Viking Electronics E-32-IP VoIP Stainless Steel Handsfree Entry Phone
Overview
The Viking Electronics E-32-IP is a flush-mount, handsfree VoIP entry phone built for demanding access-control and entry-point deployments where durability and weather resistance aren't optional. Constructed from marine-grade 316 brushed stainless steel with a 14-gauge louvered faceplate and T-10 Torx security fasteners, the E-32-IP resists both vandalism and corrosive environments — making it a practical choice for coastal facilities, parking structures, loading docks, and any exterior entry point exposed to weather and abuse. It connects to your SIP infrastructure over a single Cat5/Cat6 run, drawing power via PoE (802.3af) at under 4 watts — no separate power supply, no extra conduit runs. A blue "Call Connected" LED indicator confirms active sessions at a glance. The E-32-IP supports G.711u, G.711a, and G.722 audio codecs, delivering up to 90 dB SPL at 1 meter — enough output to cut through ambient noise at busy entry points. Built-in Automatic Noise Canceling (ANC) keeps speech intelligible even in loud mechanical or outdoor environments. The onboard 2-amp relay contacts let you wire direct door-strike or gate control without a separate relay module.
Compatibility
The E-32-IP integrates with any SIP 2.0 (RFC 3261) compliant IP PBX or call server — including Cisco, Avaya, Asterisk/FreePBX, 3CX, and similar platforms. It operates on standard 100BASE-Tx networks and connects via a single RJ45 port. Three gel-filled butt connectors are provided for field splicing. The board is designed to serve as a field-replaceable PCB for other models in the Viking Electronics IP entry phone family, including the E-10-IP, E-20-IP, and E-30-IP series. Mounting fits a standard double-gang box (flush) or surface-mount with the optional Viking VE-5x5 surface enclosure. For broader VoIP intercom deployments, the relay output pairs with most standard electric strikes and mag-lock controllers without additional hardware.
Installation Notes
Operating range is -40°F to 140°F — suitable for unheated enclosures, but verify the VE-5x5 enclosure rating if surface-mounting in direct sun in high-heat climates. Weather resistance is rated to 95% non-condensing humidity under standard conditions and up to 100% humidity under the enhanced weather-protection (EWP) spec — confirm which configuration applies to your install before specifying for fully-exposed applications. T-10 Torx fasteners deter casual tampering; ensure the matching driver is on hand during commissioning. Regulatory compliance covers FCC Part 15, Canada ICES-3 Class A, and CE — suitable for US and Canadian commercial deployments without additional approval steps. Shipping weight is 2.1 lbs.
