Telecor's eLD1 is a network-based LED strobe that will illuminate for the duration of an announcement being broadcast over the eSeries communications system. It is used in conjunction with eSeries speakers and message/clock displays to quickly alert building occupants to the announcement in progress. It is ideal for use in environments where high ambient noise makes announcements difficult to hear.
The eLD1 uses Power-over-Ethernet technology, Just Plug It In!™ design, and a decentralized network structure to ensure easy wiring and simplified network planning. The use of Power-over-Ethernet technology allows the eLD1 to be plugged into a PoE network switch to supply both power and data. The simplicity of Telecor's Just Plug It In!™ design means the eLD1 does not require any network configuration or administration, eliminating IP address and DHCP server requirements. The decentralized network structure means no head end, central server or controller equipment is required to operate the network.
The eLD1 can be configured to illuminate in up to 4 colors (white, red, green or blue) with various flash patterns. Patterns can be set to activate based on defined conditions. For example, an Emergency Announcement can be assigned one flash pattern and color, while a routine announcement can be assigned another pattern with a different color. The eLD1s can be assigned to a single zone, multiple zones or to a single device addressed by dial number. Activation can be by placing an intercom call to a room station with an associated eLD1, a broadcast of a paging announcement into a zone or by an activation of an alarm event such as Lockdown. The eLD1 will illuminate for the duration of the announcement or event.
When the eLD1 is installed in locations with an associated eS8-TB Talkback Speaker, eSBM-TB Breakout Module or e365-TB Message Display/Calendar Clock, both the eLD1 and the associated device can be supported by a single Ethernet drop.
