Control Ring ear
(properly installed)
Set Screw Hex Head Wrench
STE 4 - Attach the Control Ring Gear
The supplied Control Ring ear is attached to the camera control ring by
3 small nylon hex head Set Screws. Place the Control Ring ear over
the camera’s control ring before installing the camera in the housing.
The ear is a “press fit” over the lens. ently tighten all three hex head
screws with the supplied Hex Head Wrench as show below. DO NOT
overtighten or you may damage the gear, causing it to warp and bow out
from the lens Control Ring. Make sure to test it’s function once installed.
When installing the camera in the housing, make sure that the Control
Ring ear meshes properly with the smaller black housing gear.
When removing the ear, leave the Set Screws in the ear. The Set
Screws are very small and easy to lose. Extra Set Screws are included
with your housing. We suggest that you leave the ear installed as it
makes rotating the camera control ring easier when out of the housing.
