USER MANUAL

Regulatory Information

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s

authority to operate the equipment. Installation work must be done by a qualified person(s) in accordance with all

applicable local codes and standards.

Safety and Usage Precautions

The lantern's Battery Pack contains lead, lead compounds, and other compounds known to the State of

California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Please handle with care and wash your hands

thoroughly after handling the Battery Pack.

Charge your lantern's Battery Pack periodically. Permanent damage and reduced capacity will result if

the Battery Pack is not correctly maintained. Refer to Battery Charging on page 8 for details.

Lanterns that have been stored may require a top-up charge before they are put into service. The most

accurate Battery Pack status reading is obtained when the lantern has been in a dark location and in Off

mode for at least 24 hours.

1. Introduction

The OL2A solar hazard marker is:

•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

2-Hole Flange Mount

Pole Mount

Nominal range of a lantern depends on its effective intensity and environmental conditions. For details on how to

calculate range, contact your sales representative.

2. Applications

The OL2A is suitable for ground marking, way finding, perimeter marking and other applications where a hazard

marking light is required.

3. 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 OL2A has changeable mounts. Either ensure the 2-hole flange or pole mount is attached before lantern

installation.

OL2A

2. Install the screw. Do not over tighten!

3. Bend bird deterrent as needed

OL2A

USER MANUAL

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.

4. Operation

The solar panel charges the battery in daylight 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 darkness is needed for the lantern to switch to

night operation.

4.1 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:

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.

OL2A

USER MANUAL

4.2 Setting the Flash

To set the flash pattern, enter its flash code using the IR programmer. See the Flash Codes on page 13 for details.

Example: Enter

For quick flash Q 1s 0.3 (flash code 129)

4.3 Setting the Intensity

The OL2A 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 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 candela

601 1 effective candela

602 2 effective candela

6## Maximum values vary by flash code and LED color

Example: Enter

For intensity of 5 effective candela

Product performance varies by installation location. Contact your sales representative for further

details.

4.4 Turning On/Off

In “on” mode, the OL2A LED turns on at night and off during the day. The lantern charges in sunlight, but the LED

remains off when in “off” mode. When turned on again, the lantern activates at its last programmed settings (1

minute preview for daytime activations).

Option 1: Switched Models

Set the switch to on or off position

Option 2: IR Programmer

Point programmer at OL2A from a distance of one foot, press and hold for 4 seconds. The lantern LED will

brighten to on or fade to off to confirm your setting change.

OL2A

USER MANUAL

4.5 Checking Battery State of Charge (SOC)

Using the IR programmer, enter: or

Good Battery

SOC >70%

Charge Battery

SOC 14-70%

Low Battery

SOC ≤14%, LVD Active

If the battery is ≤14%, Low Voltage Disconnect (LVD) disables the LED and attempts to charge the battery to a

sustainable SOC. The LED is re-enabled once SOC is >75%.

4.6 Automatic Light Control (ALC)

During periods of sustained poor solar charging, Automatic Light Control (ALC) may decrease LED intensity based

on battery SOC and recent charging trends. When solar charging returns to a sustainable level, ALC increases

intensity back to the user setting. ALC may be disabled to keep the lantern at a constant intensity.

Enable ALC:

Disable ALC:

4.7 Battery Charging

The batteries are best charged inside the lantern. The OL2A can recharge 0 V or 0% SOC batteries back to 100%

SOC:

Summer sunlight 8-12 hours

Winter sunlight 18-36 hours

60 W incandescent lamp 15-36 hours

A commercial charger designed for 1.2 V AA batteries can also be used.

Do not use a battery charger with >370 mA charge rate. High charge rates will overheat the batteries

and cause internal damage.

Take care when charging using a lamp. Provide air circulation or a fan so that the lantern and batteries

do not exceed maximum temperature.

4.8 Battery Installation

The OL2A comes with 3x AA industrial-grade, high-temperature NiMH batteries. The OL2A will only operate with all

3x batteries installed correctly. The lantern remembers its settings even when the batteries are removed.

Other rechargeable AA NiMH batteries will not void your warranty. Shock, vibration, temperature and

optical performance may be limited.

OL2A

USER MANUAL

To install batteries:

1. Install batteries, noting their polarity.

2. Apply a thin coat of silicone lubricant to the large sealing o-ring.

3. Align top cover and assembly components; secure with the provided screws. Do not over tighten!

4.9 Storage

Turn the lantern off to store. In switched models, set the switch to the “off” position. To turn off using the IR

programmer, press and hold for 4 seconds.

If a lantern detects continuous darkness for 24 hours, like when it’s inside packaging for shipping or storage

purposes, it will disable the LED. Upon sensing light, it will enable the LED and continue normal operation.

Check the battery state of charge every 1-2 months and charge if required.

High-grade NiMH batteries shipped with the OL2A can be stored without any charging for up to 12 months

with no battery damage.
