Description
Need a simple, reliable way for visitors to reach someone inside without running extra power wiring? The Viking E-20B is a telephone line powered surface mount entry phone that handles two-way handsfree communication right out of the box using only your existing phone line.
Built into a light gray, impact resistant, UV stable plastic chassis, the E-20B includes a thoughtful set of weather resistant features — a mylar speaker, gaskets, an internally sealed push button switch, UV stable exterior, and an enamel coated PCB — making it a solid choice for covered entryways, building lobbies, gated facilities, and light outdoor use. The alternate action call button lets visitors place or cancel a call with a single press, while intelligent call progress detection automatically hangs up on CPC, silence, busy signal, or timeout so lines never stay tied up unnecessarily.
Setup and adjustment are straightforward. Microphone and speaker volume are both adjustable, call length is programmable, and a selectable auto-answer feature allows remote monitoring when needed. If your location demands even greater weather resistance, the E-20B is also available with optional Enhanced Weather Protection (EWP).
Our Expert Take: The E-20B is a great fit for budget-conscious installations where you want proven entry phone functionality without the cost of PoE infrastructure or external power supplies. Because it runs entirely off the telephone line, it keeps wiring simple and installation fast. Keep in mind this unit is surface mount only, so plan your enclosure accordingly — and if the installation faces direct rain exposure or harsh elements, strongly consider the EWP upgrade version for added peace of mind.
