Viking 2 Wire Amp Black Handset with Armored Cable - Q171220

Viking Electronics Q171220 2-Wire Amplified Black Handset with Armored Cable

Overview

The Viking Electronics Q171220 is a replacement amplified handset with armored cable, designed for integration with Viking's 2-wire entry phone and emergency phone product lines. The armored cable construction resists tampering and mechanical damage — the right choice for high-traffic lobbies, parking structures, and any access-controlled entry point where a standard handset cord would be a liability. If you're servicing or commissioning a Viking door entry or emergency phone installation and need a field-replaceable handset that matches the original system spec, the Q171220 is the direct fit.

Compatibility

Compatible with Viking Electronics analog entry phone and emergency phone systems using 2-wire amplified handset connections, including the Viking Electronics E-Series line (E-10A, E-20B) and related indoor/outdoor door entry phone models. The recommended surface-mount enclosure is a double-gang box with minimum inside dimensions of 2.25" deep × 3.65" wide × 2.84" tall (Carlon BH234R or equivalent) — verify your existing backbox meets these minimums before ordering as a drop-in replacement. Viking's ADA-compliant emergency phone series and stainless steel speaker phone variants within the same wiring architecture are also supported; confirm handset interface type against your specific model's wiring diagram before installation.

Installation Notes

The double-gang backbox minimum inside dimensions — 2.25" deep, 3.65" wide, 2.84" tall — are a hard constraint. A shallower box will prevent proper seating of the handset assembly. Use the access control and entry system wiring documentation for your specific Viking panel to confirm 2-wire amplified interface compatibility. Armored cable should be routed to avoid sharp bends that could kink the armor jacket. Consult the intercom and entry phone accessories category for complementary components such as surface-mount boxes and mounting hardware.
