Thermal Protection
To protect the electronics and LED array the SH-1250 monitors the
internal temperature of the light and will shut the light down if this
temperature rises too high. When this happens the main LED array will
flash 3 times and turn off. The light can be restarted again when the
temperature drops.
This will not occur while diving as heat from the light is quickly
dissipated into the surrounding water. In air the SH-1250 can be run up
to 5 minutes on full power before the light will automatically shut down.
On the low power setting (30%) the light will run for extended periods
out of water with no problems.
Battery Low Lock
To prevent battery damage by over discharge the SH-1250 will
automatically turn the LED array off when the battery capacity falls to an
unacceptable level. If the selector ring is turned to either of the ON
positions in this state, the status indicator will flash Red.
The Battery Low Lock will be reset next time the light is charged.
Charging instructions
To charge your SH-1250
1. Rinse the SH-1250 in fresh water, dry and blow water out of
the two charging sockets at the back of the light. (fig 4)
Failure to clear water out of these sockets may result in
damage to the plugs or erratic charging.
2. Ensure the selector ring is in one of the off positions (red dot
on the selector ring does not align with the red dots on the
head)
3. Insert the charging plugs into the charging sockets. The red or
black plugs may go into either socket. (The plugs are
shrouded for safety – the shrouds will retract as the plugs are
pushed into the sockets)
4. Plug the power supply into the mains. The power supply is a
switched mode wall plug, which can be used on any mains
supply voltage.
5. The light will detect the supply of electricity and switch to
charge mode. The Status Indicator LED will light red to
indicate it is charging at full rate.
6. During the charge cycle the status indicator will turn orange
to indicate that it is topping off the charge.
When the status indicator turns green the battery has been
fully charged and is ready for use.
7. Unplug the power supply from the mains then unplug the
charging plugs from the back of the light.
