I. Introduction

Model ETP-EL12/24 is a 12-24VDC/24VAC outdoor-rated combination blue light and strobe. The blue light is lit at
all times to draw attention to the location. The strobe can be activated by Talk-A-Phone emergency phones or by
third party devices that provide a dry contact closure or relay output. ETP-EL12/24 has a low power mode setting
for use in applications where power consumption is an important consideration.

II. Power requirements

ETP-EL12/24: 10-30VDC / 20-28VAC, 7.5 Watts, 1.5 Watts low power steady mode (18A peak inrush)

III. Mounting

If installing the blue light strobe in a Talk-A-Phone phone mount, such as an ETP-MT mounting tower, follow the
instructions included with that mount. Alternatively, remotely mount the blue light strobe to a 4” square conduit
box using an ETP-MBKT mounting bracket. Screws are included with the mount or bracket.

IV. Wiring

The ETP-EL12/24 blue light strobe (polycarbonate base) can be connected to either the 12-24VDC or the 24VAC
output voltage of the power source (shown in Figure 1). The ETP-EL12/24 blue light strobe (aluminum base) can
be connected to either the 12-24VDC or the 24VAC output voltage of the power source, while grounding the white
wire (shown in Figure 2).
