Description
When a building emergency strikes, the Viking E-1600-50A-EWP parts kit gives you everything you need to deploy or restore a reliable, ADA compliant handsfree emergency phone with Enhanced Weather Protection already built in.
This parts kit is designed around the proven E-1600 emergency phone platform, delivering phone line powered handsfree operation with no batteries required and non-volatile memory that holds your programming even through power interruptions. The Enhanced Weather Protection meets IP66 ingress protection standards, making it a solid choice for outdoor ramps, parking structures, building entrances, and any location exposed to rain, snow, or condensation. It dials up to five programmed emergency numbers and automatically cycles through backups on busy or no-answer, so help is always just one button press away.
Built to satisfy ADA requirements, the unit automatically lights the "Call Connected" LED for the hearing impaired, includes a Grade 2 Braille label for the visually impaired, and transmits a unique location ID code or 16-second digital voice announcement so responders know exactly where to go. Optional accessories like the BLK-3-EWP strobe light kit and PB-100 Polling System give facility managers even more flexibility for monitoring and alerting.
Our Expert Take: The E-1600-50A-EWP is an excellent choice when you need to repair, upgrade, or stock spare components for an existing E-1600 installation without replacing the entire enclosure. The IP66-rated EWP design handles harsh outdoor conditions where standard units would fall short, and the extended -15°F to 130°F operating range covers most North American climates year-round. If you need a fully assembled ready-to-mount unit instead, look at the E-1600A-EWP, or for high-visibility tower installations, the E-1600A-BLT-EWP tall tower model is worth considering.
