Description
When someone needs help right away, every second counts. The Viking E-1600-YL-IPEWP is a bright yellow, compact VoIP emergency phone built for tough outdoor and indoor spots. It gives clear, hands-free communication over your SIP VoIP system without any push-to-talk hassle.
This phone is fully ADA compliant, lights up a “Call Connected” LED when help is on the way, and can automatically announce the exact location so responders know where to go. Its Enhanced Weather Protection (EWP) keeps it working through rain, snow, and temperature swings from -40°F to 140°F. Powered by PoE, it’s simple to install and super reliable for parking garages, elevators, pools, campuses, and public areas.
The Telecom Spot Expert Review
What we love:
- The bright yellow finish stands out so people can find it quickly.
- Automatic Noise Canceling (ANC) cuts through traffic noise or wind for crystal-clear calls.
- No batteries needed—everything stays in non-volatile memory.
- The built-in 2-amp relay lets you trigger a door, gate, or strobe light automatically.
- Setup is straightforward with the included programming software, and you can manage it remotely.
Real-world tip from our team: In outdoor installs, add a small bead of clear silicone caulk along the top and sides for extra protection (Viking even recommends it). Also, test the microphone, speaker, and relay diagnostics right after install—it only takes a minute and gives you confidence the unit is ready.
