ELK-130 High Powered Siren Driver

Product Information:

The ELK-130 is a high powered siren driver designed for
industrial use. It features an intense sweeping yelp sound that
makes it exceptionally loud. The driver has a wide operating
voltage range and can be powered from one source while being
triggered from another. This unique driver is ideal for security,
early warning, crowd protection, and various other
applications.

Features:

Industrial grade siren driver
Intense sweeping yelp sound
Wide operating voltage range
Capable of powering from one source while being triggered from
another

FCC and IC Compliance Statement:

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation. Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment. This equipment has been
tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation.

Product Usage Instructions:

Before making any connections, ensure that the control panel
and power supply are powered down.
Connect the SPEAKER terminals to 1 or more alarm type speakers.
Speaker output is rated down to 1 Ohm. Make sure not to exceed the
output ratings of the control or power source.
Connect the Yelp and/or Steady inputs to positive (+) switched
alarm outputs on the control. Then connect the NEG input to the
negative of the control or power source. Observe polarity. Note: If
both inputs become triggered at the same time, the Steady will take
priority and override the Yelp.
Connect the positive (+) of a 12-24 VDC power source to the
PWR+ terminal. Connect the negative (-) of the power source to the
PWR terminal. Observe polarity.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guar-

antee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures: · Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. · Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. · Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected. · Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device contains licence-exempt transmitter(s)/receiver(s) that comply with Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada’s licence-exempt RSS(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: · This device may not cause interference.

· This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device
L’émetteur/récepteur exempt de licence contenu dans le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Innovation, Sciences et Développement économique Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : · L’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage; · L’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouil-
lage est susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. BEFORE MAKING ANY CONNECTIONS ensure the control panel and power supply are powered down.
2. Connect the SPEAKER terminals to 1 or more alarm type speakers (see diagrams for multiple speaker hookup examples). Speaker output is rated down ot 1 Ohm. The current draw of the driver varies based on the speaker load and operating voltage. DO NOT EXCEED the output ratings of the control or power source. The chart below shows the estimated current draw based on speaker load and operating voltage.
3. Connect the Yelp and/or Steady inputs to positive (+) switched alarm outputs on the control. Then connect the NEG input to the negative of the control or power source. OBSERVE POLARITY! NOTE: Should both inputs become triggered at the same time the Steady willl take priority and override the Yelp.
4. Connect the positive (+) of a 12-24 VDC power source to the PWR+ terminal. Connect the negative (-) of the power source to the PWRterminal. OBSERVE POLARITY!
