Description
When someone needs help right away—in a parking garage, on a college campus, or at an ATM—they shouldn’t have to hunt for a phone or worry if it will work in the rain. The Viking E-1600A-TP2-EWP gives them a tough, reliable way to call for assistance with one push of a button.
This two-button emergency phone is a direct drop-in replacement for Talk-A-Phone units. It works on any standard analog phone line and meets strict ADA rules so everyone can use it easily. The built-in Enhanced Weather Protection (EWP) makes it ideal for outdoor or wet locations where rain, snow, or condensation is common.
Expert Take: Highly recommended for any site that needs ADA compliance and reliable outdoor performance. Pair it with a Viking strobe light for even better visibility.
