Ideal for Use with Two-Button Emergency
Phones!
The LDB-3 Advanced Loop Detector monitors an
analog phone line for ringing and/or an off hook
condition. A built-in relay can be activated when ei-
ther of these conditions are detected. This is ideal
for monitoring line status or for providing a visual
indication of such.
The LDB-3's disable input is ideal for two-button
emergency phones, such as Viking's E-1600-20A,
allowing "Info" button calls to be placed without ac-
tivating 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 al-
lows the relay to follow ringing or to remain acti-
Features
• Detects ring voltage and off hook loop current
• On/off switches for ring detection and off-
hook/loop detection
• Screw terminal connections
• Selectable ring cadence mode (relay can re-
main on between rings)
• Wall mountable with foam tape (included)
orscrews (not included)
• Switched 12V DC output (follows relay activa-
tion for powering strobe lights, cameras, etc.)
• One set of (NO) normally open or (NC) nor-
mally closed relay contacts provided
• Disable input, ideal for use with two-button
emergency phones (E-1600-20A), will not acti-
vate relay on "Info" calls, see DOD# 215 for
more information on the E-1600-20A
