SEA&SEA, INON, Nikonos, and Ikelite non-DS strobes
are not capable of powering the TTL Kit circuitry and
thus will not provide TTL operation with this kit. These
strobes may operate in manual power modes.
Installation and Use
Setting the TTL Circuitry Program
A small slide switch on the front of the TTL kit circuitry box
provides switching between manual or TTL operation.
Use “TTL” for TTL operation.
Use “MAN” for Manual operation with no preflash. Strobe
power will need to be set manually.
If the strobe switch is in TTL mode, but the circuitry switch is
in the “MAN” Manual position, the strobe will fire at full power
or at its selected power setting.
»
The circuitry switch must be set prior to installation in
the housing. This setting cannot be changed while the
housing is underwater.
»
Failure to make the correct selection will result in over-
or underexposure.
Removing the Hotshoe
Your housing came with a manual hotshoe installed. This
hotshoe must be removed prior to installing the TTL kit.
1.
The hotshoe is attached by male connector to the female
socket of the bulkhead. Depress the tab on the male
connector.
2.
Hold the female connector while gently pulling the male
connector out of its socket.
3.
Store the manual hotshoe in a small sealed plastic bag
along with your spare parts.
4.
The manual hotshoe may be reinstalled at a later time to
bypass TTL operation.
Installing the TTL Kit
1.
Remove the camera mounting tray from the housing.
2.
Using the included 1/16” Hex Key, loosen the Set Screw
on the left side of the Housing Mounting Tray.

Looking into the housing from the back, orient the TTL
kit circuitry box with the hotshoe wire on your left and the
Male Connector end towards the front of the housing.
4.
Slide the circuitry box into the center bottom of the
housing mounting tray. The male connector should come
out the front of the housing mounting tray near the port
opening.
