DOM II CONTROL BOX
The DOM II Control Box is available in two versions -
single and dual comm. models. They were specically
designed separately to offer the single comm. operator
an even more streamlined system than those competitive
products available on the market. The control box can be
ordered specic to both single and dual comm. operator
preferences. The single comm. box is available with
the shrouded PTT switch positioned either for inboard
or outboard switch access. The dual comm. model
is available with twin, shrouded PTT switches on the
inboard side of the control box or one inboard and one
outboard. The DOM II control box requires no batteries or
software updates/programming.
AVON MASK
COMM CABLE
The DOM II 2 pin Avon Comms Cable connects directly
to the ECP (Electronic Comms Port) on the front of the
AVON FM53 / M50 and C50 breathing apparatus with
built-in dynamic mic inside the mask. The opposite end
of the cable features a straight connector with white ring
designed to connect directly to its white colored insert
receptacle counterpart on the top of the DOM II control
box. The cable, when connected to the mask and control
box, will automatically disable the boom microphone of
the headset the operator is wearing and only utilize the
dynamic microphone inside the mask when transmitting.
This features prevents the operator from transmitting
noise in his ambient environment - outside of the mask
where his headset’s boom microphone is located -
keeping mask TX communications clear and concise with
no competing environmental noise.
COLOR COORDINATED
KEYED RECEPTACLES
The top end of the DOM II control box features a 14 conductor
receptacle with a RED color insert. This receptacle is used for
connection of the DOM II upper headset and the Peltor transition
cable. Next to the RED receptacle is a 9 conductor WHITE
receptacle. This receptacle is used for the ICS, Auxiliary Comms
and AVON Mask interface cables. The bottom end of the DOM
II control box for the single comm. version features a BLUE
colored receptacle for the radio cable and a GREEN receptacle
for the remote chest PTT cable (for single comm. models only).
Dual comm. systems feature two BLUE colored receptacles for
twin radio cables. All of the receptacles feature cap assemblies.
It is highly recommended you keep the receptacles capped to
keep them clean and clear of debris. Periodic use of a can of
pressurized air sprayed into each receptacle opening is highly
recommended.
DOM II CONTROL BOX
MOLLE CARRIER
The DOM II control box MOLLE carrier features a simple, yet
durable, method of mounting the control box to a MOLLE vest. A
black nylon system consisting of a Kydex back, bungee cable and
sewn on Velcro hook and loop material provide a sleek, out of the
way solution. An alternate tuck tab is also available.
ENVIRONMENTAL
AMPLIFICATION BUTTONS
The DOM II control box features a shrouded pair of buttons
used to activate the environmental amplication capabilities
of the electronic earpieces when in use. The square button
with the molded “+” sign can be depressed multiple times to
sequentially increase environmental amplication levels of
the earpieces. Likewise, the square button with the molded “-”
sign can be depressed to reduce ambient amplication to the
point of switching that feature off. There are two distinct sets of
beep tones sent through the earpieces when you have reached
maximum volume levels as well as minimum levels (off). When
a radio connector of the DOM II is connected to a radio and
the radio is subsequently turned on, the volume level of the
earpieces (whether being worn or not) will engage at a level
closely representing normal human hearing levels (individuals
with little or no hearing loss). Adjustment in volume should be
made depending upon your personal hearing capabilities as well
as environmental surroundings and conditions.
PELTOR/SORDIN
TRANSITION CABLE
The Peltor/Sordin transition cable was designed to provide
the operator with the ability/option to connect a circum-aural
(COM TAC III / Supreme Pro) or COM TAC IV to the DOM II
control box. The transition cable features a red band inside the
connector housing designed to mate with the 14 conductor red
receptacle on the DOM II control box. The opposite end of the
cable features a standard, NATO wired female jack assembly
to allow for the mating male plug end of the Peltor or Sordin
headset to connect. The transition cable is intentionally short as
the circum-aural headset’s standard cable lengths are 20 inches.
90 Degree & Standard
Cable Connections
At the request of the client we were asked to design and develop
as many cable options as possible to be terminated with 90 degree
connectors. This design decreases the overall footprint of the
control box on the vest by eliminating taller straight connectors.
Furthermore, we were asked to design the connectors so, when
connected to the control box, they were 45 degrees inward, toward
the body armor - further reducing the overall prole of the box
when positioned on the vest. All of the cable connectors feature a
visible colored ring inside the connector housing that corresponds
with their colored receptacle mate on the control box. Additionally,
each of the connectors are specically keyed to the receptacle
they are to be mated with - therefore you cannot connect a cable
to the wrong receptacle on the control box. Connectors should be
pushed inward to connect to their receptacle mate on the box and
pulled to disengage. DO NOT FORCEABLY TURN or TWIST the
connectors into or out of the receptacles as this could potentially
break wires inside a connector housing causing a non-warranty
covered failure. Simply line the red dots up on the connector and
receptacle and gently push the connector into the receptacle -- it
will self-lock.
DOM II ICS CABLE
(2 STYLES)
The DOM II ICS cable is signicantly different than others on
the market. The DOM II ICS cable features over-molded smart
components inside the plug housing allowing the headset to work
properly on multiple versions of DOD ICS systems. The current
DOM II DOD ICS cable has been tested and approved on over 10
different military ICS platforms. The cabled 90 degree connector
to the control box features a white band designed to interconnect
with its white receptacle counterpart on the control box. When
the cable is connected to an ICS system in a HELO, the ICS
transmissions will be received through the electronic earpieces
only. Radio reception will occur in both bone conductors and
earpieces. On the DOM II dual comm. version the radios will be
split between right and left bone conductors and earpieces while
the ICS will receive comms via both earpieces simultaneously.
The DOD ICS cable is used for DOD ICS platforms, A coyote
version is available for General Aviation ICS platforms. Please
specify, when ordering, which version(s) you need.
DOM II AUXILLIARY
COMMS CABLE
The DOM II Aux Comms cable features a 90 degree connector
with a white band inside the connector designed to mate with
its white centered counterpart receptacle on the top of the DOM
II control box. The Aux Comms cable is coiled, allowing an
operator to position his phone or other type of applicable device
easily in front of him to manipulate. The opposite end of the cable
features a 90 degree, 3.5mm connector designed to connect to
the operator’s device and rotate at the connection point as the
operator moves/manipulates the device - taking stress off the pin
that connects to the device. The cable is wired for 4 connections
so it can be used with listen only as well as receive / transmit
devices - such as smartphones. When connected to a phone,
the phone’s speaker and microphone are disabled and the DOM
II’s electronic earpieces become the phone’s receive devices
while the DOM II’s boom microphone is activated to transmit for
the phone. As opposed to a radio connection, no push to talk
switch is required to speak and release to listen. The DOM II
simply becomes a wired RX/TX optional headset for the phone.
The bone conductors are not activated as a receive device when
used with the Aux Comms cable.
DOM II RUGGEDIZED
LO-VIS KIT
The DOM II LO-VIS KIT is a ruggedized 2 wire kit featuring
stainless steel components, robust cables and fully sealed
microphone, speaker and circuitry housings. The kit was
designed with the input of U.S. Military operators to perform in
rugged environmental conditions including fresh and salt water
environs as well as dust / dirt / rain and snow. The coiled ear tube
is designed to allow the operator to connect various sizes and
brands of acoustic tube earpiece styles. The kit is terminated
with a 4 conductor male Nexus plug designed to plug into the
DOM II Peltor/Sordin transition cable.

DOM II REMOTE
CHEST MOUNT PTT
The DOMINATOR II remote chest mount push to talk was
designed for single comm. DOMINATOR II systems only.
The cable features a green banded 90 degree connector
designed to connect to its green insert counterpart on the
bottom of the DOMINATOR II control box. The opposite
end of the cable is terminated with a shrouded PTT switch
mounted to a rectangular housing measuring only 1” W
x 3/4” T x 1 1/4” L. The backside of the chest mount PTT
features a blackened steel clip designed to clip through a
single MOLLE strap
DOM II RADIO INTERFACE
CABLES
Whether for a single or dual comm. DOMINATOR II system,
all DOMINATOR radio interface cables feature 90 degree
connectors to the DOM II control box, turned 45 degrees inward,
toward the body armor. All DOM II radio cables feature a BLUE
ring inside the connector housing designed to mate with their
blue centered receptacle counterpart(s) on the DOM II control
box. As stated previously in this document, all of the DOM II
connectors feature a RED DOT on the connector housing
that mates with its RED DOT counterpart on the control box.
Simply line the dots up and push to lock the connector into the
receptacle and pull to disengage. DO NOT TURN or ROTATE
the connectors in any fashion as that could break one or more
wires inside the 90 degree and/or straight connectors - causing
non-warranty cable failure. Also remember, connectors are not
only color coded as shown throughout this manual, they are also
keyed - meaning connectors will only connect to their mating
receptacle -- in other words a blue ringed connector will not t
into a white receptacle on the control box. Multiple styles and
models of radio connectors are available. Please check directly
with our company on your distributor for further radio model
interface details.
CARE OF YOUR DOM II
COMMS SUITE
While your DOM II Comms Suite is a tactical product, care of the
headset, control box and associated cables and other accessories
should be taken. Everything associated with the DOM II is rated
IP67 against dust and water exposure/ingress - including 30
minutes maximum in water depths up to 3 feet for 30 minutes. If
exposed to saltwater, all components should be washed down
with fresh water at an operator’s earliest convenience to avoid
corrosion to metal parts. As stated numerous times throughout
this manual, the connectors and receptacles should be lined up
properly (red dot to red dot) for engaging and disengaging from
the control box -- twisting or wrenching will likely break wires
inside the sealed connector housing causing non-warranty
failures. The protective caps on the control box receptacles
should be pushed into the receptacles, providing a seal,
when not being utilized to prevent unnecessary dust and dirt
intrusion. Both control box receptacles and their cable connector
counterparts should periodically be blown out with pressurized/
canned air to remove dust and other forms of debris. Your
earpiece tips should be replaced periodically to maintain
proper t and seal. Field replaceable components include the
headset adjustable rear strap, microphone windscreen, headset
sidepiece inner cushions, control box MOLLE holder, rubber
receptacle covers and earpiece tips.
