Description
When a building visitor, elevator passenger, or pedestrian needs help fast, the Viking E-1600A-TP-EWP delivers instant handsfree emergency communication that works without batteries, without complicated setup, and without missing a beat in harsh weather conditions.
Designed specifically for Talk-A-Phone applications, this ADA compliant emergency phone mounts in elevators, parking garages, outdoor walkways, and public spaces where reliable one-touch access to help is required by code and by conscience. It connects directly to a standard phone line, draws power from the line itself, and automatically dials up to five programmed emergency numbers the moment someone activates it. If the first number is busy or goes unanswered, it cycles through backups automatically — no fumbling, no waiting, no missed calls.
The Enhanced Weather Protection design meets IP66 ingress protection standards, so rain, snow, humidity, and condensation are not a concern. High-visibility construction and vandal-resistant materials mean it holds up in the toughest real-world environments, while the built-in 12VDC switched output lets you trigger a strobe light simultaneously for added visual alerting.
Our Expert Take: The E-1600A-TP-EWP is a strong choice for any facility manager or safety director who needs a single unit that checks every ADA box while standing up to genuine outdoor exposure. The 16-second non-volatile voice announcer is especially useful for large campuses or multi-building complexes where identifying the exact location of a caller can save critical response time. If your installation does not require Talk-A-Phone compatibility, the standard E-1600A-EWP covers the same weather protection and ADA features at a slightly smaller footprint — but for TP panel integration, this is the correct unit.
