Step 5 - Closing The Housing; Step 6 - Final Check - Ikelite 6843.72 Instruction Manual

Step 5 - Closing the Housing

1. Place housing face down
in your lap. Check to see
that there is an o-ring on the
housing back, and that it is
clean and in its proper location.
2. Guide the back onto the
housing front. Make sure the
hotshoe cord is out of the way.
Once the back is properly
installed, the o-ring should
touch the housing all the way around.
There should be an even gap on each side of the housing between the
housing and the back.
3. Lift the lid snaps so they are extended and place each lid snap into the
corresponding hook on the housing back.
4. To close the housing, push down on the opposing lid snaps simultaneously
until they snap into place. Be sure they are down far enough to engage the
Lid Snap Lock - Page 11. The o-ring seal should now appear as a solid
black line when viewed from the back of the housing.
5. ATTACH Base + Release Handle to Housing bottom, page 23.

Step 6 - Final Check

This housing has been factory water pressure tested to 200 ft (60 m).
Once the housing is closed, recheck the o-ring seal. Double check the
gap between the housing back and the housing. It should be even all the
way around the housing. Look through the clear acrylic back at the o-ring.
You should see a darkened area or solid black line where the o-ring is
compressed against the housing back. If you do not see an even black
compression seal all the way around the back, open the lid snaps, reseat
the housing back, and reclose the lid snaps. Visually check the seal again.
