housing end. Ikelite ber optic ports and plugs are

brands.
Installation and Use as a Remote Slave
Attaching the Converter
1. Remove the connector protector from the plug end of the
converter.
2. Remove the bulkhead cap from the strobe bulkhead.
3. Apply a very thin, even layer of lubricant on all threads,
sealing surfaces, and the exposed portion of the plug
o-ring. Do not allow lubricant to get into the pins and
receptacles of the plug or bulkhead.
4. Align plug and insert into the strobe bulkhead. Each male
pin mates with a female receptacle. Failing to line up the
contacts properly before tightening may result in damage
to the converter and/or strobe.
5. Hand-tighten the retaining ring.
Setting Your Camera and Strobe
1. Your camera must be set to a manual, forced ll ash
mode that does not emit a preash. Refer to your
camera’s instruction manual for details on ash settings.
Do not use a red eye reduction ash mode.
2. Set the strobe to a manual power setting.
3. Take a test photo.
Positioning the Slave Window
The slave window must be pointed towards your primary
strobe for reliable triggering. For more creative lighting
positioning options, add an optional Extension Cord between
the converter and the strobe.
Use as a Fiber Optic Converter
Adding the ber optic port is necessary when shooting a
DSLR or mirrorless camera with a ber optic converter
attached. This converter supports triggering at high frame
rates (4 fps or faster) as long as the camera is set to a
manual ash mode.
This converter is not usable with cameras emitting a
preash.
