[. . . ] The ELK-124 will playback the message (if any) that was previously recorded. While the message is playing, press and hold the record switch SW1. When the Red REC/ EOM LED comes on, speak clearly into the on-board microphone. Silently release the record switch at the end of the message. Remove the trigger input to stop the playback. To change the message or to correct a mistake repeat the above procedure. To record another channel apply the trigger voltage to that channel and repeat the above procedure. Messages longer than 30 seconds will overflow record into the next channel (provided JP4 is set to the GT30 position) but must be played back from the channel where the recording began. Note: If the maximum record time is reached or exceeded, the red REC/EOM LED will start blinking to indicate that recording time has halted. If this happens, the trigger input must be removed and re-applied to start playback. Channel 1 negative (-) input trigger. For control panels (such as DSC) that have a switched negative alarm output. Negative input triggering is only available for channel 1. NOTE: To sequentially playback multiple channels, apply and maintain voltage triggers to multiple inputs. 4 Ohm load) Jumper Options JP1) MIC, for recording with the on board microphone. PRG, for recording with ELK-129 computer interface. JP2) 1SHOT, limits playback to one time per trigger. The trigger for the channel must then be removed and re-applied before the message will be played again. REPEAT, message continously plays back for as long as the input trigger is applied. 1-SHOT REPEAT REPEAT POSITION With shorting plug on these two pins 1 SHOT POSITION With shorting plug on these two pins FIGURE 2 - Jumper JP2 Selections JP3) DIS SW, disables the record pushbutton switch and prevents accidental recording. EN SW, enables the record pushbutton switch. JP4) GT30, enables record and playback of messages greater than 30 seconds with message recording overflowing** into the next channel. 30SEC, messages cannot overflow into the next channel and are limited to 30 seconds. Volume and Current Adjust Turning the Volume Increase knob clockwise increases the speaker volume. The louder the volume, the higher the current draw. [. . . ] Load All current must be supplied from the Control Panel Outputs. Maximum current draw with a 8 Ohm speaker load is 1. 2 Amps, or 1. 8 Amps with a 4 Ohm load. The current may be reduced down to 1/4 amp by adjusting the volume lower.
