internally allocate slots for transmission of AIS messages without reservation from an AIS Base
Station.
AIS receive capability also allows a Type 3 AIS AtoN to be configured and queried for status via AIS
messages sent from a shore station (known as VDL configuration). An extension of VDL configuration is
'Chaining' where configuration and query commands are passed along a 'chain' of AIS AtoN stations to a
distant station beyond the range of direct communication with a shore station.

GNSS systems
The AIS AtoN includes an internal GNSS receiver supporting the GPS system as standard.

The following sections describe the configuration options available and their effect on the behaviour of the
transceiver. Configuration of an AIS AtoN transceiver requires knowledge of the local AIS environment and
may require interaction with shore infrastructure. Familiarity with the current IALA guidelines on the use of AIS
Aids to Navigation (IALA A-126) is assumed.

Configuration of ‘Real’ AtoN parameters
The following parameters associated with the ‘real’ AIS AtoN transceiver should be configured via the ‘Real
AtoN’ tab:
● MMSI
The MMSI number associated with the ‘real’ AtoN. Typically the MMSI number for a ‘real’ AtoN station
follows the format 99MID1XXX where MID is the appropriate national MID and XXX is a number
unique to this station.
● Name
The name of the AtoN station as broadcast to other AIS users. Up to 34 characters are available for
the name.
● Type of AtoN
Select from a list of possible types of AtoN. The types are as defined by IALA in IALA A-126.
● Type of EPFS
Select the type of EPFS (Electronic Position Fixing System) used by the transceiver. Note this
selection does not affect the hardware configuration, only the contents of the ‘Type of EPFS’ field in
transmitted AtoN position reports. The transceiver is equipped with a GPS module by default.
Alternatively for a fixed or shore based transceiver a surveyed position type can be selected. Note
that when the surveyed position is selected the surveyed position is broadcast to other AIS users and
GNSS position information is ignored.
● Nominal position
Enter the nominal or charted position of the AtoN. This is the position transmitted to other AIS users
for a fixed AtoN when the ‘Surveyed’ EPFS type is selected. For all other configurations this position
is used to perform ‘off position’ calculations only; the actual GNSS position is broadcast to other
users.
• The application can average the current GNSS position over 5 minutes and use this value for the
nominal position. Click the ‘Get GNSS position’ button to the right of the latitude and longitude
fields to begin this process.
• The position accuracy can only be entered when the type of EPFS is set to ‘Surveyed’. The
accuracy should be set in accordance with the accuracy of the surveyed position.
● Off position alternate message enable
The current GNSS position is compared to the nominal position according to the algorithm defined in
IALA A-126 Annex A, Example 1. The off position threshold distance is specified in metres. If the
transceiver determines that it is ‘off position’ then the alternate reporting schedule for message #21
(index 2) is enabled. For example, the alternate reporting schedule could be configured to decrease
the reporting interval if the AtoN has drifted off position. The off position flag in message #21 is set
when off position regardless of this setting.
The transceiver off position algorithm is always operational and compares the current GPS position to the
nominal position of the transceiver.

•

MMSI for addressed messages
This is the destination MMSI used for all addressed message types generated by the transceiver. This
is usually the MMSI of a shore station collecting status information from the transceiver. It is also
possible to enable the acknowledgement of received binary messages (via message #7 or #13).

● Dimensions
The dimensions of the AtoN should be entered to the nearest metre. Guidance on the appropriate
configuration of dimensions for various types of AtoN can be found in IALA A-126.
● Radio channels
Selection of alternative radio channels for AIS transmission and reception is possible, however in
most cases the default channels (AIS1 and AIS2) should be used.
● Transmitter power level
The transmitter power level for the transceiver can be selected as 1W, 2W, 5W or 12.5W. The default
value of 12.5W is appropriate for most scenarios.

Message schedule configuration
The layout of the message schedule tab is illustrated below:

Default messages

An AIS AtoN position report is made using AIS message #21. This message occupies two AIS slots. The
default configuration shown in proAtoN includes two message #21 schedule configurations. The first
configuration, index 1, is the primary position reporting schedule for the transceiver. The second, index 2, is
the alternate position reporting schedule selected when the ‘off position’ monitor is enabled and the AtoN is
determined to be off position (see section 7.3.1). If the alternate ‘off position’ schedule is not required it can

be deactivated by selecting the associated row in the message schedule table and clicking the ‘Deactivate’
button. When deactivated the alternate schedule will be greyed out.

Adding additional messages to the schedule
Additional binary data messages can be added to the schedule table by selecting the required message type
from the drop down at the top of this tab, then clicking the ‘Add’ button. The available message types are:
•

Message #8 - for broadcast of binary data to all other stations in range. The binary data may be
provided by the extended sensor interface (if present) or third party equipment connected to the
transceiver. See section 8 for further information.

•

Message #6 - for transmission of binary data to an individual destination MMSI. The
destination MMSI is set on the ‘Real AtoN’ tab. The binary data may be provided by the
extended sensor interface (if present) or third party equipment connected to the transceiver.

•

Message #12 - for transmission of text messages to an individual destination MMSI. The
destination MMSI is set on the ‘Real AtoN’ tab. This schedule is used for transmission of alert
messages.

•

Message #14 - for broadcast of text messages to all other stations in range. This schedule is
used for transmission of alert messages.

Up to four separate schedules are available for each binary message type. Each individual schedule has an
index from 1 to 4 which is used to identify that schedule (for example, message #8 index 2).
Access scheme selection
The access scheme for each message must be selected as either FATDMA or RATDMA.
The selection is made by selecting the required row in the schedule table, then clicking on the current access
scheme in that row. A drop down menu will then appear in that location allowing selection of the required
access scheme.

FATDMA Schedule configuration
Using the FATDMA (Fixed Access TDMA) access scheme the actual slot for each transmission made by the
transceiver is specified. There are 2250 slots per minute (or frame) on each AIS channel. The scheduled slots
must be reserved for the transceiver by an AIS base station operating in the same area using AIS message
#20. Further information on FATDMA reservations and slot allocation schemes can be found in IALA A-124,
Appendix 14.
The parameters required for an FATDMA schedule are as follows.
Channel 1 start UTC
This is the hour and minute for transmission on channel 1. This specifies the AIS frame (minute) within a day
in which the start slot for channel 1 resides.
Channel 1 start slot
This is the slot number for the first transmission on channel 1. The slot number can range from -1
(transmission disabled on this channel) to 2249. Note that each message #21 transmission occupies two slots
and associated base station slot reservations must therefore reserve two slots.

Channel 1 interval
This is the interval in slots between transmissions on channel 1. The interval can range from 0 to 3240000
slots, which equates to an interval of one day. Typically, the interval is set to 13500 slots (6 minutes) on each
channel which results in an overall interval of 3 minutes.
Channel 2 start UTC
This is the hour and minute for transmission on channel 2. This specifies the AIS frame (minute) within a day
in which the start slot for channel 2 resides. Typically the channel 2 start time is offset by 3 minutes from the
start time used for channel 1. With a 6 minute reporting interval on each channel this results in a transmission
every 3 minutes on alternating channels.
Channel 2 start slot
This is the slot number for the first transmission on channel 2. The slot number can range from -1
(transmission disabled on this channel) to 2249. Note that each message #21 transmission occupies two slots
and associated base station slot reservations must therefore reserve two slots.
Channel 2 interval
This is the interval in slots between transmissions on channel 2. The interval can range from 0 to 3240000
slots, which equates to an interval of one day. Typically the interval is set to 13500 slots (6 minutes) on each
channel which results in an overall interval of 3 minutes.
Example FATDMA schedule
A typical transmission schedule requires that the AIS AtoN transceiver transmit AIS message #21 every three
minutes on alternating channels. The transmission schedule is presented diagrammatically in the following
figure:

.
This schedule can be configured using the following values:
•
•
•

Channel 1 start UTC = 00:00 (the first frame of every hour)
Channel 1 start slot = 0 (the first slot in the frame, so slots 0 and 1 are used by the message
#21 transmission)
Channel 1 interval = 13500 slots (this equates to a 6 minute interval as there are 2250 slots per
minute)

•
•
•

Channel 2 start UTC = 00:03 (the third frame of every hour)
Channel 2 start slot = 0 (the first slot in the frame, so slots 0 and 1 are used by the message
#21 transmission)
Channel 2 interval = 13500 slots (this equates to a 6 minute interval as there are 2250 slots per
minute)

The transceiver is now configured to report message #21 on channel 1 every 6th minute, and on channel 2
every 6th minute, but offset by three minutes from channel 1. This results in a transmission of message #21
every three minutes on alternating channels. The actual start slot selected for each channel will depend on the
FATDMA allocations in the area of operation.

RATDMA Schedule configuration
Using the RATDMA (Random Access TDMA) access scheme the time for each transmission made by the
transceiver is specified. The transceiver will determine the actual slots used for transmission based on internal
knowledge of the AIS environment gained from the AIS receivers.
The parameters required for an RATDMA schedule are as follows.
Channel 1 start UTC
This is the hour and minute of the frame in which transmission will occur on channel 1. The slot used within
this frame will be determined by the transceiver.
Channel 1 interval
This is the interval in minutes between transmissions on channel 1. A typical value is 6 minutes.
Channel 2 start UTC
This is the hour and minute of the frame in which transmission will occur on channel 2. The slot used within
this frame will be determined by the transceiver.
Channel 2 interval
This is the interval in minutes between transmissions on channel 1. A typical value is 6 minutes.
Example RATDMA schedule
A typical transmission schedule requires that the AIS AtoN transceiver transmit AIS message #21 every three
minutes on alternating channels. The transmission schedule is presented diagrammatically in the following
figure:

This schedule can be configured using the following values:
• Channel 1 start UTC = 00:00 (the first minute of every hour)
• Channel 1 interval = 6 minutes
• Channel 2 start UTC = 00:03 (the third minute of every hour)
• Channel 2 interval = 6 minutes

The transceiver is now configured to report message #21 on channel 1 every 6th minute, and on channel 2
every 6th minute, but offset by three minutes from channel 1. This results in a transmission of message #21
every three minutes on alternating channels. The exact timings of the transmissions within the selected
minute will vary as the transceiver selects available slots using RATDMA.

Virtual AtoN configuration
The transceiver can be configured to transmit position reports for up to five virtual or synthetic Aids to
Navigation. This configuration is carried out using the Virtual AtoN(s) tab in proAtoN. Within this tab there
are sub-tabs relating to each of the five virtual or synthetic AtoNs. The sub-tabs are visible at the left hand
edge of the window. The layout of the virtual AtoN configuration tab is provided in the following illustration:

Virtual / Synthetic AtoN
Each virtual AtoN required must be separately enabled by checking the ‘Enable’ checkbox. The type of virtual
AtoN can then be selected.
•

•

Virtual AtoN
A virtual AtoN is transmission of message #21 for an Aid to Navigation that does not physically exist.
A virtual AtoN may be used to mark a temporary hazard to navigation, e.g., a wreck. For further
information on the use of virtual AtoNs please refer to IALA A-126, IALA O-143 and IALA guideline
1081.
Synthetic AtoN
A synthetic AtoN is transmission of message #21 from an AIS station located remotely from the
physical Aid to Navigation. An example of use is to provide an AIS AtoN target for a buoy or mark
that is not capable of supporting AIS AtoN hardware.

Virtual / Synthetic AtoN Details
The basic configuration of a virtual or synthetic AtoN is comparable to that required for a ‘real’ AIS AtoN.
Note that the MMSI number format is different:
•

A virtual AtoN MMSI has the format 99MID6XXX, where MID is the appropriate national MID and
XXX is a number unique to this station.

The position of the virtual or synthetic AtoN must be configured appropriately to the position of the aid.
Note that a virtual AtoN has no dimensions whereas the dimensions of a synthetic AtoN should be
configured.

Virtual AtoN schedule
The transmission schedule for a virtual or synthetic AtoN must be configured in the same way as that for the
‘real’ AtoN. The TDMA access scheme, start times and intervals must be configured in the virtual AtoN tab.
When an FATDMA schedule is used it is important to ensure the slot allocations used for the virtual and real
AtoNs are different in every case. Also note that two consecutive slots are used for each virtual AtoN report.

Status input configuration tab
AIS AtoN position reports (message #21) contain status information encoded as a bit sequence. The status
bits contain the basic operational state of a connected light and RACON along with the overall health of the
transceiver itself. Connection of a light and/or RACON is optional and requires equipment with a suitable
health output.
CAUTION : Do not modify these setting as the lantern comes preconfigured for reporting Lantern status in
Message 21.

Alert messages
The transceiver can be configured to transmit text messages for three different alert conditions.
• An addressed or broadcast text message can be transmitted when the transceiver detects a Built In
Integrity Test (BIIT) failure.
• An addressed text message can be transmitted to an approaching vessel if the vessel comes within a
configurable distance of the transceivers location. This function is only available with Type 3 variants
and with full time receiver operation.
• An addressed or broadcast text message can be transmitted when the transceiver determines that it
is off position. This message is in addition to use of the alternate schedule for off position reporting
(if the alternate schedule is enabled) and does not replace that function. The layout of the alert
messages configuration tab is provided in
•
BIIT failure actions
This section allows configuration of the text message to be transmitted on detection of a Built In Integrity
Test failure (BIIT failure). Such a failure may indicate a problem with the transceiver and it may be prudent to
warn vessels not to rely on the information provided by the transceiver in this situation. Note that the health
of the transceiver is always transmitted as part of the standard Aids to Navigation position report (message
#21), however the status contained in that message may not be shown on all display systems. The available
actions on BIIT failure are:
•

•
•

No action - no message is transmitted on detection of a BIIT failure

Transmit message #14. A broadcast text message is transmitted on detection of a BIIT failure. The
text content of the message must be defined in the ‘Message text’ box.
Transmit message #12. An addressed text message is transmitted on detection of a BIIT
failure. The destination for the addressed message is configured on the ‘Real AtoN’ tab.

In addition to configuration of the BIIT failure action a schedule for the associated message must be
configured in the ‘Message schedule’ tab.
● Message #14 Index 1 must be configured if the message #14 action is selected.
● Message #12 Index 1 must be configured if the message #12 action is selected.

Vessel proximity alert
This section allows configuration of the text message to be transmitted on detection of vessel breaching a
defined radius (or guard ring) around the transceiver. This message can be used to warn approaching vessels
of potential collision with the AtoN. The addressed message is automatically sent to all vessels that breach
the guard ring radius.
The available vessel proximity alert actions are:
• Disable message #12 - the vessel proximity alert function is disabled
• Enable message #12 - the function is enabled and the text content of the message to be
transmitted must be defined in the ‘Message text’ box. The guard ring radius for the proximity
alert must also be configured in the ‘Radius’ box; note that the value is set in metres.
In addition to configuration of the vessel proximity alert a schedule for the associated message must be
configured in the ‘Message schedule’ tab.
•

Message #12 Index 2 must be configured if the message #12 action is selected.

Off position alert
This section allows configuration of the text message to be transmitted when the transceiver detects that it is
off position. The settings for off position detection are made on the ‘Real AtoN’ tab. The configuration of an
alternative off position message #21 reporting schedule is independent of the configuration of this text alert.
The available off position alert actions are:
•
•
•

Disabled - no text message is transmitted when the transceiver determines that it is off
position
Transmit message #14. A text message is broadcast when the transceiver detects that is off
position. The text content of the message must be defined in the ‘Message text’ box.
Transmit message #12. An addressed text message is transmitted on detection of an off
position condition. The destination for the addressed message is configured on the ‘Real
AtoN’ tab.

In addition to configuration of the off position alert a schedule for the associated message must be configured
in the ‘Message schedule’ tab.
• Message #14 index 2 must be configured if the message #14 action is selected
• Message #12 index 3 must be configured if the message #12 action is selected

SART Relay Mode
This control enables or disables the repeating of SART (Search and Rescue Transponder) messages
detected by the AIS AtoN. This functionality is only relevant to Type 3 devices as receivers are required to
detect the messages.

Transceiver diagnostics
The proAtoN application provides a number of features to assist with installation of an AIS AtoN and diagnosis
of fault conditions. These features are available through the GNSS, Serial Data and Diagnostics tabs in
proAtoN. Configuration using proAtoN

GNSS tab
The GNSS tab shows the status of the GNSS receiver built into the transceiver. This provides an indication of
the quality of the GNSS satellite signals being received along with the current position of the transceiver. At
least four satellites with a carrier to noise ratio in excess of 40 dB Hz are required for an acceptable position
fix. Relocating the transceiver or connecting an external GNSS antenna can help improve the signal quality
and resulting position accuracy.
The internal GNSS receiver supports SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation Service) to enable improved
accuracy and integrity of GNSS position fixes. The availability of SBAS depends on the installation location of
the transceiver (the WAAS SBAS service covers most of the US and the EGNOS service covers Europe).

Serial Data tab
The serial data page shows all data output from the transceiver in NMEA0183 / IEC61162-1 format. It is also
possible to send NMEA0183 / IEC61162-1 commands to transceiver if required for technical support or
custom configuration. A facility to record the data to a file is provided by clicking the ‘Log to File’ button.
Certain sentence types can be filtered out of the output window by checking the relevant sentence type in the
‘Filters’ section of this tab.

Diagnostics tab
The Diagnostics tab provides system version and status information. This information may be required when
requesting technical support for the product.

32.6V for correct operation. The supply voltage alarm will activate outside of this supply
voltage range.

Report generation
Clicking the ‘Generate’ button will produce full report of the transceiver status. This report may be requested
by technical support personnel. After clicking the button select a suitable file name and location for the report
file before clicking save.

Reported messages
During operation the transceiver will output a variety of status messages relating to the current operating
state. These messages are for information only and do not represent a fault condition.

Active alarms
The transceiver incorporates BIIT (Built In Integrity Test) routines which continuously monitor key operating
parameters. Should an integrity test fail the failure will be indicated in the active alarms area.

Maintenance & Servicing
Designed to be virtually maintenance-free, the SL-155 Series will require minimal attention.
However, the following maintenance and servicing information is provided to help ensure the life of your

The amount of power your lantern 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.
