Walker PTS-500-6M-00 Push To Signal Amplified Mic Handset

Walker PTS-500-6M-00 – Amplified Push‑To‑Signal Handset for Emergency Communication

The Walker PTS-500-6M-00 is a rugged, amplified push‑to‑signal handset designed for public help phones, emergency call stations, elevator phones, and blue‑light towers. Unlike standard handsets, this model features an amplified microphone and receiver, boosting audio clarity in noisy environments such as parking garages, transit stations, and industrial sites. The push‑to‑signal button on the handset grip allows users to activate an emergency call or alert with a single press – no need to lift the handset, improving accessibility for wheelchair users and those in panic situations. Built to withstand vandalism and harsh weather, the PTS-500-6M-00 is a reliable choice for campus security, municipal infrastructure, and commercial facilities.

How It Works

The PTS-500-6M-00 connects to your emergency phone base (e.g., Walker, Viking, Talkaphone) via the included heavy‑duty 6‑meter coiled cord (RJ11 or direct wiring). The integrated amplifier boosts both incoming audio (to the earpiece) and outgoing audio (from the microphone), making conversations audible even near heavy machinery or traffic. The push‑to‑signal button sends a momentary signal to the base, which can be programmed to initiate a call, trigger a strobe, or activate an alarm – allowing users to call for help without lifting the handset. The noise‑canceling microphone reduces background clatter, ensuring your dispatch center hears the caller clearly. For a complete security monitoring setup, pair this handset with a reliable corded headset from FindHeadsets – ideal for staff answering emergency calls.

Compatibility & Design

The Walker PTS-500-6M-00 works with most analog emergency phone systems from Walker, Viking (E‑1600 series), Talkaphone, and other manufacturers that accept a standard handset and push‑to‑signal input. The handset is constructed from high‑impact, UV‑stabilized thermoplastic with an armored, cut‑resistant coiled cord (6 meters long). It is rated IP65 for dust and water resistance, operating from -40°C to 70°C. The amplified receiver and microphone are hearing aid compatible (HAC). The push‑to‑signal button is large, tactile, and glove‑friendly. The handset also includes a built‑in hook switch for traditional lift‑to‑call operation. The black, vandal‑resistant design blends into any public setting.

Why Choose This Product

Standard emergency handsets often lack the volume needed for noisy areas and require lifting the handset to activate a call. The PTS-500-6M-00 solves both problems with its built‑in amplifier and one‑touch push‑to‑signal button. The amplified audio ensures that callers can hear instructions and that dispatchers can hear the caller, even in high‑noise environments. The rugged construction outlasts consumer‑grade handsets, reducing maintenance costs and downtime. For facility managers, this handset is a direct upgrade for existing emergency phones, improving accessibility and response times. The 6‑meter heavy‑duty cord provides ample reach while resisting vandalism.
