Installing the Camera

 

 

 

 

 

 

Remove the back from the housing. The mounting tray for the

camera is secured to the housing back. Position the camera and

lens on the tray, and

 

 

 

 

 

 

then secure it with the

NOTE: Conversion Circuitry Strobe ID Switch is located on bottom of camera tray.

Setting the Conversion Circuitry Strobe ID Switch. On the bottom of the camera tray is a switch for setting the DS Substrobe ID. Set the switch to the Model of DS Substrobe being used.

• When using dual strobes of different models such as a DS51 and a DS125, set the ID switch to

DS51 or the smaller strobe.

Closing the Housing

1. Place housing face down in your lap.

2. Check to see that there is an o’ ring on the housing back that is clean

and in its proper location.

3. Guide the back onto the housing.

The o’ring should touch the housing all the way around. There should be an even gap all the way around between the housing and the housing back.

4. Lift the lid snaps so they are extended and place the lid snap into the corresponding hook on the housing back.

5. To close the housing, push down on the lid snaps until

they snap into place . Lid snaps on opposite sides of

the housing should be closed at the same time. Be sure they are down far enough to engage the lid-snap lock.

Double check - Once the housing is closed, check the o’ring seal. Check the gap between the housing back and the housing, it should be even all the way around.

Look through the clear plastic back at the o’ring. You should see a darkened area where the o’ring is compressed against the housing back. If you do not see an even black compression seal all the way around the back, open the lid snaps, reseat the housing back, and then close the lid snaps. Visually check the seal again.

Flash Connection for External Strobes

When using an external strobe, connect the housing hotshoe

connector. Slide the connector into the hotshoe mount on the

camera from the back of the camera as shown. Slide the

Caution:

Do not remove the External Strobe Connector’s waterproof cap unless an external sync cord is going to be plugged in. Do not remove waterproof cap or sync cord underwater.

Installing Camera in Housing

Before installing the camera, pull out on the controls in the front section of the housing. This will allow the camera to slide in more easily. Once the camera is installed and the lid snaps have been closed, return the controls to their operating position.
