Description
Provide fast, ADA compliant handsfree emergency communication in a compact black finish at elevators, lobbies, parking ramps, and areas of refuge — the Viking E-1600-BKA connects to any standard analog phone line, requires no batteries, and delivers clear one-button emergency calls.
Press the Help button and the E-1600-BKA automatically dials up to 5 emergency numbers, cycles through backups on busy or no-answer, plays a 16-second non-volatile voice announcement identifying the location, and lights the Call Connected LED. ADA compliant with Grade 2 Braille labels. Telephone line powered — no external power supply required. Automatic Noise Canceling ensures clear calls even in noisy mechanical rooms and busy lobbies.
Our Expert Take: The E-1600-BKA is the black-housing version of the standard stainless E-1600 emergency phone — the right choice when black hardware matches the installation environment, such as modern office lobbies and contemporary mixed-use buildings. For VoIP networks, the E-1600-BK-IP is the SIP upgrade. For outdoor use, the E-1600-BK-IPEWP adds EWP protection.
