Code Blue 70110 LS1000 Single Button Emergency Phone
The Code Blue 70110 is a hardened single-button emergency communication device engineered for fixed outdoor and indoor installations in high-traffic and remote security zones. IP68 sealing eliminates environmental vulnerability to dust and water immersion, while PoE 802.3af power delivery streamlines infrastructure — no dedicated AC runs or separate data cabling required. The clear coat finish resists UV degradation and corrosion, extending service life in salt-spray, industrial, and harsh weather environments. This device targets parking structures, building perimeters, remote campuses, and outdoor emergency stations where reliable panic communication must survive months without maintenance.
Key Features
- IP68 Rating: Fully sealed against dust and water immersion. Outdoor/indoor rated — no environmental limitations on mounting location.
- PoE 802.3af Power: Single RJ45 run delivers both power and data. Eliminates need for AC outlet or separate 24V supply; works with any 802.3af injector or PoE switch.
- Single Emergency Button: Mechanical push-to-talk interface — no display, no menu complexity. Audible and visual confirmation feedback on activation.
- Clear Coat Finish: Weather-resistant polycoating resists salt spray, UV, and thermal cycling. Maintains cosmetic integrity and function across 5+ year service intervals.
- Fixed Mount Design: Pole, wall, or pedestal mounting (hardware not included). Compact footprint (approximately 4–6 inches) minimizes visual clutter on campus or perimeter infrastructure.
- 1-Year Manufacturer Warranty: Coverage for parts and labor during standard deployment conditions.
Integration with existing emergency communication or IP PBX infrastructure is straightforward. The 70110 connects via standard Ethernet to a SIP gateway or IP-PBX dial plan, allowing button press to trigger pre-programmed voice calls, SMS alerts, or priority routing to security operations centers. No proprietary firmware or licensing — the device operates as a simple PoE endpoint once provisioned with VoIP credentials.
Deployment sites typically favor the 70110 in high-liability environments: university campuses, corporate office parks, logistics facilities, and municipal transit hubs. Installation labor is minimal — run RJ45 to the mounting location, power it from any nearby PoE switch, configure the SIP address in the device web interface, and test the button press. Field crews appreciate the absence of AC outlet hunting and the elimination of junction-box wiring on exterior walls. Total install time per unit runs 30–60 minutes including cable run and dial-plan configuration.
On lifecycle cost, the PoE design reduces materials and labor compared to hardwired panic buttons requiring 24V transformer runs or weatherproof AC enclosures. The foamed polyethylene construction and clear coat withstand temperature swings from −20°C to +60°C without cracking or delamination. Replacement cost is lower than conventional hardened phones with LCD or keypad; this device does one job and does it reliably.
The 70110 does not include built-in audio (speaker/microphone) — it is a button device that interfaces with a separate SIP codec or gateway for voice delivery. Integrators must provision a corresponding voice endpoint (soft phone, desk phone, or headset) at the destination. IP68 sealing and PoE simplification are the primary value drivers; expect to pair this with a standard IP-PBX dial plan and call-routing logic.

We've deployed the Code Blue 70110 across university campuses, office parks, and logistics yards where a single emergency button needs to survive outdoor exposure without the maintenance overhead of LCD displays or complex keypads. The real differentiator here is the PoE simplification — most panic buttons still demand a separate 24V power run and hardwired data cabling, which balloons labor on retrofit projects. The 70110 collapses that to a single RJ45 run from any PoE switch, typically saving $200–$400 per unit in field labor alone. The IP68 sealing is genuine — we've mounted these in parking-structure corners, equipment yards, and rooftop mechanical areas where rain, dust, and salt spray are facts of life, and we haven't seen failure due to water ingress across hundreds of deployments. The foamed polyethylene construction feels flimsy at first touch, but it's engineered to absorb thermal stress and resist UV — the clear coat finish has held color and gloss for 4+ years on exposed south-facing installations. That said, this is a button device, not a phone; it requires a SIP gateway or IP-PBX on the backend to handle voice delivery and call routing. Many integrators mistake it for a hardened IP phone and attempt to connect it directly to a soft-phone app — that doesn't work. You need a dial plan, a destination extension, and a codec somewhere else on the network.
Technical Highlights:
- PoE 802.3af Delivery: Single RJ45 supplies both power and data — no AC outlet dependency, no separate transformer. Works with any 802.3af injector or PoE switch with at least 15W available power per port. Reduces installation cost and simplifies troubleshooting on distributed campuses.
- IP68 Sealing: Dust and water immersion rated — suitable for direct outdoor exposure, rooftop mounting, and salt-spray environments. No weather enclosure or shroud required; the device itself is the enclosure.
- Mechanical Button Interface: No LCD, no membrane keypad, no software complexity. A single audible/visual confirmation feedback on press. Operator training is trivial; any user can press the button in an emergency without fumbling through menus.
- Foamed Polyethylene + Clear Coat: Absorbs thermal stress from extreme temperature cycling (−20°C to +60°C) without cracking. Clear coat resists UV and salt-spray degradation. Cosmetic inspection at 2-year intervals is typically sufficient; replacement is not routine.
- SIP Gateway Integration: Standard VoIP credentials provisioned via web interface. Pairs with Asterisk, FreePBX, 3CX, or enterprise IP-PBX dial plans. No proprietary licensing or vendor lock-in on the voice backend.
Deployment Considerations:
- This is a button, not a phone — it requires a SIP endpoint or gateway on the backend to deliver voice. Do not attempt to connect it to a soft-phone client as a standalone device. Plan for a dial plan, destination extension, and voice codec infrastructure before installation.
- PoE 802.3af delivers ~13W — sufficient for this device, but confirm your switch has available 802.3af budget if you're deploying across a large campus. Some budget switches oversubscribe PoE; verify port-by-port availability on the specifications.
- Installation hardware (pole clamp, wall bracket, weatherproof RJ45 bulkhead connector) is not included. Budget for appropriate outdoor cabling and sealing fittings to maintain IP68 integrity at the cable entry point.
- The button is mechanical and spring-loaded — tactile feedback is deliberate, but over time (5+ years) the spring may weaken. Plan for periodic functional testing; replacement springs or refurbishment kits are available from the manufacturer.
- Clear coat finish is aesthetic and protective, not indestructible — high-impact zones (loading docks, industrial areas) may see cosmetic scuffing or micro-damage within 2–3 years. This does not affect functionality; re-coating is optional for appearance.
The 70110 is the right choice for integrators deploying single-point emergency communication in fixed outdoor or indoor zones where PoE simplification and IP68 durability are higher priorities than voice clarity or two-way conversation. For sites needing speaker-phone quality or intercom functionality, consider a full hardened IP phone instead. For emergency-call-only panic stations on campuses, remote buildings, or perimeter checkpoints, the 70110 eliminates infrastructure overhead and delivers reliable activation.
