User manual ELK PRODUCTS ELK-75

[. . . ] The voice message and the siren alternately sound whenever one of the channels is activated. The ELK-75 may be customized by use of removable on-board jumper plugs. For example: our MilliMiserTM option allows the already low current draw of the ELK-75 to be reduced even lower. The attractive wall or ceiling mount plastic enclosure fits into most all decors and it may be painted or wallpapered. FEATURES ! [. . . ] Pulsing ComboTriggerTM Option: If a pulsing (. 5 to 1. 5 second on/off interval) voltage is applied to this input the Fire channel message and bell sound will play, provided the +12V terminal is connected as explained below. This ComboTriggerTM feature makes the ELK-75 an ideal siren driver since most controls today have only a single alarm output. Connection of this terminal to a positive (+) 12 VDC constant power source rated and fused for 2 Amps or greater supplies all of the operating current to the ELK-75 and allows the +BA (Burglar) and Fire inputs to be triggered by low currents of 5 to 40 milliamps. Also, this connection is required in order for the Pulsing ComboTriggerTM Option to be utilized. NOTE: If the control doesn't have a constant power source rated 2 Amps or greater, it is possible to connect directly to the standby battery using an in-line fuse holder and a 2 Amp fuse for safety. ALTERNATE - Some controls (DSC & others), switch on and off the negative (-) side of the alarm output instead of the positive (+) side. Simply connect the -BA terminal to the negative (-) alarm output terminal on the control. Then connect the +12V terminal to the positive (+) alarm output terminal, and the NEG terminal to any common negative (-) terminal on the control. The -BA input also has the Pulsing ComboTriggerTM operation which eliminates the need to connect to the +BA or the FIRE terminals. +BA: +12V: - BA: BONUS: ADDITIONAL SPEAKER - For convenience and economy up to one (1) additional 8 Ohm speaker may be connected to the ELK-75. Mount another speaker (indoor or outdoor) on the opposite side of the wall from the ELK-75 and drill a hole for a two (2) conductor wire. Connect the extra speaker in parallel with the ELK-75's built-in speaker. MIN RATING = 20 Watt (ELK-70, ELK-14, ELK-1. . . ) NOTE: The ELK-75 Siren is factory set for for maximum loudness and current draw. To change the unit for lower current draw and loudness, remove the MilliMiserTM option jumper marked "MM".
