Technical data
The COMBINER BOX is a spltter and booster device for the safety signal of the ARM
SYSTEM. The COMBINER BOX acts as a slave of the connected ARM CONTROLLER,
which is the master of the safety line.
The COMBINER BOX is also capable of combining the ARM signal input with a DMX
signal, into a DMX+ARM output. Furthermore, it provides a boosted output signal to
overcome signal loss over long cable runs.

each slave line to close the safety circuit. The ARM SYSTEM will not
work when a line remains open.
Install the COMBINER BOX in the ARM safety circuit and connect the COMBINER BOX
to a power source. Check the following installation variants for connection details.

SOFTWARE SETTINGS
Make sure that the DMX/RDM settings on each SFX machine matches your wiring
setup. If the DMX signal runs separately over 5-pole XLR cables, make sure that XLR is
selected as DMX INPUT in the menu. If a combined DMX and ARM signal runs over
the ARM data (EtherCON) cables, make sure that ARM is selected as DMX INPUT in the
menu.
