There are four port locks on
the front of the housing
( ( S S e e e e F F i i g g . . G G - - p p a a g g e e 1 1 2 2 ) ) . Each
port lock has a Release
Button. Lift the release
button and slide each Port
Lock away from the port
opening. In the unlocked
position, the Release Button
will remain in the up
position as shown.
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. Do not rely 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 ( ( S S e e e e F F i i g g 2 2 - - p p a a g g e e 1 1 4 4 ) ) . .

This housing has Conversion Circuitry built into the camera tray
( ( P P a a g g e e 5 5 ) ) . When used with Ikelite DS Substrobes, the Conversion
Circuitry provides real Canon eTTL flash exposure with over and
under-exposure compensation of two f-stops in half-stop
increments.
The Conversion Circuitry also offers 8 manual power settings in
1 /2 stop increments.
The Conversion Circuitry is powered by the Ikelite DS Substrobe
when connected to the housing with the #41 03.51 single or
#41 03.52 dual sync cord.
See p p a a g g e e 1 1 9 9 for DS Substrobe compatibility with the Conversion
Circuitry.

If the port is installed before the
camera is inserted into the housing,
look from the inside of the housing
at the port seal. Check to see that the
o'ring is properly seated as shown in
figure 1 and not extruded as shown
in figure 2.
C C a a u u t t i i o o n n : :
After installing the port, turn the Zoom Control knob on the
housing. If the Zoom Control is difficult to turn, the gear sleeve
may be warped. If necessary, reduce or omit any rubber installed
on the Zoom Clamp ( ( S S e e e e F F i i g g . . F F - - p p g g . . 1 1 0 0 ) ) . If the Zoom Clamp is still
warped, use of the # 5509.28 package may be required.

A lens port must be secured to the housing before entering the
water. Ikelite DSLR housings DO NOT come with a lens port. You
must select the correct port for each lens you will be using
underwater. For complete lens/port information and
