Viking Electronics BLK-3-EWP Blue Line Status Strobe Light Kit with EWP For Ring/Loop Detection
The BLK-3-EWP provides high visibility indication of analog line status through a high powered one million candle power strobe light. The BLK-3- EWP is the ideal solution for the hearing impaired and can be used equally well in loud warehouses or factories, where ringing phones can not be heard. Alternatively, the BLK-3-EWP can be used to add emergency notification to pre-existing emergency phones by turning on the strobe light when the emergency phone is in use.
The included LDB-3 control module has a disable input which is ideal for two-button emergency phones, such as Viking’s E-1600-20A, allowing "Info" button calls to be placed without activating the relay (turning on the emergency strobe light, camera, etc.) Three DIP switches are provided for turning ring detection on or off, off-hook/loop detection on or off and for selecting a ring cadence mode which allows the relay to follow ringing or to remain activated during the off time of standard ring cadence.
The control module can be installed on any standard telephone line or analog PABX/KSU station. The 1 million candle power strobe can be interfaced to flash on ringing, off-hook or a combination of ringing and off-hook (line in-use). The LDB-3 ring/loop detect control module is also available separately.
The kit includes: (1) LDB-3 control module, (1) blue strobe light, (1) 12V DC power adapter, (13) gel filled butt connectors and (1) single gang weatherproof mounting box with gaskets and hardware.
EWP products feature weather-sealed trim pots and DIP switches, a special rubber microphone boot and a mylar speaker with a rubber gasket acting as a primary shield against water penetration. If required, face plate gaskets are provided to further eliminate water infiltration. All connections are hand soldered to eliminate corrosion, and the connections at the push button switch, microphone, and "Call Connected" LED are also hand sealed using a special non-corrosive electronics grade flexible silicone sealant. The entire circuit board is "potted" in a flexible urethane encapsulating material, leaving the weather sealed field-adjustable trim pots and DIP switches accessible for on-site programming. The flexible urethane sealant allows the circuit board and its components to expand and contract, while maintaining weather resistance. To protect the tip and ring connections, special connectors filled with anti-corrosive sealing gel are included
