Walker PTS-K-6M-00 Push-To-Signal Handset

Walker PTS-K-6M-00 – Push‑To‑Signal Handset for Emergency Call Stations

The Walker PTS-K-6M-00 Push‑To‑Signal Handset is a rugged, heavy‑duty handset designed for public help phones, emergency call stations, elevator phones, and blue‑light towers. This model features a dedicated push‑to‑signal button on the handset grip, allowing users to activate a call or send an alert without lifting the handset – a critical feature for accessibility and rapid emergency response. Built to withstand vandalism, harsh weather, and constant use, the PTS-K-6M-00 is ideal for parking garages, college campuses, transit systems, and industrial sites. The handset delivers clear audio with a noise‑canceling microphone and a high‑output speaker, ensuring reliable communication even in noisy environments.

How It Works

The PTS-K-6M-00 connects to your existing emergency phone base (e.g., from Viking, Talkaphone, or Walker) via a standard coiled cord and modular connector (RJ11 or direct wiring). The push‑to‑signal button on the handset grip sends a momentary closure signal to the base, which can be programmed to initiate a call, activate a strobe, or trigger an alert. This allows users to call for help without having to lift the handset – especially useful for wheelchair users or those with limited mobility. The handset also functions as a normal telephone handset: lifting it off the hook activates the phone’s hook switch. The noise‑canceling microphone and amplified receiver ensure clear two‑way communication even in high‑noise areas. For a complete dispatch center, pair this handset with a professional corded headset from FindHeadsets to monitor emergency calls with clarity.

Compatibility & Design

The Walker PTS-K-6M-00 is compatible with most analog emergency phone bases that accept a standard handset with a coil cord and may include a separate push‑to‑signal input. It is designed to work with Walker, Viking (e.g., E‑1600 series), Talkaphone, and similar public help phone systems. The handset is constructed from high‑impact, UV‑stabilized thermoplastic with a reinforced coil cord that resists cutting and abrasion (IP65 rated). The push‑to‑signal button is large, tactile, and operable with gloves. The handset includes a built‑in hook switch actuator and is available with a 6‑meter coiled cord (hence “6M” in the model). It operates in temperatures from -40°C to 70°C. The handset is hearing aid compatible (HAC) and features a noise‑canceling electret microphone.

Why Choose This Product

Standard emergency handsets require the user to lift the handset to activate a call – a barrier for people with mobility challenges or those in panic situations. The push‑to‑signal button provides a one‑touch activation, improving accessibility and response times. The rugged construction outlasts consumer‑grade handsets, reducing maintenance costs. The noise‑canceling microphone and amplified speaker ensure that callers can be heard clearly, even near heavy machinery or traffic. For facility managers, this handset is a direct replacement for older units, and its compatibility with major emergency phone bases simplifies upgrades. The 6‑meter heavy‑duty coil cord allows flexible placement while resisting vandalism.
