I have an ATW Doberman siren/strobe, but I'm only using the strobe. I've hooked Output 16 to it, and wrote a rule to turn on output 16 for 4 seconds every 15 seconds. The strobe doesn't light.
With the strobe disconnected, and a multimeter hooked to the output16 wires, it reads the 12VDC for 4 seconds every 15 seconds, as expected.
With the strobe connected to a separate 12VDC power supply, it flashes fine.
Do the ELK outputs not like flashers and I have to go through a relay (w/ output 16 as the trigger) and a separate power supply?
Any other things to try?
