This product has been water pressure tested at the factory and is depth
rated to 200 ft (60 m). Thoroughly inspect and immerse the empty
housing completely in water before installing a camera. If any fogging
occurs or droplets of water enter the housing, do not install a camera.
Clean the housing main o-ring and retest to make sure that it is
watertight. Refer to the Troubleshooting section, page 23.
We suggest that you read this instruction booklet thoroughly before use
to have a full understanding of where each camera control is located,
and what function each control provides. Please read your camera
manual thoroughly to have a full understanding of each camera function.
If you are new to underwater photography, be sure to read the Photo
Tips section.

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 TTL flash exposure with over and underexposure compensation
from +2 to -2 f-stops in 1/2 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.
On the bottom of the housing camera tray
is a switch for setting the DS Strobe ID. Set
the switch to the Model of DS Strobe being
used.
When using dual strobes of different
models such as a DS51 and a DS161, set
the ID switch to DS51 or the smaller strobe.

Using Non-Ikelite or Ikelite Non-DS Strobes (Strobe 50,
100A, 200, 400) with this Housing
The Conversion Circuitry is automatically disabled when used with a
Non-Ikelite or Non-DS Strobe. These Strobes can be used in their
manual mode utilizing any power settings provided on the Strobe.
Using the Conversion Circuitry (Set DS Strobe to TTL mode)
-Mode and Compensation Buttons
The Conversion Circuitry default is set to TTL. To switch between TTL and
Manual Modes, depress both Mode Buttons at the same time and keep
them depressed until you see the desired Yellow LED Mode illuminate.
-TTL Mode (indicated when the yellow LED directly below TTL is
illuminated). TTL Mode is the default setting. When the DS Strobe is
powered ON, the yellow TTL LED will illuminate. None of the Red LEDs
will illuminate. This indicates that no (+) plus or (-) minus compensation is
selected. Depress the Mode buttons to select +/- compensation. Note that
the TTL +/- compensation values are in the yellow bar with the heading
TTL.
-Manual Mode (indicated when the yellow LED directly below the M is
illuminated). When the Manual Mode is selected, the Red LED directly
below the F (full power) will illuminate. Note that the Manual minus (-)
compensation values are in the black bar with the heading M. Set DS
Strobe to TTL mode. This will allow the strobe power to be varied in
manual mode.
Red LEDs (Compensation)
Manual Mode - Yellow LED
TTL Mode - Yellow LED

When using an external
strobe, connect the housing
hotshoe connector. Due to
limited clearance between
the camera hotshoe mount
and the housing back, the
hotshoe connector should
be attached before the
camera is secured with the
mounting bolt. Slide the
connector into the hotshoe
mount on the camera from
the back of the camera as
shown. Slide the connector
forward until it stops. Make
sure the hotshoe is all the
way forward in the camera mount to assure a good connection.

DS50 and DS125 Strobe Compatibility
- Older DS50 Strobes with Serial Number below 63,850 can NOT be
updated to operate correctly with the latest TTL conversion circuitry.
Older DS50 Strobes with Serial Number between 63,850 and 69,999
require upgrade of electronics to operate. Cost of update depends on
strobe circuitry. Strobe must be returned to Ikelite for evaluation to
provide an estimate of upgrade cost.
- Older DS125 Strobes with Serial Number below 2,500 can NOT be
updated to operate correctly with the latest TTL conversion circuitry.
Older DS125 Strobes with Serial Number between 2,500 and 4,999
require upgrade of electronics to operate. Cost of update depends on
strobe circuitry. Strobe must be returned to Ikelite for evaluation to
provide an estimate of upgrade cost.
