Description
Provide instant assistance calls with a high-visibility tower phone at outdoor facilities, transit stops, and public areas — the Viking E-1600A-AST-EWP is a yellow assistance tower phone with a high-power LED strobe beacon and Enhanced Weather Protection built for demanding outdoor environments.
One press of the large Help button instantly connects to up to 5 programmable assistance numbers while the high-power LED strobe activates to help staff locate the caller quickly. The non-volatile digital voice announcer identifies the caller's location automatically. Built on telephone line power with no separate power supply required (strobe uses included AC adapter), the unit stays operational even during power events. Enhanced Weather Protection rated to IP66 handles rain, snow, and high humidity. The high-visibility yellow powder-coated aluminum tower with 316 stainless steel phone panel is built for long-term outdoor exposure. ADA compliant with Grade 2 Braille labels and a Call Connected LED.
Our Expert Take: The E-1600A-AST-EWP is designed for assistance applications — helping staff reach a visitor or occupant in need — rather than emergency-only dispatch like the E-1600A-BLT-EWP. It's well suited for hospitals, assisted living facilities, parking structures, and large retail properties where non-emergency assistance calls are common. For VoIP networks, look at the E-1600A-STIPEWP.
