ELK Products High Powered Siren Driver - ELK-130

ELK Products ELK-130 High Powered Siren Driver

Overview

The ELK-130 is a 130dB (@ 1 meter) industrial-grade siren driver built for security, early warning, and mass notification deployments where audible alert range and attention-getting intensity are non-negotiable. It outputs over 500 watts and operates across a wide voltage band (12–24 VDC), allowing power from one source and triggering from another—critical flexibility for backup battery-backed alarm systems. The driver produces two distinct sounds: a sweeping yelp or steady tone, both intense enough to cut through ambient noise on warehouse floors, loading docks, or facility perimeters.

Compatibility

The ELK-130 integrates with access control panels and alarm control systems that supply 9–24 VDC trigger voltage on dedicated alarm output circuits. It pairs with any passive speaker or speaker array rated at 20 watts minimum per unit and down to 1 ohm load impedance—standard in commercial horn speakers. Heavy-duty terminals accommodate larger wire gauges for long runs (extended distance between driver and speaker array). Includes dual fused battery wires (ELK-W120) for hardwired integration with backup power supplies, making it suitable for systems requiring 24/7 alarm availability.

Installation Notes

Wire power terminals (+PWR, −PWR) directly to a 12–24 VDC supply rated for at least 500 watts output capacity. Connect trigger inputs (+YELP, −NEG, +STEADY) to alarm relay outputs on your control panel—select one sound type per installation (yelp or steady, not both simultaneously). Speaker output (positive/negative) routes to passive speaker load rated 20W minimum and 1 ohm or higher impedance per unit. All connections require appropriate fusing on power input. Status LED indicates driver operation. Environmental operation and thermal dissipation limits are not specified in evidence—verify adequate ventilation and ambient temperature range with ELK Products directly for your deployment environment.
