STEP 4 - Attach the Control Ring Gear
The supplied Control Ring ear is attached to the camera control ring by
3 small nylon Allen Set Screws. Place the Control Ring ear over the
camera’s step ring before installing the camera in the housing. The ear
is a “press fit” over the lens. ently tighten all three allen screws with
the supplied Allen Wrench as show below. D N T overtighten or you
may damage the gear, or cause 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 recommend that you leave the ear installed as
it makes rotating the camera control ring easier when out of the housing.

Turn clockwise to tighten. DO NOT overtighten
or you may warp or amage the gear.
