compensation is not provided through the Adapter, but can be accessed

via the camera’s menus.

housing’s Nikonos-style bulkhead.

- Hand tighten the knurled ring on the Nikonos connector until there is no

Housing Bulkhead Compatibility

Over the years various housing manufacturers have introduced a variety

of "Nikonos-style" bulkheads with variations on the original contact

design. The plug end on this iTT Adapter has been designed to

prevent damage by some European housings with rigid contacts in place

of the traditional spring-loaded style.

This design may exhibit intermittency with some more traditional

Nikonos-style bulkheads. Two gold plated pins have been provided to

eliminate this intermittency. These pins should only be used in

conjunction with bulkheads featuring two spring-loaded contacts.

To see if your housing has spring-loaded contacts, use an open-ended

paper clip to gently push down on the contacts shown in diagram 2,

page 6. Very little pressure is needed to check the contacts. If the

contacts ARE spring-loaded, proceed to “Troubleshooting/Inserting Pins”

on page 7 for inserting the included gold plated pins.

These pins are specifically recommended for use with the Nikonos-style

bulkhead featured on Nauticam housings.

If your housing does NOT feature spring-loaded contacts, DO NOT

insert the included pins into your plug end. Doing so may cause

damage to your plug and/or bulkhead.

Troubleshooting/Inserting Pins

- If intermittent or loss of TT operation occurs, insert the 2 gold plated

pins into the Nikonos Connector End corresponding receptacles as

shown below. With the Index Recess at the bottom,

the pins should be at the 10 and 2 o’clock positions. Once the pins

are installed they cannot be removed.

- Connect the Adapter to the housing bulkhead, page 3.
