Using As A Hard-Wired Strobe Without Ttl; Using As A Slave Strobe - Ikelite DS51 Instructions Manual

USING AS A HARD-WIRED STROBE WITHOUT TTL

For use with the following types of systems:
- Ikelite housings for digital cameras with external strobe connector but without
TTL conversion circuitry
- Non-Ikelite housings for digital cameras with Nikonos-style strobe connector
Connect the strobe using an appropriate Ikelite sync cord. The DS51 must be used in
manual exposure modes. Strobe output is not automatically adjusted for proper exposure
when set to TTL/auto mode.

USING AS A SLAVE STROBE

Trigger your Ikelite DS-series strobe off any camera or strobe flash. The Optional 4403
Optical Slave Converter simply attaches to the strobe's electrical bulkhead in place of a
sync cord connector. The enlarged slave window provides approximately a 90 degree
field of view for remote triggering; or you can thread on the Fiber Optic Port (included
with Slave Converter) for the attachment of and triggering with a fiber optic cord.
The Optical Slave Converter automatically configures itself for compatibility with both
pre-flash and non pre-flash camera modes. No setting of small switches or confusion
over number of pre-flashes. Simply turn on your strobe and take one picture to configure.
The Optical Slave Converter can be extended using an optional 3-foot Extension Cord
for creative backlighting in wrecks, caves, and pool studio set-ups. It can also be used
above water for studio photography work.
The Optical Slave Converter supports manual exposure modes as set on the attached
DS strobe. TTL exposure mode is not supported.
Use of multiple strobes requires one Optical Slave Converter per strobe.
The Converter can be triggered off a camera flash or another strobe.
