Do not attempt to repair the strobe or cord yourself. This may cause
further damage and void your Ikelite limited warranty.
Strobe will not fire when using sync cord
•
Make sure the strobe is turned on.
•
Try a different sync cord.
•
Restore camera to factory default settings and then re-configure
according to the housing instructions.
Strobe will not fire when using an optical sensor
•
Make sure the strobe is turned on.
•
Test fire the strobe through the bulkhead. Use the two ends of a
bent paper clip to connect different pins in the bulkhead contacts,
as detailed in the diagram below. This process, known also as
“shorting,” creates a temporary circuit that can test-fire the strobe.
Caution: When creating a circuit via paper clip, or “shorting,” pay
close attention to which two receptacles you connect. If you short
across the wrong receptacles on a TTL sync cord, you may damage
the DS51 electronics. If it does not fire through the bulkhead, then
the strobe must be returned for repair.
