Attaching A Sync Cord - Ikelite 6910.61 Instruction 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 insert the sync cord plug into
the bulkhead.

4. Rotate the knurled retaining ring until snug on the housing's
bulkhead. Do not use pliers or tools to tighten the retaining ring.
5. Attach the other end(s) of the sync cord to the bulkhead(s) on your
strobe(s).
6. If using an Ikelite strobe, set the strobe to TTL. If using a non-Ikelite
strobe, set the strobe to manual flash and select a manual power
setting.
