M660 USER MANUAL INTRODUCTION The M660 Solar Hazard Marker is:
Self-contained, high-performance solar-powered Easy-to-install and low-maintenance with a long-life LED Available in red, green, white, yellow and blue Is suitable for a range of hazard marking applications. 3-HOLE FLANGE MOUNT To attach the 3-hole flange mount 3-Hole Flange Mount Pole Mount
(1) Nominal range of a lantern depends on its effective intensity and environmental condi-
tions. For details on how to calculate range, see www.carmanah.com. 1. Ensure the flange mount is aligned correctly. 2. Attach the flange mount to the light unit using the provided 3 screws (1). Do not over tighten!
3. For extra security use 3 more screws to attach the flange mount to the light unit (2). Do not over tighten!

(1) To install the lantern:
Fix in place with 3x bolts, studs & nuts, nails or screws. Recommended bolt size is 1/4-20 UNC or M6. APPLICATIONS The M660 can be used for:
Marking marine aids-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 M660 can be mounted to a flat surface or pole. Ensure the correct mounting method is selected before lantern installation. X 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. SETTING THE FLASH To set the flash pattern, enter its flash code using the IR programmer or Bluetooth control. Flash codes are listed in a table at the end of this document. Example: Enter 1 2 9 for quick flash Q 1s 0.3, (flash code 129) 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 M660 is configured using the IR programmer or Bluetooth control App. The lanterns 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:
# # #
3 quick flashes Command accepted 2 slow flashes Command rejected 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. SETTING THE INTENSITY The M660 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 calculated using the following equation:
Effective Intensity (cd) =
Peak Intensity (cd) x Flash Duration (sec) 0.2 (sec) + Flash Duration (sec) The M660 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:
0.1 - 0.4 effective cd 1 effective cd 2 effective cd Maximum values vary by flash code and LED colour 600 601 602
... 6##
Example: Enter 6 0 5 for intensity of 5 effective cd Product performance varies by installation location. Visit carmanah.com for details. POLE MOUNT 1. Remove flange mount 2. Slide the lantern 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 BIRD DETERRENTS Up to 3 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 OPERATION X660 XXX SW carmanah.com

When turned on again, the lantern activates at its last programmed settings. Option 1: Switched Models Set the switch to on or off position Option 2 : IR Programmer Press LED will fade on or off to confirm your setting change.
