Arrakis On-Air-7 H10 On-Air Light Kit
What This Arrakis On-Air-7 H10 On-Air Light Kit Actually Is This is the dedicated on-air light wiring kit built specifically for the H10 console, giving you a ready-made way to trigger a standard on-air light whenever your console is live. The kit connects to the H10's built-in on-air light logic output and provides a female AC outlet you can plug a standard on-air light directly into, without needing to build any custom wiring or figure out the console's logic signals yourself. The on-air light itself is not included with this kit and needs to be provided separately, so this purchase covers the wiring and interface between your console and whatever light fixture you're already using or planning to buy. How This Kit Triggers Your On-Air Light Like the rest of the Arrakis console lineup, the H10 outputs on-air light logic as a low-voltage DC and ground signal, which is the standard signaling method the console uses to indicate when a channel is live. This kit translates that logic signal into a simple, practical connection, an external inline module that provides a female AC outlet, letting you plug a standard on-air light in and have it activate automatically whenever the console's logic triggers it. Rather than needing an electrician or broadcast technician to build a custom interface circuit from scratch, this kit gives you a tested, purpose-built solution that connects directly to the H10's existing logic output. Why a Dedicated Kit Beats a Custom Wiring Solution Building your own on-air light interface from scratch means correctly interpreting the console's logic voltage and current specifications and constructing a circuit capable of safely switching AC power for your light fixture, a task that really calls for a qualified broadcast technician if done from the ground up. This kit removes that requirement entirely, giving you a pre-built module specifically matched to the H10's on-air logic output. That means less time troubleshooting wiring, less risk of a wiring mistake affecting your console, and a straightforward path to getting your on-air light working correctly the first time. What You'll Need to Provide Alongside This Kit Since the on-air light itself isn't included, you'll need to source a standard on-air light fixture separately, something that plugs into a standard AC outlet, since that's exactly what this kit's external module provides. Arrakis also offers other on-air light kits built for different console models, like the ARC-8, ARC-10, ARC-15, MARC, and H15 series, along with USB relay options for DARC AoIP consoles, so if you're working with a different console alongside your H10, or running a mixed studio setup, it's worth confirming you're ordering the kit that matches each specific console you're wiring. Where This Kit Fits Into a Typical H10 Studio Setup This kit is meant specifically for stations running an H10 console that want a working on-air light indicator without dealing with custom logic wiring. It's a common addition during initial studio installation, letting you get visual on-air indication working alongside your console from day one, but it's just as useful as a later addition if you're retrofitting on-air light functionality into an H10 setup that didn't originally include it. Because the kit is purpose-built for the H10's specific logic output, it avoids any guesswork about voltage or current compatibility that a generic relay or switch might introduce. Who Should Be Adding This Kit to Their Studio This is a practical, necessary purchase for any station running an H10 console that wants a functioning on-air light without hiring a technician to build custom logic wiring. It's especially useful for facilities setting up a new studio around the H10 and wanting a complete, working on-air indication system from the start. For stations that already have an on-air light fixture on hand and just need the correct interface to the H10's logic output, this kit is exactly the missing piece.
