ELK 101 User Manual
Siren Driver - Two Channel
ELK-101
APPLICATION
The ELK-101 is a two channel (Yelp and Steady) siren driver. It is capable of delivering high output volume while consuming very low current
draw. It can be powered from 6 or 12 VDC and is compatible with a wide variety of alarm panels.

INSTALLATION / OPERATION
1. Mount inside the control. Double sided foam mounting tape is
provided.
2. Connect the SPEAKER terminals to 1 or more 8 Ohm alarm type
Speakers following the suggested connection diagrams below.
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.
Two (2) Speakers - Parallel wired = 4 Ohm load.

If a speaker is externally mounted
there is always a risk that someone
could disable it by cutting or short
circuiting the wiring. A short could
cause damage to the siren driver or
defeat the internal speaker as well.
To help protect against this a 2.5
Amp fuse should be installed in-line

with the wiring that leads to the
external speaker. See diagram.
