The Viking Electronics VK-LDB-3 is an Advanced Loop Detector designed to monitor an analog phone line for ringing or an off-hook condition. It provides a contact closure during these events, enabling integration with other systems. This device is suitable for businesses that require automated responses or visual indications based on phone line status, such as triggering security cameras, strobe lights, or "in use" indicators. It addresses the need for reliable detection and signaling in environments like emergency call stations, security monitoring, or general facility management. The unit features three DIP switches for configurable ring and off-hook detection, including a selectable ring cadence mode. A disable input allows for specific use cases, such as preventing relay activation during "Info" calls from two-button emergency phones like Viking's E-1600-20A. The LDB-3 includes a 12 VDC power adapter and offers a switched 12VDC output to power external devices.
The LDB-3 is designed to detect both ring voltage and off-hook loop current on an analog phone line. These conditions can be individually enabled or disabled via DIP switches.
The LDB-3 comes complete with a 12 VDC power adapter and foam tape for wall mounting. Screws for mounting are not included.
Yes, the LDB-3 features a disable input specifically designed for use with two-button emergency phones, such as Viking's E-1600-20A. This allows "Info" button calls to be placed without activating the relay.
The LDB-3 provides one set of normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) relay contacts, allowing for flexible integration with various control systems and devices.
