New Automatic Solid-State

Flasher Detailed In Free

Tideland Signal Bulletin

An automatic solid state flasher with a six-place lampchanger which can be operated independently or synchronized with other units for use in marine lanterns is de- scribed in a new product bulletin from Tideland Signal Corporation,

Houston, Texas.

The TF-3B "Syncrostat" flasher/ lampchanger, 6 or 12-volt dc, in- cludes a fail-safe sunswitch that assures continued light operation even if the sunswitch itself fails. It relamps after each lamp burn-out and turns power circuits off after usage of all six lamps.

Replaceable plug-in circuit cards minimize field repair problems and require minimal spare parts for the unit which can be used with most marine signal lanterns, in- cluding Tideland's ML-300 and

ML-155 "MaxLumina" lanterns.

Tideland was the first to design a flasher/lampchanger that allowed lights to operate in a synchronized arrangement instead of traditional "master/slave" relationship.

For literature that more fully describes Tideland's series of flasher/lampchangers,
