Operation

The SOLUS SH-1250 is a handheld dive light designed to deliver
extremely high performance in a compact package. The SH-1250 has a
number of functions, which are accessed by the rotating selector ring

(figure 1)

For simplicity we have broken these down into two levels (Basic and
Advanced Functions).

Basic functions

The selector ring can rotate through 360 around the main body of the
light. Within one rotation there are four detent positions at 90 spacings.
Two of these positions are marked with a red dot on the head of the light,

one large and one small. (fig 1)

FULL POWER When the red dot on the selector ring is aligned with the large

red dot on the head, the light will switch on at full power
(100%)
Burn time on this setting is 75 minutes.

LOW POWER When the red dot on the selector ring is aligned with the

small red dot on the head the light will switch on in low power
mode (30%)
Burn time on this setting is 240 minutes.

OFF Rotating the selector ring to either of the unmarked positions

will switch the light off. (There will be a short delay before the
light turns off)

BATTERY Turn the selector ring to the FULL POWER position for a

minimum of 10 seconds and then turn off. The status
indicator LED (fig 3) in the centre of the main LED array will
indicate the battery condition

Advanced functions

While the basic functions are enough for many divers, the SH-1250 has
several advanced functions that provide added usability and safety
features.

60% POWER When set to full power (100%) you can step the light level

down to 60% by quickly rotating the selector ring towards off
and back to the large dot.
Burn time on this setting is approximately 120 minutes.
Repeating this will step the light level back to 100%

10% POWER When set to low power (30%) you can step the light level

down to 10% by quickly rotating the selector ring towards off
and back to the small dot.
Burn time on this setting is approximately 12 hours.
Repeating this will step the light level back to 30%

STROBE The STROBE mode provides a means to mark your position or

draw attention to yourself. To access the STROBE mode,
rotate the selector ring back and forth over the low power
position eight times. When the light begins to flash, leave the
selector ring in the low power position.
Burn time on this setting is approximately 24 hours.
The STROBE may continue to flash for a few seconds after the
selector ring is turned to the OFF position.

SOS BEACON The SOS BEACON flashes out an internationally recognised

Morse emergency signal
To access the SOS BEACON mode, rotate the selector ring
back and forth over the high power position eight times.
When the light begins to flash, leave the selector ring in the
high power position.
Please use the SOS BEACON function responsibly and keep in
mind that at night the beacon can be seen from many
kilometres away.
Burn time on this setting is approximately 24 hours.
The SOS BEACON may continue to flash for a few seconds
after the selector ring is turned to the OFF position.

TRAVEL LOCK Engage the TRAVEL LOCK to prevent accidental operation

during transport.
To access the TRAVEL LOCK rotate the selector ring
continuously around the light body for five full rotations in
either direction and leave in the off position.
The status indicator(fig 3) will cycle through a repeating
green-amber-red cycle for up to 12 seconds and then stop.
In this mode, when the selector ring is switched to either on
position the main LEDs will not light (the status LED will
repeat the TRAVEL LOCK code).
To disengage the TRAVEL LOCK rotate the selector ring
continuously around the light body for five full rotations in
either direction and leave in the on position. The mains LEDs
will light.
