If your housing is equipped with the optical flash
option, you will need to use the provided slim flash
trigger (#18958).
STEP 1:
Remove the battery tray (#2) from the
flash trigger (#1).
STEP 2:
Insert the provided CR 2016 coin cell
batteries (#3) inside the battery tray
(#2).
WARNING:
Only use 2 x CR 2016 coin cell batteries to power your flash trigger. Using other
types of batteries could cause damage to your flash trigger.
STEP 3:
Insert the battery tray (#2) inside the flash trigger (#1).
STEP 4:
On tray insertion, check battery level using the power LED (#4). If you see the red
LED flashing, replace your batteries with fresh ones.
STEP 5:
Insert your flash trigger in your camera hot shoe using the bottom mount.
STEP 6:
Remove the optical bulkheads (2) by simply pulling
them out of their sockets.
STEP 7:
Unscrew the #6-32 set screws from the optical
bulkheads and insert your strobe fiber optic cable
inside the bulkheads.
NOTE:
Some optical cables come equipped with an end fitting that fits directly on the
housing adapter plate. If that is the case with your cable, skip steps #7 & #8.
STEP 8:
Screw back the #6-32 set screws to secure the fiber optic cable inside the
bulkheads.
STEP 9:
Push the wired bulkheads inside their sockets on the housing adapter plate.
NOTE:
The slim flash trigger battery should be able to fire strobes at least 15,000+
times. However, some CR 2016 cells have a very limited shelf life, so make sure
to change your batteries if your flash trigger has not been used for a few
months.
WARNING:
If you are using
SEA & SEA YS-D2
strobes with your slim flash trigger, it is required
to use the SEA & SEA Fiber-Optic Cable II (using 613 fibers). Smaller optical fiber
cable will prevent the strobes from firing.
