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.

Installation and Specifications

A

Step 1.

Mount the tower phone approximately 42” above the floor to a flat, sturdy surface using 5/16 hardware. Note: Flat
washers should be used on the main mounting bolts for additional strength.

Step 2.

Locate the strobe light panel and attach red, black and green 42” wire extensions with butt connectors then pass the red,
black and green wires from the strobe panel through the gasket and the upper hole in the tower.

Step 3.

Mount the strobe panel to the tower using the four security screws provided. Attention: To make sure water drain notch
between stobe and panel is facing down, attach strobe panel with wires exiting left side of panel.

Step 4.

Locate the phone panel. Using the gel-filled butt connectors, connect the red, black and green wires labeled “Strobe Light”
to the red, black and green wires on the strobe panel.

Step 5. Connect the phone line to the red and green wires (this connection is not polarity sensitive).

Step 6.

Connect the 12V DC adapter wires (-) and (+) to the black with red stripe (-) and red with black stripe (+) wires from the

BLK-4 control module.

Step 7. Mount the phone panel to the tower using the remaining four security screws.

* Note: To increase surge protection, loosen the PCB mounting screw labeled (as shown) and fasten a wire with ring connector
(included) from the mounting screw to Earth Ground (grounding rod, water pipe, etc.)

IMPORTANT: Electronic devices are susceptible to lightning and power station electrical surges from both the AC outlet and the
telephone line. It is recommended that a surge protector be installed to protect against such surges.

** Note: The gel-filled (water-tight) butt connectors are designed for insulation displacement on 19-26 gauge wire with a maximum
insulation of 0.082 inches. Cut off bare wire ends prior to terminating.

*** Note: When wires are routed from above, a “drip loop” is recommended to keep water away from the circuit board.

BLK-4 Control Module Programming

Switch 1 Switch 3 Description (see section B)

ON OFF Ring Detection Only

OFF ON Off-Hook/Loop Current Detection Only

ON ON Ring and Off-Hook/Loop Current Detection

Switch 2 Ring Cadence Mode (see section C)

ON Ring Cadence Mode ON - relay remains activated in between rings

OFF Ring Cadence Mode OFF - relay is activated only during ringing

Switch 4 Auxiliary Relay Contacts (see section D)

ON Wet (12VDC, 100mA maximum)

OFF Dry (1 Amp maximum @ 30VDC)

DIP switch 2 is used for switching between different ring detection modes. In the OFF position, the strobe light and
relay will activate only while ring voltage is present and will turn off between rings. In the ON position, the strobe light
and relay will remain on for up to 5.75 seconds after the ringing has stopped. This allows the strobe light and relay to
remain on between rings of a standard ring cadence. Note: To use the Ring Cadence Mode, ring detection MUST be

enabled (DIP switch 1 - ON).

With DIP switch 4 OFF, normally open and normally closed dry relay contacts are available on the orange, purple and
yellow wires. The contacts are rated at .5A @ 125VAC/1A @ 30VDC. If contacts are driving an inductive load, place a
suppression device at the load to snub high voltage spikes.

With DIP switch 4 ON, wet/switched +12VDC (100mA maximum) will be output on the yellow wire and “-” (GND) on the
black wire.

2. Loop/Off-hook Indication Only

Place DIP switch 1 OFF and DIP switch 3 ON. In this configuration, the E-1600A-AST-EWP will only flash the strobe
light while off-hook (while the emergency phone is in use).

1. Ring Indication Only

Place DIP switch 2 on the 1600A phone board in the OFF position (not shown in the diagram - see 1600A Phone
Board Programming section J). Note: With DIP switch 2 in the OFF position, the 1600A emergency phone board

will not answer an incoming call. The BLK-4 control module can monitor for ringing any place along the ringing
line. Place DIP switch 1 ON and DIP switch 3 OFF.

3. Both Ring and Loop/Off-hook Indication

If the application requires ring and loop/off-hook indication, place DIP switch 1 and 3 in the ON position.

E. Disable Feature

The “Disable” input can be connected to a switch for remotely disabling/turning off the strobe light and the device
controlled by the auxiliary contacts (camera, etc.). Note: The disable feature on the E-1600A-AST2EWP and E-1600A-

BLT2EWP is factory pre-wired to the “Info” push button. This prevents the strobe from activating when the “Info” push
button is pressed.
