Description
Need the brains of a Viking emergency phone without the enclosure? The Viking E-1600-50A is a board-only parts kit that gives you full ADA compliant emergency phone functionality — voice announcer, call detection, and relay logic — ready to drop into your own housing or replacement project.
This is the same proven circuit board found inside Viking's E-1600 series emergency phones, delivering handsfree operation, non-volatile 16-second digital voice memory, and advanced call progress detection — all powered directly from the phone line with no batteries required. It dials up to 5 emergency numbers, cycles through backups on busy or no-answer, and can automatically light the "Call Connected" LED to meet ADA requirements for the hearing impaired. A Grade 2 Braille label and unique location ID code or voice announcement round out full ADA compliance.
Whether you're replacing a damaged board, building a custom installation, or integrating emergency phone capability into an existing enclosure, the E-1600-50A gives you the flexibility to do it your way. Viking offers 9 different chassis and board-only configurations in the E-1600 series, so you can match the right hardware to your exact application.
Our Expert Take: The E-1600-50A is ideal for facilities managers and integrators who already have a compliant enclosure in place or who are retrofitting emergency phone capability into a custom cabinet. Because it shares its core feature set with the full E-1600 series, you get the same reliable call cycling, remote programmability, and extended -15°F to 130°F operating range without paying for a chassis you don't need. If you need a complete ready-to-mount unit instead, look at the standard E-1600A or the E-1600A-EWP for outdoor or weather-exposed locations.
