Use ONLY with Ikelite DS Substrobes. If using an older DS50 or DS125
strobe, see strobe compatibility below.
-
Make sure all components are dry.
-
Remove the waterproof cap from the Ikelite bulkhead on the black
delrin pod. Lightly lubricate bulkhead threads.
-
Clean and lightly lubricate the o-ring on the male Ikelite connector.
Check o-ring for cracks or nicks.

Note the positioning of the receptacles and pins. Properly align the
end of the Ikelite sync cord connector and insert it into the adapter’s
bulkhead (page 3).
-
Hold the adapter’s knurled ring when tightening the sync cord.
