Wire an Intercom to a Blue Light Tower

Wire your TD52 or TD53 into a bluelight emergency phone tower

The TD52 and TD53 can be used as an emergency phone on blue light poles or wall-mounted emergency stations. These poles and wall mounts generally include strobe lights, which should activate during a call.

Installation

This guide includes wiring instructions for a GC31-E cellular gateway and a context camera. In this setup, the GC31-E bridges the LAN, intercom, and context camera. If the LAN fails, the gateway automatically switches to LTE, ensuring continued operation.

TD53

Deployment with GC31-E

1

Wire the control leads for the blue light strobe into Output 2 (on the back of the intercom).

Note: Output 2 is automatically configured to trigger during a call when the intercom is configured as an emergency phone. See Configure your Intercom as an Emergency Phone for more information.

2

Wire Ethernet from the intercom Ethernet port to one of the two GC31-E LAN ports.

3

Wire Ethernet from the camera into the unused GC31-E LAN ports.

4

Wire the WAN port of the GC31-E into the network.

Deployment without GC31-E

1

Wire the control leads for the blue light strobe into Output 2 (on the back of the intercom).

Note: Output 2 is automatically configured to trigger during a call when the intercom is configured as an emergency phone. See Configure your Intercom as an Emergency Phone for more information.

2

Wire Ethernet from the intercom Ethernet port into the network.

3

Wire Ethernet from the camera into the network.
