Enhanced Weather
Protection
March 3, 2004
Standard practice for manufacturing emergency phones is to provide them
with standard uncoated circuit boards (like the ones in your PC). A few man-
ufacturers, including Viking, spray the circuit boards with a water resistant
material such as acrylic conformed coating to protect them.
Some emergency phone applications demand extra protection. Phones that
are mounted outside exposed to the elements in salty air near the ocean, in
high humidity, exposed to a corrosive atmosphere or vehicle exhaust all
need an extra measure of weather and corrosion resistance.
Our EWP (Enhanced Weather Protection) phones are designed with total
reliability in mind. First,
we use weather-sealed
push button switches, trim
pots and DIP switches so

• Urethane potting for:
- Maintaining flexibilty at low temperatures
- Excellent electrical insulation
- Low stress on sensative componenants
- Unaffected by moisture at high temperatures
- Thermal cycling ability
- Hydrolytic stability
- No shrinkage
• Sealed switch, LED, trim pots, push button and
microphone connections
All wires are hand soldered
• Mylar speaker with special weather-proof boot
• Field adjustable trim pots and DIP switches
• Closed cell foam gasketing to prevent water penetration
• Weatherproof connectors filled with anti-corosive sealing gel

you can adjust microphone and speaker volumes and set program-
ming features right at the installation site.
Then, we hand solder all wires to eliminate the kind of corrosion that
can occur in ordinary electrical connectors. We also hand seal the
connections at the push button switch, microphone, and "Call
Connected" LED using a special non-corrosive silicone sealant. We
use a special microphone boot that acts as a shield against water penetration. A mylar
speaker is used with rubber mounting gasket. Closed cell foam gasketing is used
behind front panels to prevent water penetration.
Finally we "Pot" the entire board in a clear flexible urethane
encapsulating material leaving the weather sealed field-
adjustable trim pots and DIP switches accessible. Our flexible
polyurethane sealant allows the circuit board and it’s components
to expand and contract, while maintaining weather resistance. To
protect tip and ring connections, we include connectors filled with
anti-corrosive sealing gel.
