Weatherproof Telephones — HWT-1A-LHB
HWT-1A-LHB Weatherproof Analogue Telephone
PSTN and PBX Compatible. Line-Powered. No IP Network Required. IP66/IP67 rated. MTBF 100,000 hours.
Product overview
PSTN and PBX Compatible. Line-Powered. No IP Network Required.
The HWT-1A-LHB is HEPDA's industrial analogue telephone for sites that run on PSTN lines, FXS ports, or traditional analogue PBX infrastructure. It draws power directly from the telephone line — no PoE switch, no external power supply, no additional wiring required. That simplicity matters in locations like highway emergency call points, tunnel emergency phones, and remote industrial sites where power availability is limited and installation needs to be fast and uncomplicated.
The call transmission specification (SLR <12, RLR <-1, STMR >10, 600-ohm output impedance) is rated for transmission runs up to 5km — relevant for long-haul cable runs across highway or rail infrastructure. Housing size and style can be customised to project requirements.
HWT-1A-LHB — Analogue POTS
Line-powered · PSTN/FXS/Analogue PBX · no network infrastructure required · ideal for remote and highway sites
HWT-1V-LHB — VoIP / SIP
PoE or AC powered · SIP 2.0 · IP-PBX integration · ideal for sites running IP network infrastructure
Features
HWT-1A-LHB Weatherproof Analogue Telephone
Line-Powered — No External Supply
Draws power directly from the telephone line. No PoE switch, no external power supply, no additional wiring required. Simplifies installation at remote and highway sites.
IP66 and IP67 Dual Rating
IP66 (high-pressure water jets) and IP67 (temporary immersion). Same housing spec as the VoIP model — same weatherproofing, different network connection.
ITU-T K.21 Lightning Protection
Built-in surge protection compliant with ITU-T Recommendation K.21. Protects the device and the telephone line at exposed outdoor sites.
5km Transmission Range
Call transmission rated for runs up to 5km — relevant for long-haul cable runs across highway or rail infrastructure where copper pairs are the connection medium.
Beacon and Loudspeaker Support
Optional LED indicators, external flash beacons, and loudspeaker/sounder units for high-noise environments where a ringing handset alone isn't sufficient.
Customisable Housing
Housing size and style customisable to project requirements. Flexible mounting — wall mount, pole mount, rotation mounting closure.

Applications
Where it is deployed
Highway Emergency Call Points
Remote highway emergency telephones that must function without network infrastructure — line-powered, IP66/IP67 rated, and rated for transmission runs up to 5km.
Tunnel Emergency Phones
Tunnel bores and underground infrastructure where running separate power to each telephone position is impractical. Line-powered operation from the PSTN pair.
Rail and MRT Emergency Communication
Remote railway station emergency points, trackside call boxes, and level crossing emergency telephones connected to existing analogue telephony infrastructure.
Remote Industrial Sites
Offshore platforms, pump stations, and remote utility sites connected to existing PSTN or analogue PBX infrastructure where IP network coverage is not available.
Port and Marine Berth Positions
Emergency and operational communication at berths, quaysides, and port facilities connected to analogue telephony lines.
Construction Site Emergency Posts
Long-haul cable runs across large construction sites where line-powered operation simplifies installation without requiring network infrastructure at each handset position.
