The female Ikelite bulkhead connector on the strobe permits different Ikelite sync
cords or the Ikelite DS Sensor or EV-Controller to be connected. The sync cord or sensor
relays the trigger signal to the Substrobe.
The removable waterproof cap seals the bulkhead connector when neither the cord
nor the sensor is connected. The strobe bulkhead connector must be sealed to remain
waterproof.

1. Turn the Substrobe OFF and make sure all components are dry. Clean and lightly
lubricate the stem o-ring and the strobe bulkhead connector threads. Check o-ring for
nicks or cuts. Never use spray lubricant.
2. Note the positioning of the receptacles and pins. Properly align the end of the
cord and insert into the strobe bulkhead connector. When using the #4103.51 cord,
which connects an Ikelite housing to an Ikelite Substrobe, both cord ends are identical;
either end can be connected to the strobe.
3. Hand-tighten the knurled retaining ring on the cord. Push the connector body
further into the bulkhead connector and continue to tighten the knurled ring.
