Install bodies by
screwing them into
the base plate of the
5510.45 dome port.
The seal between the
body and the dome
base plate is a side to
side seal and requires
the o-ring to be lightly
lubricated for easy
installation. Remove
the body/base plate
o-ring, put a small
amount of lubricant
on your fingers and
pull the o-ring through
your fingers to lightly lubricate it. Do not stretch the o-ring.
Check that the o-ring groove in the body where the o-ring fits
and the sealing surface on
the port base plate are clean.
Replace the o-ring onto the
body and then screw the
body into the base plate of
the dome port. Screw the
body in until it stops. The
front edge of the body should
be flush or slightly above the
inside face of the dome base
plate as shown
in the cross-section.

To prepare the port for installation, remove the port o-ring and
lightly lubricate it. The port seal is a side-to-side seal and
requires the o-ring to be lightly lubricated for easy installation.
Put a small amount of lubricant on your fingers and pull the
o-ring through your fingers to lightly lubricate it. Do not stretch
the o-ring. Check that the lip of the port where the o-ring fits and
the sealing surface on the housing are clean.
Place the port, with o-ring, into the housing port opening. Press
down on the port firmly and evenly until you feel the port slide
into place. Continue to push down on the port and push each
port lock forward until the lock fully engages. It may help to
slightly rotate the port as you push in on the port lock. Visually
inspect the port lock and confirm that the port lock release
button is seated flush against the port lock body - Page 6. Do
not rely only on an audible "click" to indicate that the lock is
engaged.
Check around the perimeter of the port seal to see that the
o-ring is properly sealed and not extruded #)'+).

When using the 5510.11 superwide port body, unmodified
(2-port lock housings) produced prior to March 2006 require the
installation of low-profile port locks (now standard on all DSLR
housings). These may be purchased through your local Ikelite
dealer or directly from Ikelite. Request two 9072.24 port locks
when ordering.
All Ikelite digital SLR housings produced since March 2006
(serial number 15798 and above) are fully compatible with all
port bodies including the 5510.11 superwide port body and
require no modification.
To visually compare older port locks, measure 7/16" from the
bottom to the top of the retaining screw slot. Low-profile port
locks measure 5/16". Refer to the figures below.
Ikelite film SLR housings are not compatible with the 5510.11
