Accessory Port; Setting Up Your Camera; Pre-Installation Checklist & Initial Camera Settings - Ikelite 6170.12 Instructions Manual

Accessory Port

Your housing features one 1/2-20 threaded Accessory Port which
may be used for attachment of factory optional or aftermarket housing
accessories. We recommend Vacuum Kit # 47012 which allows you to
pull a vacuum on the housing to simulate pressure at depth and check
for leaks prior to entering the water.
DO NOT remove the Accessory Hole Plug unless you are installing a
compatible accessory. Visit ikelite.com for an updated list of factory
optional accessories.
Use the following steps to replace an Accessory Port Hole Plug with
an accessory fitting:
1. Remove the Hole Plug using an 11/16 inch open end wrench.
2. Check the accessory fitting o-ring sealing area. If an o-ring is not
present, use the Hole Plug o-ring. Lightly lubricate o-ring with
Ikelite Lubricant. Use ONLY Ikelite lubricant. Other manufacturer
lubricants can cause the o-ring to swell. Check o-ring and o-ring
sealing area. Both should be clean and free of hair, sand, or other
debris.
3. Carefully screw in and tighten accessory fitting. The accessory port
features a 1/2-20 threaded hole. Make sure your fitting is the same
thread pattern. DO NOT cross-thread. DO NOT overtighten.
NOTICE: Your Ikelite housing warranty DOES NOT extend to
cover the attachment of aftermarket housing accessories by 3rd
parties. Warranty DOES cover factory optional accessories attached
by certified Ikelite service technicians.
