Housing Conversion Circuitry
This housing contains Ikelite designed and patented Conversion
Circuitry. Once attached, turn the strobe on first before turning on the
camera.
When used with Ikelite DS Strobes the Conversion Circuitry provides
real TTL flash exposure with over and underexposure compensation
from +2 to -2 f-stops in 1/2 stop increments.
The Conversion Circuitry also offers Manual exposure control with 3 1/2
f-stops of underexposure control in 1/2 stop increments.
The Conversion Circuitry is powered by the Ikelite DS Strobe when
connected to the housing with the 4103.51 single or 4103.52 dual sync
cord. When using two strobes with the dual sync cord, the primary
strobe connected to the cord without the red band, must be turned on to
power the Conversion Circuitry. Always keep both strobes connected to
your dual sync cord underwater. Do not exchange your secondary
strobe for a dust cap which may not be waterproof.
On the bottom of the housing camera tray
is a switch for setting the DS Strobe ID. Set
the switch to the Model of DS Strobe being
used.
When using dual strobes of different
models such as a DS51 and a DS161, set
the ID switch to DS51 or the smaller strobe.
