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 equal-
ly well in loud warehouses or factories, where ringing phones can not be
heard. Alternatively, the BLK-3-EWP can be used to add emergency noti-
fication 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

Protection (EWP) included
• 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

off, off-hook/loop detection on or off and for selecting a ring cadence mode which allows the relay to fol-
low ringing or to remain activated during the off time of standard ring cadence.

2. Loop/Off-hook Indication Only
The LDB-3 control module must be placed between the phone line and the phone/terminal device to be monitored. Connect the
incoming line to the red and green wires with the yellow stripe and connect the phone/terminal device to the brown and gray
wires as shown.
3. Both Ring and Loop/Off-hook Indication
If the application requires ring and loop/off-hook indication, the LDB-3 control module must be placed between the phone line
and the phone/terminal device to be monitored. Connect the incoming line to the red and green wires with the yellow stripe, con-
nect the phone/terminal device to the brown and gray wires.
1. Ring Indication Only
Connect the incoming line to the red and green wires with the yellow stripe as shown in the diagram. No phone/terminal device
is required. The LDB-3 control module can monitor for ringing any place along the ringing line.

C. Ring Cadence Mode
DIP switch 2is 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. Note: To use the Ring
Cadence Mode, ring detection MUST be enabled (DIP switch 1- ON).

Due to the dynamic nature of the product design, the information contained in this document is subject to change without notice. Viking Electronics, and its affiliates and/or subsidiaries
assume no responsibility for errors and omissions contained in this information. Revisions of this document or new editions of it may be issued to incorporate such changes.

When the LDB-3 control module detects an incoming ring signal, it activates a set of normally open or normally closed
contacts and turns on the 12VDC output for activating the provided strobe light. With the Ring Cadence mode off (DIP
switch 2 OFF), the relay will activate and the strobe light will flash only during ringing. With the Ring Cadence mode
ON (DIP switch 2 ON), the relay will remain activated and the strobe light will remain flashing between rings.
A. Ring Indication (DIP Switch 1 ON)
When the LDB-3 control module detects an off-hook condition (loop current) on the brown and gray wires, it activates
a set of normally open or normally closed contacts and turns on the 12VDC output for activating the provided strobe
light. The relay contacts will remain activated and the blue strobe light will flash during the off-hook condition and will
stop flashing approximately 3 seconds after the phone/terminal device on the brown and gray wires is back on-hook.

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.
Step 3. Make all wire connections to the LDB-3 control module.
Step 4. Install the E-1600-20A as explained in its Technical Practice, Fax Back Document 215.
The BLK-3-EWP 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-3-EWP in conjunction with a surface-mounted E-1600-20A.
A VE-5x5 surface-mount box is required.

F. Disable Feature
By connecting the Disable/Info Switch input of the LDB-3 control mod-
ule to the “Info” switch of Viking’s E-1600-20A, E-1600-20A-EWP, E-
1600-52A or E-1600-52A-EWP Emergency Phone, any outbound call
initiated from the “Info” button will not activate the strobe light. This
way, only the “Help/Emergency” outbound calls will activate the relay.
Cut one of the “Info” switch wires in half and connect each end to the
blue wires on the LDB-3 control module as shown in the diagram at
the right. Note: This Disable input is NOT polarity sensitive.
The “Disable” input can be connected to a switch for remotely dis-
abling/turning off the device (strobe light, camera, etc.) controlled by
the LDB-3. For more information, retrieve Fax Back Document 866.

D. Relay Contacts
Normally open and normally closed relay contacts are available on the orange, purple and yellow wires. The contacts
are rated at .5A @ 125VAC/1A @ 30VDC. If contacts are driving an inductive load, place a suppression device at the
load to snub high voltage spikes.
E. Switched 12V DC Output
The switched 12V DC output is a low current, 12-15VDC output that is turned on only while the ring/loop detect relay
is activated. This switched power output is ideal for lighting the included strobe light or providing 12-15V DC power to
any device that draws less than 350mAmps. The positive side is available on the red wire, and the negative side is on
the black wire. Once all the line and load connections have been made, plug in the 115 V AC wall adapter, and replace
the cover.
