Description
Need a tough, no-nonsense entry phone that can take a beating and keep working? The Viking K-1700-3 delivers clear handsfree communication from a vandal-resistant stainless steel housing built for high-traffic, high-risk locations.
This wall-mount entry phone features a 14-gauge louvered stainless steel faceplate, a stainless steel speaker and mic screen, and a heavy-duty metal keypad and call button — all designed to stand up to abuse in parking garages, apartment buildings, schools, and industrial facilities. A yellow "in use" LED gives visitors instant visual confirmation that their call is connected, while independent volume adjustments for both the microphone and speaker let you dial in crystal-clear audio for any environment.
Installation is straightforward with the included zinc-plated steel rough-in box featuring two 3/4" conduit knockouts, and an optional VE-6x7 surface mount box is available if flush mounting isn't an option. Advanced call progress detection keeps the line clean by automatically disconnecting on busy signals, reorder tones, return to dial tone, or after a selectable maximum call time — no stuck calls, no wasted line time.
Our Expert Take: The K-1700-3 is a smart pick for property managers and facility teams who need a reliable entry phone that won't get damaged or defeated by heavy daily use. The selectable VOX switching speed and silence time-out give you real flexibility for noisy lobbies or outdoor vestibules where background noise can fool lesser units. If you need keypad access control in addition to the entry phone function, this unit's built-in keypad makes it easy to expand your setup without adding separate hardware.
