Important Notices

 

»

The DL2 DS Link is not compatible with other 
manufacturers’ strobes.

 

»

Use of two strobes requires a dual sync cord. Two 
strobes cannot be controlled by individual converters 
even if the housing is equipped with two bulkheads.

Installation and Use

Installing the B1A Bulkhead

1.  

Carefully remove the accessory port plug using an 11/16” 

wrench.

2.  

Remove the nut from the end of the bulkhead with 

the cord coming out. Check that the sealing surface 
and o-ring on the bulkhead are clean. No lubricant is 
necessary.

3.  

Thread the bulkhead into the 1/2-20 hole in the top of the 

housing being careful not to cross-thread.

4.  

Use an 11/16” wrench to carefully tighten down the 

bulkhead just until it touches the case. Do not over-
tighten.

5.  

Re-attach the nut on the inside of the case. Tighten snug 

with a 5/8” wrench.

Installing the ST1 TTL Hotshoe

1.  

Depress the tab on the manual hotshoe connector and 

gently pull connector ends apart to remove the housing’s 
manual hotshoe. 

2.  

Align TTL hotshoe and bulkhead connector ends and 

push together until tab clicks into place.

3.  

Push hotshoe forward into camera’s hotshoe mount. 

Make sure that the hotshoe is all the way forward to 
ensure proper connection.

The ST1 TTL Hotshoe is only intended for use with 
compatible Ikelite brand housings.

Testing the Housing

1.  

Assemble the housing without a camera installed. 

Ensure that a waterproof bulkhead cap is in place on the 
bulkhead.

2.  

Submerge the housing in fresh water for several minutes.

3.  

Remove the housing from water and dry the outside of 

the housing with a clean, lint-free cloth.

4.  

Look through the back of the housing for signs that water 

has entered the housing. Signs include fogging or water 
droplets.

5.  

We recommend making at least one dive without a 

camera installed to ensure waterproof operation.

Attaching the Converter

1.  

Remove connector protectors and bulkhead caps from 

each connection.
