Talk-a-Phone Emergency Tower
The trio of ETP-400 models stand just over 10 feet high, and roughly a foot wide and deep. The tower features three highly visible LED illuminated signs that can display critical information relayed to them — pre-programmed locally or sent remotely via a network connection. Its emergency phone is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and is integrated with what the company calls WEBS, or Wide-Area Emergency Broadcast System, which includes concealed, high-power speakers for 360º audio coverage, and the ability to broadcast audio messages to towers individually, in selected groups, or all simultaneously.
The blue light strobe mounted atop each model is continuously lit. Once the "Emergency" button is pushed or a remote guard calls in to the emergency phone, the strobe starts flashing while LED signage automatically changes to attract attention. Model ETP-400 has a standard red "Emergency" button, while ETP-400D has additionally has a black "Info" button to allow two different types of locations to be called. The ETP-400K has a red "Emergency" button as well as a black "Call" button that allows access to the built-in keypad. Options allow infrared and wireless networking.
