.
3. Clean and lightly lubricate the threads and o-ring on the male Ikelite
connector. Use ONLY Ikelite lube. Other brand lubricants can cause the
o-ring to swell and not seat properly. Check o-ring for cracks or nicks.
4 Note the positioning of the receptacles and pins. Properly align the
Ikelite Connector and insert it into the housing’s Ikelite-style bulkhead;
hand-tighten Knurled Ring.
5. Connect your Ikelite Sync Cord to the Adapter Bulkhead. Hand tighten the
Knurled Ring on the Sync Cord until there is no in-out movement
between the Ikelite Sync Cord Connector and Adapter bulkhead.
Hold the adapter’s knurled ring when tightening the sync cord.
CAUTION: Do not use tools on, or over-tighten Knurled Rings.
Single or Dual Ikelite sync cords can be attached.
Dual strobe use requires dual sync cord.
Two strobes cannot be operated by independent adapters.
