Viking Electronics E-1600-45A-EWP ADA Emergency Phone with EWP Safety Yellow Surface Mount

Overview

The Viking Electronics E-1600-45A-EWP is an ADA-compliant emergency telephone with built-in auto-dialer and voice announcer, housed in a 16-gauge steel enclosure finished in textured safety yellow powder paint. The Enhanced Weather Protection (EWP) rating — supporting humidity up to 100% — makes this unit viable for uncovered outdoor posts, covered parking structures, tunnels, and washdown environments where a standard-humidity unit would degrade over time. It is phone-line powered, eliminating the need for a separate power run to the device: one pair of conductors handles both communication and operating power.

The E-1600-45A-EWP (often searched as E 1600 45A EWP) is a surface-mount-only unit, compatible with walls, posts, and similar flat vertical surfaces. If a flush or recessed installation is required, a different chassis in the 1600A Series would be the correct choice.

Key Features

• Phone-Line Powered: The unit draws operating power from the connected telephone line — no separate 120V outlet or low-voltage power supply needed at the mounting location. This meaningfully simplifies conduit planning in parking garages, stairwells, and remote exterior locations where pulling a second circuit is expensive.
• 5 Emergency + 2 Central Station Numbers: The auto-dialer stores up to 5 emergency contact numbers and 2 central station numbers, giving facilities flexibility to sequence through campus security, local 911, a monitoring center, and backup contacts in a single unit. No separate dialer panel or secondary device required.
• 16-Second Voice Announcer: A 16-second outgoing announcement memory lets you pre-record location identification (
