Description
When a building occupant needs emergency help in an elevator, the Viking K-1600-EHFA delivers fast, reliable handsfree communication without requiring batteries, extra wiring, or complicated setup.
This ADA compliant emergency phone connects directly to any standard analog telephone line or analog station port and dials up to five programmable emergency numbers plus two central station numbers automatically. If a number is busy or goes unanswered, the unit cycles through backups to make sure help is reached. Once connected, a built-in 16-second digital voice announcer identifies the location of the call, or a DTMF tone code can be sent instead — keeping dispatchers informed without the caller needing to say a word.
Built from 16-gauge powder-painted aluminum with a vandal-resistant steel call button, the K-1600-EHFA is tough enough for daily use in elevators and public spaces. It fits a standard 10″ x 7″ x 3″ elevator rough-in box and is fully programmable from any touch-tone phone, making installation and future changes straightforward for any facilities team.
Our Expert Take: The K-1600-EHFA is a solid, no-nonsense choice for elevator emergency compliance. Because it is phone line powered, you never have to worry about battery maintenance or a separate power circuit — a real advantage in elevator environments where access is limited. If your installation is in an area exposed to moisture, condensation, or outdoor elements, consider the EWP-rated E-1600A-EWP instead, which is built to IP66 standards. For a standard indoor elevator application, the K-1600-EHFA hits every ADA requirement cleanly and reliably.
