Description
When you need a dependable handsfree phone that stands up to harsh weather, heavy use, and the occasional act of vandalism, the Viking K-1700-3-EWP delivers rugged reliability with the enhanced weather protection your installation demands.
Built around a 14-gauge louvered stainless steel faceplate with stainless steel speaker and mic screen, this phone is engineered to take a beating and keep working. The heavy-duty metal keypad and Call button resist tampering and abuse, while NEMA-rated enhanced weather protection keeps moisture and the elements out. A yellow "in use" LED gives clear visual feedback, and volume controls for both the microphone and speaker let you dial in audio quality for any environment.
From transit stations and parking structures to industrial facilities and campus emergency call points, the K-1700-3-EWP fits anywhere you need a code-compliant, all-weather handsfree phone. 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 when flush mounting isn't an option.
Our Expert Take: What sets the K-1700-3-EWP apart from a basic handsfree phone is its advanced call progress detection. It automatically disconnects on a busy signal, return to dial tone, CPC reorder tone, or when the selectable silence or maximum call time threshold is reached — which matters enormously in unattended public installations where a stuck or forgotten call could block the line for the next person who genuinely needs it. If your location sees heavy foot traffic or is fully exposed to rain and temperature swings, the enhanced weather protection and NEMA compliance here make this the right call over a standard indoor unit.
