Viking E-1600A-BLT2EWP Emergency Tower Phone with Blue Strobe Light, Voice Announcer and Weather Protection

Many new building codes require emergency communication in elevators and “Area of Refuge” sites. Now you can provide added safety for your patrons, employees, and students with the addition of high visibility, ADA Compliant emergency communication. At the simple push of a button, the E-1600A-BLT-EWP will initiate a call to your emergency personnel and send a digital announcement to identify the location of the emergency call. In addition, the tower phone’s bright (1million candle power) strobe light will instantly begin flashing to deter further activity and make it fast and easy for Police or Security personnel to locate the site of the emergency.

Though the strobe requires external power to operate, rest assured that communication is possible, even during power failures! All phone numbers, location numbers and programming parameters are stored in non-volatile memory. No batteries are required to hold the memory.

The E-1600A-BLT-EWP and E-1600A-BLT2-EWP are equipped with Enhanced Weather Protection (EWP) for outdoor installations where the unit is exposed to precipitation or condensation. EWP products feature foam rubber gaskets and boots, sealed connections, gel-filled butt connectors, as well as urethane or thermal plastic potted circuit boards with internally sealed, field-adjustable trim pots and DIP switches for easy on-site programming. For more information, see DOD# 859.
