IKELITE D 160 UB TROBE
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing an Ikelite Substrobe. Ikelite brings over 50 years of underwater
photographic and lighting experience to the strobe market. Ikelite Substrobes are
designed and built in the USA by Ikelite to suit both the professional and the amateur
photographer.
The purpose of a strobe is to illuminate the subject and assist the camera in taking vivid
pictures. The Ikelite DS160 Substrobe is equally suited for general and wide-angle
photography, covering up to a full 100° angle with a diffuser.
This strobe is everything you need for stunning photos.
TARTING OUT
Before using the Ikelite DS160 Substrobe, please read this owner’s manual thoroughly
and retain it for future reference. Ikelite recommends becoming familiar with the
features and functions of the Ikelite DS160 Substrobe above water before trying the
camera and strobe in the water. And, if you have not yet done so, it is suggested that you
read your camera’s owner’s manual as well.
TROBE COMPATIBILITY
The DS160 Substrobe is compatible with all Ikelite TTL systems and current digital
cameras, as well as all older TTL film cameras including the Nikonos system. A variety of
sync cords, sensors, and TTL adapters are available to connect to almost any camera
system currently on the market.
TROBE POWER
The DS160 recycles in a quick 1.4 sec from full discharge. When fired at a fractional
power — whether in TTL or manual mode — the strobe recycles virtually instantaneously.
Number of flashes per full charge will increase dramatically in most cases when using in
TTL mode with a compatible camera system. The powerful DS160 is adjustable in 10
half-stop increments for precise control over your exposure when used in manual mode.

D 160 UB TROBE
The Ikelite DS160 strobe combines high intensity output and wide coverage angle
in a compact, versatile design. This strobe features 160 watt-sec. intensity and covers
a full 100° using the diffuser. Special soft-lite reflector provides rich reds, oranges, and
warmer flesh tones.
The Ikelite DS160 strobe is pre-flash compatible and operates with both traditional film
cameras and digital still cameras. Multiple firing modes are featured, including TTL/Auto
exposure.
The DS160 electronics are safely sealed separately from the battery pack. The industrial
grade Li-ion batteries recycle in an incredible 1.4 seconds and the Li-ion pack
is easily interchangeable with a spare unit. When in the “Batt w/Lite” position, the fuel
gauge references the remaining battery capacity. Aim the DS160 and illuminate your
subject's colors with the built-in modeling light / night diving light.
OVERVIEW OF D 160 FEATURE
• Separate power and firing mode switches.
• Interchangeable battery pack features industrial grade Li-ion batteries.
• LED fuel gauge approximates the remaining battery capacity.
• Visual ready light indicates when strobe has recycled.
• Female Ikelite bulkhead connector accepts different camera sync cords and the
EV-Controller 4100.6.
• Exposure guide label references recommended exposure settings.
• Separate diffuser provides softer lighting and wider coverage angle.
BECOMING FAMILIAR
Before using the Ikelite Substrobe, please read this owners manual thoroughly and retain
for future reference. We recommend that you become familiar with the features and
functions of the Ikelite Substrobe before trying the camera and strobe in the water. If you
have not done so, we also suggest reading your camera owner's manual.
OPENING THE TROBE
Turn the strobe OFF, and place the strobe face down on a flat surface.
Slide the locking lever out by either grasping the sides of the lever and pulling it out OR
use your thumb to apply slight pressure to the top of the lever and slide it out.
Flip the lever up and then rotate the lever counter-clockwise 90°. The internal spring
automatically pushes open the strobe. Lift the rear section off of the strobe front (See
illustrations on page 7). The rear section is the Li-ion battery pack for the strobe.
The Li-ion pack does NOT remain waterproof when removed from the strobe. Therefore,
we suggest keeping the open portion of the Li-ion pack pointed down while removing to
eliminate the possibility of water droplets falling inside. The Li-ion batteries remain
permanently secured inside the pack.
The front section of the DS160, which houses the main electronics, is safely sealed
separately from the Li-ion pack. The front section will remain waterproof when the Li-ion
pack is removed. However, avoid salt-water contact with the battery pins.
Damage/corrosion can cause a short circuit. DO NOT disassemble the strobe or the
Li-ion pack. We suggest storage of your strobe with the locking lever OPEN to allow any
hydrogen/air mixture to escape.
O-RING
The o-ring is located on the inside rim of the Li-ion pack. eep the o-ring and the sealing
surfaces clean. DO NOT stretch the o-ring when cleaning. It is not necessary to lubricate
the o-ring. Never use spray lubricant because it may crack the plastic.
RECHARGE THE BATTERY PACK
See "CHARGING THE Li-ion PAC " section for recharging information on page 8.
CLO ING THE TROBE
Make sure the power switch has been rotated to the off position.
Place the front of the strobe face down on a flat surface. Check that the o-ring and
sealing surfaces are clean; make sure the o-ring is positioned properly inside the rim of
the Li-ion pack. Place the locking lever in the open position (slide the lever out, flip the
lever up, and rotate the lever counterclockwise 90 degrees until it stops).
Align the front and rear sections of the strobe. Lower the Li-ion pack onto the front
section of the strobe. Proper alignment of the two sections is extremely important to
avoid possible damage to the internal components.
To seal the strobe, simply press down slightly on the rear of the Li-ion pack and rotate
the lever clockwise 90 degrees until it stops. Flip the lever down and then slide the lever
into the locked position to properly seal the strobe.

CAUTION:
DO NOT use the older AULT charger, part
#BCW-306-125-01-03N, which has a green
power LED and yellow charge LED on the
charger front.
CHARGING THE Li-ion PACK WITH NiMH CHARGER
When recharging the Li-on Pack with an older NiMH
charger, a solid red LED indicates the Pack is
charging. When the LED is NOT lit, the Pack is
fully charged.

The 4060.1 DS160 comes standard with rechargeable Li-ion battery pack and flash
diffuser (page 9). The Li-ion battery pack requires 4067.1 Smart Charger (page 19), not
included except with certain strobe packages.
Rechargeable Li-ion battery pack 4067 is compatible only with Ikelite's DS160 and
DS161 strobe. The rear section of the strobe is the Li-ion battery pack for the strobe.
Additional Li-ion packs (rear sections) 4067 are available through an Ikelite dealer.
Battery pack is also compatible with older DS125 and DS160 strobes.
A fully charged Li-ion pack provides at least 450 full power flashes. It consists of six
sub-C-cell industrial grade Li-ion batteries.
The Li-ion pack does NOT remain waterproof when removed from the strobe.
Therefore, we suggest keeping the open portion of the Li-ion pack pointed down while
removing to eliminate the possibility of water droplets falling inside. The Li-ion
batteries remain permanently secured inside the pack. DO NOT disassem le the
Li-ion pack or charger.
The DS160 accepts the same 4066.5 NiMH module used on older DS161, DS160 and
DS125 Substrobes. If you intend to use an older battery pack on your new Substrobe,
please reference the notice dated 6/22/09 on the following webpage:

An optional paddle-type or ball-type mount can be mounted to the underneath side of the
strobe. The mount slides into the strobe base and is secured with a screw (supplied with
optional mount). Make sure to slide the mount into the strobe base until it stops. Be
careful to not cross-thread the screw when tightening the mount. The DS160 Shroud can
be rotated slightly to gain better access to the strobe base with a screwdriver.
Although not necessary, you can apply a small amount of Ikelite lube around the screw
threads before attaching the strobe mount. Use Ikelite lube only which is supplied with the
DS161 strobe. This will reduce the possibility of seizing and allow removal of the screw
should the mount need to be removed. Removing the mount for long storage periods will
also reduce the possibility of seizing.
