Viking E-60-WH-IP SIP VoIP Entry Phone PoE Double Gang White

Viking Electronics E-60-WH-IP VoIP Entry Phone — Satin White Double Gang

Overview

The Viking Electronics E-60-WH-IP is a compact, vandal-resistant SIP VoIP entry phone engineered for access control entry points where clean aesthetics and reliable two-way audio matter. It flush-mounts directly into a standard double gang electrical box — no custom cutout, no specialty backbox — making it a natural fit for retrofits and new commercial installs alike. Running on PoE Class 1, it draws under 4 watts from any 802.3af-capable switch or midspan, so there is no separate power wiring to route. The satin white faceplate (123.8 mm × 125.4 mm × 4.3 mm) blends into interior lobby and corridor walls without the industrial look of stainless steel variants.

The E-60-WH-IP (often searched as E 60 WH IP) supports SIP 2.0 RFC3261 natively, which means it registers directly to any standards-compliant SIP PBX or hosted VoIP platform — no proprietary controller required. Audio codecs G.711u, G.711a, and G.722 are supported, with G.722 delivering wideband HD voice clarity that makes it noticeably easier to understand callers in noisy vestibules or mechanical rooms.

Key Features

• PoE Class 1 Power (<4W): Runs on standard 802.3af — any port on a managed PoE switch covers it without dedicated power supplies or circuit wiring. Simplifies single-cable installation significantly.
• SIP 2.0 RFC3261 Compliance: Registers to virtually any SIP PBX, hosted UCaaS platform, or on-premises call manager without middleware. Interoperability is dictated by your PBX, not Viking's proprietary stack.
• G.722 Wideband Audio + 89 dB SPL: HD voice codec reduces listener fatigue and misunderstanding at the door. The 89 dB SPL output is loud enough for mechanical rooms and loading docks without being overkill indoors.
• -40°C to 60°C (-40°F to 140°F) Operating Range: This is genuine cold-climate performance — unheated parking structures, northern-climate exterior vestibules, and rooftop access points won't freeze it out. Few entry phones survive -40°F without active heating.
• Automatic Noise Cancellation: Built-in noise cancellation keeps HVAC, crowd, and loading dock noise from overwhelming the far-end caller — a practical necessity for busy lobbies.
• Blue LED Indicator: Visible call-active status for visitors who don't know whether the call connected. Reduces repeat button presses and frustrated entries.
• 2-Amp Relay Contacts: Onboard relay handles door strike or mag-lock control directly — eliminates a separate relay module in simple single-door deployments.
• Gel-Filled Butt Connectors (3x): Weatherproof terminations included for field wiring — appropriate for installations where the phone body is exposed to condensation or moisture ingress from the box cavity.
• FCC Part 15 / CE / Canada ICES-3 Class A: Tri-regulatory compliance covers US, Canadian, and EU commercial deployments from a single SKU.

Integration & Compatibility

The E-60-WH-IP connects via a single RJ45 10/100Base-T port carrying both data and PoE. SIP 2.0 RFC3261 registration makes it compatible with Cisco Unified Communications Manager, FreePBX, 3CX, Avaya, and most hosted SIP trunking providers. The onboard relay contacts (2A) can drive a door strike or mag-lock directly for simple access control without a separate access control panel. For surface mount applications where a double gang box is not available, Viking's optional VE-5x5 surface mount enclosure accommodates the phone body. The EWP (Extended Weather Protection) variant E-60-WH-IP-EWP supports humidity up to 100% for exposed exterior installs; the standard E-60-WH-IP is rated 5% to 95% non-condensing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the E-60-WH-IP require a proprietary Viking controller or PBX?

A: No. It registers as a standard SIP 2.0 RFC3261 endpoint to any compliant SIP PBX or hosted VoIP platform — Cisco CUCM, FreePBX, 3CX, Avaya, and most hosted providers are all viable.

Q: What PoE standard does the E-60-WH-IP require?

A: It operates as a PoE Class 1 device drawing under 4 watts, fully compatible with standard 802.3af switches. No 802.3at (PoE+) required.

Q: Can the E-60-WH-IP control a door strike directly?

A: Yes. The unit includes onboard relay contacts rated at 2 amps, suitable for driving a door strike or mag-lock in single-door deployments without a separate relay module.

Q: What is the operating temperature range of the E-60-WH-IP?

A: -40°C to 60°C (-40°F to 140°F), making it suitable for unheated parking structures, cold-climate vestibules, and most exterior-adjacent locations.

Q: Is the E-60-WH-IP rated for outdoor or wet locations?

A: The standard E-60-WH-IP is rated for 5% to 95% non-condensing humidity — appropriate for interior and protected-exterior locations. The E-60-WH-IP-EWP variant supports up to 100% humidity for fully exposed exterior installs.

Q: What mounting options are available?

A: Flush mount into a standard double gang electrical box, or surface mount using Viking's optional VE-5x5 surface mount enclosure.

The E-60-WH-IP is one of the cleaner SIP entry phone installations I've worked with — the double gang flush mount means your electrician can rough-in a standard box and walk away. What I pay attention to on this unit specifically is the -40°F lower temperature rating: most SIP entry phones tap out around 14°F or 32°F, so if you're specifying for an unheated parking garage vestibule in Minnesota or a rooftop mechanical room access point, this spec matters and most competing units simply won't hold registration through a cold snap.

Technical Highlights:

• PoE Class 1 (<4W): Well within 802.3af budget — you can power 15+ of these off a standard 24-port PoE switch without approaching the switch's watt budget. No midspan injectors, no dedicated circuits.
• G.722 Wideband Codec: The difference between G.711 and G.722 at an entry phone is real — in a lobby with HVAC noise, HD voice means the receptionist actually understands the caller the first time. Saves the back-and-forth that defeats the purpose of an entry phone.
• 2A Onboard Relay: Rated for 2 amps, which covers most door strikes and mag-locks without a relay board add-on. Simplifies wiring and reduces panel space — meaningful when you're fitting this into a double gang box with no room for extras.

Deployment Considerations:

• The standard E-60-WH-IP is rated to 95% non-condensing humidity — if your install location sees condensation cycles or driving rain exposure, specify the E-60-WH-IP-EWP variant instead. Don't assume the temperature rating implies full weatherproofing.
• SIP registration behavior depends entirely on your PBX configuration — dial plan, codec negotiation, and DTMF handling are your variables. Test G.722 codec negotiation explicitly if HD voice is a requirement; not all hosted SIP providers pass G.722 end-to-end.

This unit is well-positioned for corporate lobby and multi-tenant office installs where the white faceplate needs to disappear into the wall, the install crew is working with standard electrical rough-in, and the site runs a SIP PBX that can handle direct endpoint registration without a Viking-specific gateway.
