Talkaphone ETP-EL12/24 12/24VDC LED Blue Light – Outdoor Beacon with Continuous Illumination and Triggered Flash
The Talkaphone ETP-EL12/24 is a rugged, outdoor-rated LED blue light beacon designed to draw immediate attention to critical locations such as entrances, call points, and safety zones. This model operates on 12/24VDC and is engineered to stay continuously lit for high visibility, while also flashing when activated by any Talkaphone call station or compatible third-party device that provides a dry contact closure or relay output. Built to withstand tough outdoor conditions, the ETP-EL12/24 provides reliable signaling that enhances safety, wayfinding, and incident response across commercial, educational, and municipal environments. If you need a dependable, integration-friendly signaling beacon that combines constant visibility with responsive flash signaling, this LED blue light is a smart choice for your signaling ecosystem.
- Consistent, high-visibility blue illumination to attract attention day or night. The LED beacon remains continuously lit to mark locations, doors, or perimeters where signage and staff need quick identification. This steady glow helps occupants and visitors orient themselves, reducing confusion in emergency or high‑traffic scenarios. The reliable LED technology offers long life and low heat generation, contributing to lower maintenance intervals and operational costs over time.
- Flashing alert when triggered by Talkaphone stations or third-party devices with dry contact closures or relay outputs. The ETP-EL12/24 seamlessly transitions from constant illumination to a flashing sequence upon activation, providing an unmistakable visual cue that an alert or call has been initiated. This dual signaling capability improves response times for security personnel, operators, and on-site staff by clearly highlighting the source of the notification.
- Dual-voltage compatibility for flexible installations. Operating at 12/24VDC, this light can be integrated with a wide range of power supplies and existing Talkaphone systems, reducing the need for multiple adapters or converters. The flexibility of the voltage range simplifies retrofits and new installations alike, enabling teams to standardize on a single signaling solution across multiple sites.
- Outdoor-ready and built for harsh environments. The ETP-EL12/24 is designed to endure weather exposure, temperature variations, and outdoor operating conditions. Its rugged construction supports installation in entryways, exterior walls, parking areas, loading docks, and other exterior spaces where a clear visual beacon is essential for safety and communication.
- Easy integration with Talkaphone and third-party signaling networks. By supporting dry contact closures and relay outputs, this blue light plugs into existing warning systems, calling stations, and automation interfaces without complex programming. The result is a cohesive signaling landscape where audible alerts and visual cues work in tandem to guide people to safety or information points.

How to install Talkaphone ETP-EL12/24
- Plan the installation location to maximize visibility and ensure the beacon is within reach of notification devices and power sources. Verify the outdoor mounting surface is suitable for supporting the beacon’s weight and strain from environmental exposure.
- Power considerations: Confirm a stable 12/24VDC power supply that matches the beacon’s voltage requirements. If you are upgrading from a different signaling device, ensure wiring compatibility and adequacy of the power circuit to handle the LED load without tripping breakers.
- Connect the beacon to the signaling system: Wire the 12/24VDC power input and the dry contact/relay output lines from the Talkaphone station or compatible third-party device. Ensure proper polarity where applicable and maintain secure, weatherproof connections using appropriate enclosure gaskets or junction boxes as needed.
- Mount the beacon: Secure the unit to its mounting surface with weatherproof fasteners. Take care to seal any penetrations to prevent water ingress, and position the beacon for optimal line of sight to occupants and visitors in the intended area.
- Test the system: Restore power and perform a test by activating the Talkaphone station or the relay output. Confirm that the light remains continuously lit and that it flashes precisely during activation. Observe the beacon from multiple angles and distances to ensure visibility under various lighting conditions.
- Maintenance and safety: Periodically inspect the wiring and enclosure for signs of wear, corrosion, or moisture. Clean the lens surface to maintain maximum light output, and replace any components showing signs of degradation according to your facility’s maintenance schedule.
