Attaching A Sync Cord - Ikelite 6961.09 Manual

Strobes from SEA&SEA, INON, and Nikonos attached by electrical
sync cord are not capable of powering the TTL circuitry built into this
housing. These strobes must be used in manual power modes when
connected via electrical sync cord.

Attaching a Sync Cord

A bulkhead cap or sync cord must be attached to the housing for
waterproof operation. Never submerge the housing without either
a sync cord or waterproof bulkhead cap attached.
1. Remove the bulkhead cap.
2. Lightly lubricate the sync cord o-rings. We recommend using only
Ikelite silicone lubricant to eliminate the possibility of swelling due to
incompatible compounds.
3. Line up the pins and receptacles and gently insert the sync cord
plug into the housing bulkhead. DO NOT force or rush this
installation. The sync cord will not go into the bulkhead if the Pins
and Receptacles are misaligned.
