Loud or Outdoor Dry Contact Ringer
In this application, an 8 Ω horn speaker has
been added for significant improvement in output
volume. The Duet Plus can provide more power
than the internal speaker is capable of handling.
Only 25% of the available power is provided to
the internal speaker. The SPKR terminals provide
access to 100% of the power.
For outdoor applications, a weatherproof horn
speaker (such as Algo’s 1185) can be mounted
on an outside wall, while the Duet Plus is located
safely indoors. Besides keeping the Duet Plus dry,
this also makes tone and volume adjustment or
other maintenance easier.
The internal speaker may be left in use or
disconnected depending on option shunt J3 (SPK).
If the shunt is on, then the internal speaker is
enabled. Remove the shunt (park it on one pin
only) to disable the speaker.
The TEST button will activate the warble through
the horn speaker.
