Flash Connections - Nikon D200 User Manual

6. Flash connections

Hugyfot housings can be equiped with Nikonos 5-pins or S-6 flash connec-
tions. These flash connections are plugged into a circuit board inside the
housing. An optional TTL-converter is also available.
The flash connection can be shut off by
using a small protection cap which can be
removed by turning it counter clockwise.
The cap has 2 o-rings which have to be
cleaned together with the thread. After-
wards, slightly grease o-ring and thread.
The flash plug also has to be serviced.
Slightly grease the o-rings and thread and
keep the flash contacts dry.
The multiple socket in the housing has
a small ridge. The projecting part of the
connection has a groove with the same
measurements as the ridge of the connec-
tion. Be sure that, whenever plugging the
connection into the socket, the groove and
the ridge fit well together. Only then the
connection is well positioned. Press the
plug gently into the contact. Then turn it
clockwise to tighten it. Whenever the flash
connection has to be removed from a wet
housing it always has to be positioned downwards. If not, the remaining
water can work its way into the flash connection. In that case, the water has
to be removed immediately by using an absorbing paper. Do not close the
flash connection when it is not entirely dry.
Fourth maintenance command:
Keep the inside of the plug dry and clean. The o-rings, the plug and the
thread need to be clean and slightly greased. DO NOT use the housing with
an open multiple socket: this can cause leakage and corrosion!
