COMMUNICATION & SECURITY SOLUTIONS

Provide LED Strobe / Beacon

Visual Indication of Line Status

Features

The BLK-4 provides high visibility indication of analog line

status through a high powered 360º LED strobe and/or

beacon visual indicator. The BLK-4 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-4 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 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 with-

out activating the relay (turning on the emergency strobe

light, camera, etc.) Four DIP switches are provided for

turning ring detection on or off, off-hook/loop detection on

or off, 12VDC or dry relay contact output and for selecting

a ring cadence mode which allows the relay to follow ring-

ing 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

strobe can be interfaced to flash on ringing, off-hook or a

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

The BLK-4 is designed for indoor applications. The BLK-

4-EWP is equipped with Enhanced Weather Protection

(EWP) for outdoor installations where the unit is exposed

to precipitation or condensation. For more information,

see DOD# 859.

The kit includes: (1) control module, (1) SL-2/SL-2-EWP

blue LED strobe light, (1) 12V DC power adapter, (16) gel-

filled butt connectors and (1) single gang weatherproof

mounting box with gaskets and hardware.

• BLK-4-EWP’s control module and strobe light come

with Enhanced Weather Protection (EWP), EWP prod-

ucts are designed to meet IP66 Ingress Protection

Rating, see DOD# 859

tings

• Flush mount or surface mount with weatherproof sin-

gle 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, a com-

bination of both ringing and off-hook (line in-use), or

triggered from a contact closure

• 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

• Ringing Phone or TTY indication for the hearing im-

paired

• Ringing phone indication in loud warehouses and fac-

tories

OFF ON Off-Hook/Loop Current Detection Only (see section B). ON ON Ring and Off-Hook/Loop Current Detection (see section B). Switch 2 Ring Cadence Mode (see section C) ON Ring Cadence Mode ON - relay remains activated in between rings. OFF Ring Cadence Mode OFF - relay is activated only during ringing.
PAGE 5
C. Ring Cadence Mode DIP switch 2 is used for switching between different ring detection modes. In the OFF position, the relay and switched 12VDC output will activate only while ring voltage is present and will turn off between rings. In the ON position, the relay and switched 12VDC output will remain on for up to 5.75 seconds after the ringing has stopped. This allows the relay and 12VDC (flashing strobe light) to remain on between rings of a standard ring cadence.

Programming the SL-2 Strobe / Beacon The SL-2 can be user programmed as a Beacon only, Strobe only or Beacon/Strobe. The brightness setting can be programmed separately for the Strobe or Beacon and one of 4 different Flash Patterns can be programmed for the Strobe (See Strobe Flash Patterns, section D). Note: The SL-2 is factory default programmed as a steady on beacon with a single flash strobe when activated. The beacon and strobe are set to their brightest settings.

Applications Mounting the BLK-4 with the E-1600-20A The BLK-4 can be used in conjunction with the E-1600-20A Two-Button Emergency Phone as shown to the far right, however, special installation and mounting is required. Please follow the steps below when using the BLK-4 in conjunction with a surface-mounted E-160020A. A VE-5x5 surface-mount box is required, see DOD# 424. Step 1. Drill or use a knockout punch to provide a .875” diameter hole in the top of the VE-5x5. Step 2. Make all conduit connections.
