Description
Need an analog entry phone that handles both keypad code entry and proximity card access in a single rugged stainless steel unit? The Viking K-1770-3 combines the vandal-resistant K-1700-3 platform with a built-in Wiegand proximity card reader, giving you flexible multi-method access control on a standard telephone line.
The 14-gauge louvered stainless steel faceplate, stainless steel call button, heavy-duty metal keypad, and T-10 Torx security screws are built for high-traffic installations. Users can gain access via proximity card or keypad code, and the onboard relay fires the door strike or gate automatically on a valid credential. Call progress detection handles busy signals, reorder tones, and timeouts automatically. Volume controls for both mic and speaker let you dial in audio quality for any environment.
Our Expert Take: The K-1770-3 is the right choice for analog (POTS) installations that need proximity card access without moving to a VoIP system. For new deployments on SIP networks, the K-1770-IP is the direct VoIP upgrade. For weather-exposed locations, the K-1770-3-EWP adds enhanced weather protection.
