»SEA&SEA, INON, Nikonos, and Ikelite non-DS strobes

are not capable of powering the TTL Kit circuitry and

thus will not provide TTL operation with this kit. These

strobes may operate in manual power modes.

Installation and Use

Setting the TTL Circuitry Program

A small slide switch on the front of the TTL kit circuitry box

provides switching between manual or TTL operation.

Use “TTL” for TTL operation.

Use “MAN” for Manual operation with no preash. Strobe

power will need to be set manually.

If the strobe switch is in TTL mode, but the circuitry switch is

in the “MAN” Manual position, the strobe will re at full power

or at its selected power setting.

»The circuitry switch must be set prior to installation in

the housing. This setting cannot be changed while the

housing is underwater.

»Failure to make the correct selection will result in over-

or underexposure.

Removing the Hotshoe

Your housing came with a manual hotshoe installed. This

hotshoe must be removed prior to installing the TTL kit.

1. The hotshoe is attached by male connector to the female

socket of the bulkhead. Depress the tab on the male

connector.

2. Hold the female connector while gently pulling the male

connector out of its socket.

3. Store the manual hotshoe in a small sealed plastic bag

along with your spare parts.

4. The manual hotshoe may be reinstalled at a later time to

bypass TTL operation.

Installing the TTL Kit

1. Remove the camera mounting tray from the housing.

2. Using the included 1/16” Hex Key, loosen the Set Screw

on the left side of the Housing Mounting Tray.

3. Looking into the housing from the back, orient the TTL

kit circuitry box with the hotshoe wire on your left and the

Male Connector end towards the front of the housing.

4. Slide the circuitry box into the center bottom of the

housing mounting tray. The male connector should come

out the front of the housing mounting tray near the port

opening.

5. Re-tighten the 1/16” set screw until it stops. DO NOT

over-tighten.

6. Line up the tab of the male connector with the female

connector coming out of the housing bulkhead and push

gently together. The tab will click into place when properly

connected.

7. Move the Male Connector Wire to the left and out of the

way of the Port Hole Opening.

Connecting Your Camera

1. Install your camera in the housing using the camera

mounting tray.

2. Orient the hotshoe so the “LOCK” insignia is facing you

and the wire is coming out of the back of the hotshoe.

3. Slide the hotshoe into the camera’s hotshoe mount.

4. Push the back of the hotshoe forward rmly until it stops.

This will ensure a good connection. Failure to push

the hotshoe far enough forward may result in lack of

TTL or failure to re strobes.

5. Rotate Hotshoe Locking Ring clockwise to tighen

hotshoe. DO NOT overtighten.

Setting your Strobes

Your Ikelite DS strobe must be set to TTL for TTL exposure

with this kit. Any ash EV compensation set in the camera

will be added to or subtracted from the ash exposure.

Use of manual power settings will provide manual ash

exposure.
