MOUNTING AND ATTACHING FLASHES

Depending on which strobe system you are using, you can mount the necessary shoes or brackets or Base Ball onto the threaded holes on the top of the hand grips. Use of the Aquatica TLC Strobe Arm System is recommended.

There are also three 1/4”-20 threaded holes on the bottom of the housing that can be used for various mounting applica- tions. For example, A mounting tray can be fitted on the bottom of the housing. A 1/4”-20 threaded hole on top of the rear half of the housing will accept an Aquatica bracket or Base Ball that can hold a small dive light or a strobe arm.

Internal switch board circuit:

Your Aquatica 5D Mk II Pro Digital housing is supplied with two Nikonos type connectors which are in turn connected to a switch board circuit. Optional Ikelite bulkheads connectors are also available.

When preparing the sync cord be sure to lubricate the O-ring on the sync cord’s connector with a light coat of Aquatica O- ring lubricant, Also advisable is to put a light coat of O-ring lubricant on the threads of this connector.

Your Canon Digital camera design does not allow flashes to be connected directly to the camera and be used in eTTL in- less they are original Canon flashes in third party housing with the required connector and cords.

On your housing you will find two bulkhead connectors, the main and secondary connectors are wired through a switch board that will allow you to eventualy evolves as underwater strobes technology evolves. By default you housing is deliv- ered with the switch board set to full manual, if the eTTL exposure is desired then it can be made in either of two methods:

1)By using a single flash from Canon or other brand (that is eTTL compatible with your camera) in a underwater housing connected with a proper 6 pins TTL cord to a compatible 6 pins connectors on your Aquatica housing.

2)By using an external eTTL converter connected to a 6 pins connector on your Aquatica housing to which one or two underwater strobes with compatible TTL cords are then connected to this converter, (check strobe and converter manufacturer for compatibility).

Set up instruction for eTTL operation

Using the tip of a pen push the switches 1, 2, 3 & 4 to the ON (up) position, this will activate the connections on your main 6 pins bulkhead connector allowing eTTL communication between the camera and the housed flash or eTTL converter.

Set up instruction for manual operation

All switches must be in the OFF (lower) position, in this case all eTTL connections are disabled and only the ground and sync are left active, this will allow two underwater strobes or housed flashes to be connected directly via the main and secondary bulkhead.
