MAINTENANCE OF THE MAIN GASKET SEAL Each housing is individually inspected and hydrostatically tested in the factory. The design of the main gasket seal is among the most reliable in the industry and the watertight integrity is excellent. This special gasket design provides a perfect seal even if there is any movement between the body and lid due to change of ambient pressure. WITH THIS IN MIND… The gasket seal is the only barrier between the water outside and the air space within the

When to Maintain the Gasket Seal: Remove the gasket periodically for inspection. It is not necessary to remove, clean and re-install the gasket after every dive provided the gasket did not become contaminated. The flash housing may be required to be opened between dives, to recharge the batteries. Before opening, make sure the outside of the housing is thoroughly toweled dry. After removing the lid and servicing the flash, replace the lid straight away rather than leaving it lying around

3. Clean the seal recess (the square groove where the gasket sits) with a cotton bud. 4. Inspect the gasket all the way round its surface for damage such as cuts tears or contamination. This should be done visually and also by feeling the surface texture between finger and thumb. 5. IF THE GASKET IS DAMAGED OR SUSPECTED OF BEING DAMAGED, DISCARD IT IMMEDIATELY. A spare gasket is supplied with your housing, or a replacement gasket can be obtained from Fantasea. If the gasket is contamina

EXCLUSIVE PRESSURE RELEASE PLUG The body and lid are uniquely designed with a "no clip" closure arrangement. Our testing has shown that this arrangement allows the water to exert an even pressure on the O-ring, thus increasing the reliability of the watertight seal. To open the housing, the pressure release plug must be first unscrewed and then pulled all the way out. This provides a channel for the air to pass though and eliminate the pressure differential between the inside of the hou

OPENING LEVERS After unscrewing and pulling out the pressure release plug, the lid can be opened. To overcome the friction of opening, two levers are used to push against the lid with a cam action. On some models these opening levers are bolted to the body. On the other models, they are detachable levers. Be sure they are inserted all the way flat to the housing before turning to avoid damaging the protrusions on the Important! lid. The body has two holes on opposite corner edge

MOUNTING THE SPEEDLIGHT IN THE HOUSING INSERTING Since the Fantasea FFL 50 Flash Housing was specifically designed for the Olympus FL50 Speedlight, insertion is a simple matter of placing the flash into the housing. Make sure the flash is properly aligned and that it sits perfectly flat. There are no screws or mounts to worry about or any other alignments once the flash is properly inserted. Set the flashlight in an upright position. Slide the flashlight all the way into the hot shoe of

FIGURE 4: REPLACE THE LID CLOSE HOUSING 1. Place housing back over front and align the complete mating surface of the housing and the gasket, forming a proper seal. 2. Ensure that the pressure release plug is pulled all the way out while closing, otherwise the air cannot escape. 3. Squeeze the lid closed all the way, you will hear the hiss of air being expelled. 4. Screw home the pressure release plug; you need not excessively tighten this plug. The seal is made by the internal O-rings

ATTACHING THE SYNC CORD The sync cord is a 5 pin Nikonos type sync cord. The sync cord connects the flash to the camera housing. Both ends of the cord are identical so either side can be inserted into the flash and camera housings. When you insert the cord into the port you must exercise caution—the pins inside the cord are delicate and must not be damaged. 1. Unscrew the port cover cap and store in a safe place. Gently and accurately attach the sync cord to the port of the flash housing

ATTACHING FLASH HOUSING TO ARM You can either use the Fantasea Flex or Ball and Joint Arms to attach the flash housing to the camera housing. Other arm systems can be used and Fantasea offers adapters to make this possible. Please check with Fantasea or your dealer regarding compatibility issues. Insert the flat rounded end of the arm into the housing clamp and align so the threaded stainless steel pin can be inserted. The pin goes through the non-threaded section of the clamp first a

BATTERY LIFE The Ni Cad and alkaline batteries used with the flash are very efficient and usually last for more than one typical photo dive. It is always wise to have backup batteries in case you do run out of power. The Ni Cad batteries can be recharged many times and offer an economical and environmentally friendly alternative to one-use disposable batteries. Check the users manual of the Olympus FL50 Speedlight for confirmation of compatibility with other batteries. CLEANING & STO

However after an accident the alignment of the housing may have been damaged. Therefore in the event of your housing suffering an impact force, e.g. being dropped, it is esse
