Code Blue 60073 Single Button Phone Assembly
Overview
The Code Blue 60073 is a replacement FP1 single-button phone assembly built for the IA4100 Series analog speakerphone line. Use it when an existing IA4100 unit's button/speaker assembly fails or is damaged and needs a direct swap rather than a full call station replacement — a common maintenance scenario on parking structure, campus, and roadside emergency phone towers where the phone module takes the weather and vandalism exposure, not the enclosure. The assembly is a full duplex speakerphone with self-monitoring, so a failed unit reports back to the head-end rather than failing silent.
Compatibility
The 60073 is built specifically for the IA4100 Analog Phone family and is listed as compatible with IA4100 Analog Speakerphone units. It is not a universal phone module — confirm the base station is an IA4100-series unit before ordering, since button count and bezel layout are specific to that series.
Installation Notes
Power input is 12-24V AC/DC, giving flexibility to feed the assembly from a local transformer or a DC power supply already in the cabinet rather than requiring a dedicated AC circuit. It carries 2 contact closures in and 3 contact closures out, enough to tie into gate relays, strobe indicators, or a call-in-progress light without adding an external interface module. Line level audio output is rated at 600 ohm for clean handoff into an amplifier or paging interface. Operating range is -40°C to 70°C, so it holds up in both hard winter and desert summer deployments without a heater kit. It carries an IP68 rating for outdoor mounting, meaning it's built for direct weather exposure, not just splash contact, and the housing is built to NEMA 4 with UL 62368-1 compliance. Proprietary security screws resist tampering, piezoelectric buttons avoid the sticking and jamming common on mechanical switches in outdoor call boxes, and the bezel includes ADA Braille marking for accessibility compliance. The PCB is conformal coated, which matters for long-term reliability in humid or condensing environments. Dimensions run 11.75" H x 8.5" W x 2.5" D at 6 lbs.
