Viking Tower Phones provide added safety for your patrons, employees, and students with the
addition of high visibility, ADA compliant communication. At the simple push of a button, the
E-1600A-AST-EWP
or
E-1600A-BLT-EWP
will initiate a call to your personnel and send a
digital announcement to identify the location of the call. In addition, the tower phone’s bright
LED strobe light will instantly begin flashing to deter further activity and make it fast and easy
for Police or Security personnel to locate the site of the call. The strobe light can also be
programmed to provide a continuous-on lower intensity beacon when the phone is not in use.
Though the strobe requires external power to operate, rest assured that communication is
possible, even during power failures! All phone numbers, location numbers and programming
parameters are stored in non-volatile memory. No batteries are required to hold the memory.
These tower phones are equipped with Enhanced Weather Protection (
EWP
) for outdoor
installations where the unit is exposed to precipitation or condensation. EWP products feature
foam rubber gaskets, sealed connections, gel-filled butt connectors, as well as urethane or
thermal plastic potted circuit boards with internally sealed, field-adjustable trim pots and DIP
switches for easy on-site programming. For more information on EWP, see
DOD 859
.
