Viking Electronics E-1600-52-IPEWP VoIP Emergency Phone Parts Kit with Enhanced Weather Protection
Overview
The E-1600-52-IPEWP is a two-button VoIP emergency phone parts kit from Viking Electronics, engineered specifically for field repair and maintenance of the E-1600-IP series emergency phone. Rather than replacing an entire installed unit, this kit delivers the core internal components — circuit board, two buttons, speaker, and a gel-sealed wire harness — so a technician can restore a damaged or failed phone while leaving the housing and mounting hardware in place. The Enhanced Weather Protection (EWP) wire harness included with this kit uses gel-filled butt connectors that seal field splices against moisture intrusion, making this the correct rebuild option for outdoor and exposed installations where a standard IP kit would leave the wiring vulnerable. The SIP 2.0 (RFC3261) circuit board supports automatic location ID transmission and "Call Connected" LED activation — the same call-handling behavior as the factory-installed assembly. PoE Class 1 power draw stays under 4W, so replacing the board does not change your switch port power budget.
Compatibility
This kit is designed exclusively for the Viking Electronics E-1600-IP series VoIP emergency phones. It is the EWP variant of the E-1600-52-IP parts kit — use this kit (E-1600-52-IPEWP) when the installed phone carries an EWP designation (e.g., E-1600-BL-IPEWP or other E-1600-IP EWP models). Do not substitute the non-EWP kit (E-1600-52-IP) in outdoor or high-humidity enclosures; that kit lacks the gel-filled wire harness required for up-to-100% humidity environments. The circuit board is SIP 2.0 compliant and connects via a single RJ45 10/100Base-T port, compatible with any IEEE 802.3af PoE-capable switch — no mid-span injector required provided your switch delivers 802.3af. Review your PoE switch port budget before deploying; Class 1 draw is under 4W per port.
Installation Notes
Operating temperature range is -40°F to 140°F (-40°C to 60°C), matching the full E-1600-IP series environmental envelope — this kit does not restrict the phone's rated range. Humidity tolerance for EWP units reaches 100% (non-EWP standard is 5–95% non-condensing); the gel-filled butt connectors in this kit are what enable that rating, so do not bypass or substitute them during installation. The relay contacts on the replacement board are rated at 2A — verify any door strike or auxiliary device wired to those contacts does not exceed that limit. Ingress protection is IP66, meaning direct rain and high-pressure water jets are within spec, but the phone is not rated for submersion. Regulatory compliance includes FCC Part 15, Canada ICES-003 Class A, and CE, so the replacement board maintains the same approvals as the original. Consult the Viking emergency phone installation guide for torque specifications and terminal block wiring sequence before opening the enclosure.
