The clear housing permits instant visual inspection of the camera and all sealing surfaces as well as complete monitoring of controls and camera LCD screens.
Ikelite Digital Housings are slightly negative in salt water for stability. This housing has been water pressure tested at the factory. Housing is pressure tested to 200’ (60m).
Lubricants
1. Ikelite provides silicone lubricant with the housing. We recommend you use only Ikelite lubricant on Ikelite products as some other brands may cause the o’ring to swell and not seal properly.
2. Use only enough lubricant to lightly cover control shafts and o’rings. Wipe off any excess lubricant with a clean cloth. Lubricant is not a sealant, it is used to reduce friction. Excessive lubricant can collect sand and dirt which may interfere with proper sealing.
CAUTION
Never use spray lubricants as the propellant ingredient can cause the plastic housing to crack.
Opening the Housing 1. Lid Snaps have a Lock.
To open, push Lid Snap Lock forward and lift as shown. Keep pressure on the Lid
Snap so it does not fly open quickly.
Some lid snaps have a lot of
spring tension once they go over center, have a firm grip on the lid snap. Lid Snaps may be opened one at a time.
