Ideal for Use with Two-Button Emergency Phones!

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 detec-
tion 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 can-
dle 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, see 

DOD# 409

for more information.

The 

BLK-3-EWP

is equipped with Enhanced Weather Protection (

EWP

) for outdoor installations where the unit is

exposed to precipitation or condensation.  EWP products feature foam rubber gaskets and boots, sealed connec-
tions, gel-filled butt connectors, as well as urethane or thermal plastic potted circuit boards with internally sealed,
field-adjustable trim pots and DIP switches for easy on-site programming. For more information, see

DOD# 859

.

The kit includes: (1) 

LDB-3

control module, (1) blue strobe light, (1) 12V DC power adapter, (13) gel-filled butt con-

nectors and (1) single gang weatherproof mounting box with gaskets and hardware.

•  

LDB-3

control module comes with Enhanced Weather 

Protection (EWP), EWP products are designed to meet IP66 
Ingress Protection Rating, see 

DOD# 859

•  Durable polycarbonate lens

•  Long life 1 million candle power blue strobe light 

•  Flush mount or surface mount with weatherproof 

single gang box (included)

•  3/4” knockouts for connecting conduit, etc.

•  Strobe and control module may be installed separately 

•  Can be configured to signal: ringing, off-hook, or a 

combination of both ringing and off-hook (line in-use)

•  One set of (NO) normally open and (NC) normally

closed relay contacts provided

•  Selectable ring cadence mode (strobe light will remain 

flashing between rings)

•  Switched 12V DC output (follows relay activation for 

powering strobe lights, cameras, etc.)

•  On/off switches for ring detection and off-hook/loop detection

•  Disable input, ideal for use with two-button emergency phones 

like Viking’s 

E-1600-20A 

(

DOD# 215

), will not activate strobe 

light on “Info” calls
