Connect one (1) Ikelite Substrobe to a Nikonos IV, V, RS, or

suitable FILM camera housing that utilizes the Nikonos flash socket
for external strobe connection. Different model Substrobes can be
combined. The strobes will fire in TTL automatic or manual

Over the years various housing manufacturers have introduced a
variety of "Nikonos-style" bulkheads with variations on the original
contact design. The plug end on this TTL Adapter has been
designed to prevent damage by some European housings with rigid
contacts in place of the traditional spring-loaded style.

This design may exhibit intermittency with some more traditional
Nikonos-style bulkheads. Two gold plated pins have been provided
to eliminate this intermittency. These pins should only be used in
conjunction with bulkheads featuring two spring-loaded contacts.

To see if your housing has spring-loaded contacts, use an
open-ended paper clip to gently push down on the contacts shown
in Diagram A - page 4. Very little pressure is needed to check the
contacts. If the contacts ARE spring-loaded, proceed to the
directions on page 5 for inserting the included gold plated pins.

These pins are specifically recommended for use with the
Nikonos-style bulkhead featured on Nauticam housings.

If your housing does NOT feature spring-loaded contacts, DO NOT
insert the included pins into your plug end. Doing so may cause
damage to your plug and/or bulkhead.

- If intermittent or loss of TTL operation occurs, insert the 2

gold plated pins into the Nikonos Connector End corresponding
receptacles as shown below. With the Index Groove at the bottom,
the pins should be at the 10 and 2 o’clock positions. Once the pins
are installed they should not be removed.

- Connect the Adapter to the housing bulkhead (See page 2).
