Voice Siren & Stainless Enclosure ELK-155 RT
APPLICATION
The ELK-155RT is a self-contained Voice Siren mounted in a tampered "No Rust" stainless steel enclosure. It produces
high quality pre-recorded voice messages along with loud siren sounds. It features two (2) channels, one for Burglary and
one for Fire. The voice message and the siren alternately sound whenever one of the channels is activated. The ELK155RT 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-155RT to be reduced even lower. This is ideal for controls with limited alarm output
power. The stainless steel exterior reflects the color of the mounting surface allowing the ELK-155RT to blend easily with
any residential or commercial building.

INSTALLATION
1. Using the backplate as a template, mark & drill 4 mounting holes and the wire or conduit entry hole (see Figure 1). Insert 4 1/4 x 1” wall
anchors, then start 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 Voice Siren/speaker on the backplate by aligning the slotted insert on the top edge of the Siren with the 1/2" recessed
tab on the bottom edge of the backplate. Press Siren onto tab. (See Figure 2), continued on page 2.

Installation for ELK-155RT (continued)
4. Connect all wiring as follows. Recommended wire gauge is 18 AWG.
TAMPER (2 white wires): Connect to a 24 hour closed loop on the control panel. Tamper switch wires are spliced in series.
BLACK (Neg -): Connect to common negative (-) of the control panel.
WHITE (Burglary BA+): Connect to the positive (+) 12 VDC Burglary alarm output terminal. NOTE: This input utilizes our ComboTrigger
recognizes the difference in a steady voltage or a pulsing voltage from the control's alarm "bell" output. If the input voltage is steady the Yelping siren and Burglary voice
message will play. If the input voltage is pulsing (1/2 to 1.5 second intervals) the Bell sound and the Fire message will play,
provided the Red wire is connected to a constant
+12 VDC source as explained below. The ELK-155RT is ideal for controls which have only a single alarm "bell" output.
ORANGE (Fire FA+): Connect to the positive (+) 12 VDC Fire alarm output terminal. Note: It may not be necessary to connect this wire if the control panel can pulse the
alarm "bell" output for a fire alarm condition. Refer to the instructions for the White and Red wires for more information.
RED ( 12 Vdc +):
OPTIONAL Connection of this wire to a positive (+) 12 VDC constant power source allows use of the steady/pulse ComboTrigger
standby current to the microprocessor in the ELK-155RT. NOTE: Most of the operating current will also be drawn from this wire, therefore the power source must be capable of
providing up to 2 Amps of current. It may be necessary to connect this wire directly to the standby battery. If so we recommend using an in-line fuse holder with a 2 Amp fuse
for overcurrent and short circuit protection.
GREEN (BA -): OPTIONAL Some controls, (DSC & others) switch on and off the negative (-) side of the alarm output instead of the positive (+). The ELK-155RT can accomodate
this operation quite well. Simply connect the Green wire to the negative (-) 12VDC Burglary alarm output terminal, the Red wire to the positive (+) alarm terminal, and the black
wire to the common negative (-) terminal of the control. When connected in this manner, this input will also activate the Fire channel message if the alarm output is pulsed on/
off in 1/2 to 1.5 second intervals.
NOTE: The ELK-155RT Siren is factory set for maximum loudness and current draw. To change the unit for lower current draw and loudness, remove jumper J2 for the

option as described in the "Jumper Options" section.
To change the jumpers, remove the four screws and cover from
the back of the siren, move the desired jumpers, reclose cover.

5. Move the siren/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.
6. Slide front cover over the siren/speaker. Lift up to engage the tabs in the cover with the two "U" shaped slots on the top edges of the backplate. (Figure 4) Lower
cover until tabs are in slots. Push cover towards wall, then lift up to lock tabs in slots. Thread 1/4-20 hex bolt into hole on bottom of cover and tighten until secure.
7. The front cover tamper switch is pressed closed by the front cover during the final 3 to 4 full turns of the hex bolt. Test the tamper circuit using a continuity meter.
Tuck wires into lower corner
