LED Buoy Light E821                                                

We regret to inform you that this product is DISCONTINUED; please find our current products here
 

The smart buoy light E821 is a local control system of a buoy consisting of one or two  LED-based  light sources,  a built-in solid state flasher, a GPS receiver, and a GSM communication controller. The light can be integrated into a remote control and monitoring system for use in marine buoys, pier lights, or on various moving vessels. The E821 lights are currently available in one of five colours: red, green, white, yellow, or blue.

The assembly consists of  a light unit with a shock proof acryllic lens for the focussing of the light beam, and of marine grade aluminium enclosure  with a flange for mounting of  the light, and cable plugs. The flanges are available in two versions making the lights usable in different buoys (see Specifications).  The GPS and GSM antennas are located on the top of the light. In order to protect the lights against mechanical shocks and harsh environmental conditions the lights should be installed under a polycarbonate cupola.

Features


  • the solid state flasher of the systemis built using a programmable microcontroller performing the control of flashing of the light in accordance with the pre-configured light patterns, and  daylight switching ON and OFF of flashing by the  light sensor
  • communication with the remote control and monitoring system (centre) via public switched or GSM900 mobile telephone network. Exchange of  SMS messages with the centre
  • setting of the time schedule of communications and responding to  the inquiries
  • remote configuration by the commands of the centre
  • protection against  unauthorized  inquiries and commands
  • correction  of  the  built-in clock  based  on  the  GPS signals
  • checking the correspondence of the geographical coordinates of the light to the pre-configured  values and sending warning messages to the center in case of  unacceptable deviation
  • programmable scheduling of mobile phone standby mode in order to save energy
