Description
Tired of phones that can’t handle the real world? The Viking K-1900-712L-EWP is built for tough environments where regular phones fail fast.
Lift the heavy-duty handset and it instantly auto-dials your programmed number – no buttons to push, no delays. The short 12-inch armored cable with built-in stainless steel lanyard stops vandals from yanking or cutting the cord, while the marine-grade 316 stainless steel faceplate and Enhanced Weather Protection (EWP) let you install it outdoors in rain, snow, or condensing humidity without worry.
Ideal for gate entry systems, parking garages, loading docks, kiosks, ATMs, emergency call points, and noisy industrial areas. It works on standard analog phone lines or PBX extensions and needs no batteries or extra power.
Our take: If you’re replacing leased ringdown circuits or installing emergency phones where vandalism or weather is a concern, this model delivers rock-solid performance without complicated VoIP setup. It’s line-powered, so it keeps working even during power outage. When mounting outdoors, always use the optional Viking VE-5x10 surface mount box for extra protection on the back side and run the cable entry from the bottom to prevent water intrusion.
