For product installations that require extra protection from moisture, vehicle exhaust, pool chemicals or temperature extremes, Viking Electronic unveils its Enhanced Weather Protection (EWP) products that ensure the durability needed for years of service.

James Catt of Viking Electronics said “Viking products with Enhanced Weather Protection simply outlast the elements. They just keep on working, reducing disruption and preventing repair calls from customers. Choosing EWP adds so much value to your hardware investment.

Viking products with Enhanced Weather Protection (EWP) have a circuit board that is encased in a strong polymer material. The potting material won’t crack in cold weather, it provides protection against moisture and condensation, and it’s an excellent electrical insulator.

In addition to the potted circuit board, Enhanced Weather Protection products also feature internally sealed push buttons, DIP switches, and volume control pots. Additional gaskets for the speaker, mic and face plate make EWP products compliant with an IP66 rating.

Trusted for tough applications

Customers trust Viking Electonics’ Enhanced Weather Protection (EWP) products for tough applications, such as ocean beach properties, swimming pools areas or in parking garages. Enhanced Weather Protection is also perfect for door and gate entry phones that are fixed outside, constantly exposed to the harsh outdoor elements.

Viking Electronics has put Enhanced Weather Protection (EWP) to the test with the outdoor phones that are being used at their manufacturing facility in Hudson, Wisconsin, United States of America (USA).
