Lid Snaps have a Lock. To open,
push Lid Snap Lock forward and lift as
shown. Keep pressure on the Lid
Snap so it does not fly open quickly.
Lid Snaps have a lot of spring tension

firm grip on the Lid Snap. Lid Snaps
may be opened one at a time.

Setting the Conversion Circuitry Strobe ID Switch
Housing Conversion Circuitry
This housing contains kelite designed and patented Conversion
Circuitry. Once attached, turn the strobe on first before turning on the
camera.
When used with kelite DS Substrobes 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 kelite DS Substrobe 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 housing back is a switch for setting the DS Substrobe D. Set the
switch to the Model of DS Substrobe being used.
When using dual strobes of different models such as a DS51 and a
DS161, set the D switch to DS51 or the smaller strobe.

Using Non-Ikelite or Ikelite Non-DS Substrobes
(Substrobe 50, 100A, 200, 400) with this Housing
The Conversion Circuitry is automatically disabled when used with a
Non- kelite or Non-DS Substrobe. These Substrobes can be used in their
manual mode utilizing any power settings provided on the Substrobe.
Using the Conversion Circuitry (Set DS Substrobe 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 Substrobe 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
Substrobe to TTL mode. This will allow the strobe power to be varied
in manual mode.

TTL Mode - Yellow LED

When using an external
strobe, connect the housing
hotshoe connector. 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. 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.

DS50 and DS125 Substrobe Compatibility
- Older DS50 Substrobes with Serial Number below 63,850 can NOT be
updated to operate correctly with the latest TTL conversion circuitry.
Older DS50 Substrobes 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 kelite for evaluation to
provide an estimate of upgrade cost.
- Older DS125 Substrobes with Serial Number below 2,500 can NOT be
updated to operate correctly with the latest TTL conversion circuitry.
Older DS125 SubStrobes 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 kelite for evaluation to
provide an estimate of upgrade cost.
