Strobe Compatibility - Ikelite iTTL Instruction Manual

Connecting DS Substrobes
Use ONLY with Ikelite DS Substrobes. If using an older DS50 or DS125
strobe, see strobe compatibility below.
- Make sure all components are dry.
- Remove the waterproof cap from the Ikelite bulkhead on the black
delrin pod. Lightly lubricate bulkhead threads.
- Clean and lightly lubricate the o-ring on the male Ikelite connector.
Check o-ring for cracks or nicks.
- Note the positioning of the receptacles and pins. Properly align the
end of the Ikelite sync cord connector and insert it into the adapter's
bulkhead (page 3).
- Hold the adapter's knurled ring when tightening the sync cord.
- Hand tighten the knurled ring on the sync cord until there is no
in-out movement between sync cord connector and adapter
bulkhead.
Single or Dual Ikelite sync cords can be attached.
Two strobes cannot be operated by independent adapters.

Strobe Compatibility

DS50 Substrobes
Substrobes with Serial Number below 63,850 can Not be updated to
operate correctly with the latest TTL conversion circuitry.
Substrobes with Serial Number between 63,850 and 69,999 require an
update to operate with the latest TTL conversion circuitry.
DS125 Substrobes
Substrobes with Serial Number below 2,500 can Not be updated to
operate correctly with the latest TTL conversion circuitry.
Substrobes with Serial Number between 2,500 and 4,999 require an
update to operate with the latest TTL conversion circuitry.
