Description
When you need a reliable entry phone that can take whatever the weather throws at it, the Viking E-20B-EWP delivers two-way handsfree communication in a tough, surface-mount housing built to handle rain, dust, and everything in between.
Constructed from impact resistant, UV stable light grey Geloy plastic, this entry phone is designed to meet the IP66 ingress protection rating through Viking's Enhanced Weather Protection (EWP) standard — making it a solid fit for outdoor entrances, parking structures, gated facilities, and anywhere exposure to the elements is a daily reality. It runs entirely off the telephone line with no separate power supply needed, keeping installation clean and straightforward.
The E-20B-EWP handles calls intelligently on its own, automatically hanging up on busy signals, silence, CPC, or timeout so lines don't stay tied up. Adjustable microphone and speaker volume, programmable VOX switching speed, and a selectable auto-answer feature for remote monitoring give you fine-tuned control without added complexity.
Our Expert Take: The E-20B-EWP is a smart pick when budget and weather resistance both matter. The Geloy plastic chassis holds up to UV exposure without fading or cracking over time, which is a real advantage over standard ABS housings in sunny or high-humidity climates. If your installation requires flush mounting or a stainless steel faceplate, look at Viking's stainless steel EWP entry phone options — but for surface mount applications where durability and clean looks are the priority, this unit is hard to beat.
