Attaching The Lens Port - Ikelite 6910.63 Instruction Manual

2. Place the back onto the housing front.
3. Make sure no controls or wires are interfering with the o-ring or the
back of the housing.
4. Place each lid snap into the corresponding hook on the housing
back.
5. Push the lid snaps towards the housing until they are flat against
the housing and the lock has engaged. Close opposing lid snaps at
the same time.
6. Check the o-ring seal. The o-ring should form a uniform, solid line
around the back of the housing. There will be a small, even gap
around the housing between the housing back and the housing
front.

Attaching the Lens Port

A compatible lens port is required for waterproof operation.
Never submerge the housing without a lens port attached.
1. Lightly lubricate the o-ring on the port base. When properly
lubricated, the o-ring should have an even, slightly shiny
appearance. Wipe off any excess lubricant. Lubricant prevents the
o-ring from rolling or extruding; it is not a sealing mechanism.
2. If using a gear sleeve, place it on the port base with the teeth side
outwards.
3. Slide the lens port onto the housing port base and press evenly
down towards the housing until it stops. There should be a very
thin, even gap between the bottom of the port and the housing
front.
4. If using a dome with a shade, rotate the lens port gently so that the
wider extensions are oriented on the top and bottom. If the shade is
misaligned, it may cause vignetting (dark shadows in the corner of
the image).
