Emergency & Elevator Phones – Reliable Communication
Description
Emergency Phones without Auto Dialing
The K-1500-E and K-1500-EHF Emergency Phones provide reliable communication through handset or hands-free operation. These units are designed for emergency applications requiring simple and dependable connectivity.
Both models can be connected directly to a central office (C.O.) line or an analog PABX/KSU station when used with a hotline dialer or programmed ringdown circuit. They are also compatible with Viking’s DLE-200B ringdown circuit.
When the call button is pressed, the K-1500-EHF goes off-hook and remains active until the pre-set timeout (adjustable from 6 seconds to 5 minutes) expires or a CPC signal is detected. During this time, users can communicate hands-free. The K-1500-E model provides standard handset-based communication.
All components meet industry standards and are mounted on a durable formed aluminum panel with a red powder-coated finish for high visibility in emergency situations.
