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 Nikon iTTL flash exposure with over and underexposure

compensation from +1 1/3 to - 1 1/3 f-stops in 1/3 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.
