Description
When a visitor, tenant, or building occupant needs help fast, the Viking E-1600-30A delivers reliable, handsfree emergency communication without requiring batteries, external power, or complicated setup.
This ADA compliant emergency phone features a rugged stainless steel flush mount housing and is powered entirely by the phone line itself, so there are no batteries to replace and no power outlets to hunt down. A Grade 2 Braille label assists visually impaired users, while the non-volatile digital voice announcer broadcasts up to 16 seconds of pre-recorded location information the moment a call connects. Advanced call progress detection means the unit knows exactly when to hang up — whether it detects a busy signal, dial tone, CPC, silence, or a Touch Tone command — keeping the line available for the next call.
The E-1600-30A works equally well in elevators, parking garages, stairwells, and public corridors. It can dial up to five programmable emergency numbers and two central station monitoring numbers, cycling through backups automatically on busy or no-answer. Remote programming from any touch-tone phone keeps ongoing maintenance simple, and the optional PB-100 Polling System adds centralized monitoring capability for larger facilities.
Our Expert Take: The E-1600-30A is a dependable, no-fuss choice for facilities that need ADA compliance and central station monitoring in a clean stainless steel flush mount package. The non-volatile E2 memory is a practical advantage in buildings where power fluctuations are common — your programming stays put no matter what. If your installation is in a harsher outdoor environment exposed to rain or extreme moisture, consider the EWP variant for added weather protection; for strictly indoor or protected locations, the E-1600-30A covers everything you need.
