ELK-901G

The ELK-1RT is a rugged, quality speaker mounted in a tampered
"No Rust" stainless steel enclosure. It incorporates two sealed
reed tamper switches for enhanced reliability and ease of use.

1. Using the backplate as a template, mark and drill the 4
mounting holes and the wire or conduit entry hole (see Figure

1). Insert the (4) 1/4 x 1” wall anchors, then partially install the
top two #10 x 1” screws.

2. Route the wire or conduit through the hole provided and hang
backplate on the top screws. Then install remaining two
screws and & tighten all four.

3. Temporarily hang the speaker on the backplate by aligning
the slotted insert on the top edge of the speaker with the 1/2"
recessed tab on the bottom edge of the backplate. Press
speaker onto tab. (See Figure 2)

4. Connect the two white wires from the tamper switches to a 24
hour closed loop on the control panel (the switches are
already connected in series).

5. Connect the red and black speaker wires to an 18 gauge
(minimum) cable run back to the siren driver in the control
panel.

6. Move the speaker from its hanging position to its final mount
by aligning it's top and bottom slots with the 1/2" tabs on the
top edge of the backplate and in the bottom center above the
bolt threads. (See Figure 3) Press firmly. Tuck all loose

wires into the backplate and behind the speaker.

7. Slide the front cover over the speaker. (See Figure 4) Then lift
upward slightly to engage the two tabs inside the cover with
the two "U" shaped slots on the top left and right edges of the
backplate. Lower the cover until the tabs are resting in the
slots. Push the cover towards the wall, then lift up to lock the
tabs into their slots. Thread the 1/4-20 hex bolt into the
dimpled hole on bottom of cover and tighten until secure.

8. The front cover tamper switch is pressed closed by the front
cover during the final 3 to 4 full turns of the hex bolt. If
possible, test the operation of the tamper switch using a
continuity meter.
