8. Connecting the strobes
Your Nikon D7200 housing is equipped with 1 Nikonos 5pin bulkhead and 2 fiber
optic connector ports.
Nikonos 5pin
bulkhead
Connecting a sync cord
Each sync cord (whether it is a 5-pin or a 6-pin) will have a plug on the hou-
sing side of the cable that will correspond with the bulkhead on the housing.
Before fixing the sync cord, make sure that the plug is fitted with the appropriate
o-ring and that this o-ring is clean, slightly greased and free of dirt or cracks.
We strongly recommend greasing the threaded part of the plug as well as this
will allow swift fitting and removal of the plug and will prevent corrosion to the
threaded part due to exposure to salt water. When inserting the plug into the
bulkhead, make sure that the pinhole layout of the plug is symmetrical to the
pin layout inside the bulkhead. If you should feel any resistance when insert-
ing the plug into the bulkhead, do not force the
plug any further. Remove the plug and check the
pinholes positions compared to the pins inside
the bulkhead. Once fitted, tighten the locking nut
to prevent the plug from getting loose du ring the
dive. If the housing is to be used without external
strobes, the bulkheads should be fitted with seal-
ing caps. Make sure that these sealing caps are
fitted with the proper O-rings and see to it that
these O-rings are clean, slightly greased and that
they don't show any damage or cracks.

Fiber optic
connector port
Connecting an fiber optic cable
Your Nikon D7200 housing is equipped with 2
fiber optic connector ports on top of the housing.
These ports are compatible with Sea & Sea and
Inon fiber optic cable systems. The plug at the
end of a Sea & Sea or Inon fiber optic cable fits
in the fiber optic connector ports on top of the
housing. When using this system, the internal
strobe has to be popped up so it can trigger the
external strobe by sending its light through the
fiber optic cable. The hot shoe inside the camera
cannot be used when fiber optic cables are be-
ing used. You can unplug the camera hot shoe cable and store the hot shoe.
Installing the strobe arms
Your Hugyfot housing comes with three 25mm (1") arm balls (one on top of
each handle and one on top of the housing). The Hugyfot strobe arms are also
equipped with 25mm (1") arm balls on both ends and are fixed to the housing
(and to each other) by means of clamps.
