Introduction
The E1000 Central Control Station is a full function, easy to use, activation and status display unit for
Whelen’s family of Mass Notification products. When connected to a PC running the E1000 Programming
and Logging software all siren system communications activity will be stored. The E1000 uses Whelen’s
standard and reliable 10 digit DTMF communication protocol.
The E1000 is an attractive, desktop unit designed for simple connection to a base station transmitter. The
E1000 has a sealed membrane keyboard and a low-power, liquid crystal display. The typical warning
activation sequence consists of selecting a Call Key or following a four-step process.
There are 20 Call Keys, which allow the user to program and execute pre-defined scenarios. All of the Call
Keys are “Hot Keys”.
The E1000 can be used to control a siren system without the use of the user programmed Call Keys. A
simple four-step procedure can be followed to control the siren system. This functionality can be helpful to
control the sirens in a way that may not have been programmed within a Call Key.
The user may select from different command, control, status or test functions. The E1000 supports up to
10,000 unique addresses.
The liquid crystal display (LCD) is a 16 line by 40 character configuration. The display is backlit for easy
reading in low ambient light. When the E1000 is not in use, a running 24 hour clock, day of the week, date
and a stand-by message are displayed.
An internal Super Capacitor is continuously “trickle” charged, to provide long life. The E1000 will
maintain its internal clock for up to 3 weeks after being unplugged. The E1000 comes with a UL listed,
AC, wall-mount, 12VDC power supply.
Rear panel screw terminal connectors are available for field wiring to the base station transceiver. The
connector supports transformer coupled audio, a Push to Talk relay closure, Squelch monitor input (active
high or low), and Channel Grant input for trunking systems.
A PC software interface stores all communication activity to the hard drive. In addition, this software can
be used to program all functions of the E1000.

Understanding the Keyboard
CALL KEYS Buttons
There are twenty (20) Call Keys available on the E1000. These keys allow for the rapid deployment of pre-
programmed sequences of commands separated by delays. Therefore Call Keys are the easiest way to
control a siren system, for typical day-to-day and emergency situations. To run a call key is as simple as
selecting the required Call Key button followed by the SEND button. For example, A Wail command is
issued to all sirens, followed by a one minute run period. Then a Cancel is sent, followed by a five second
period. Next a Digital Voice command is sent, followed by a 30 second period. Then a Cancel is sent and
the Call Key is completed. The Call Key may contain any of the commands listed in the Command Table.
Each entry is referred to as a sequence. A single Call Key may have up to 100 sequences (001-100). When
a Call Key is selected and sent, it starts with sequence 001 and continues until the last programmed
sequence. It does not repeat. A Call Key cannot activate another Call Key and Call Keys cannot be stacked.
Command Group Buttons
The command group keys are for single command activations and call key programming. To send a single
command out for Tone activations, Status requests, Digital Voice activations, Rotor commands and Test
commands press the Command Group button for the desired operation, enter an address and press
“SEND”.
UP/DOWN
The UP/DOWN arrow keys allow for navigation in the menus and the command group selections.
ENTER
The ENTER key enables commands to be accepted inside the menus.
TONE
The TONE command button opens the Tone menu. There are 9 selections accessed by the arrow
keys.
VOICE
The VOICE command button opens the Digital voice menu. There are 28 selections accessed by
the arrow keys.
ROTOR
The ROTOR command button opens the Rotor menu. There are 6 selections accessed by the arrow
keys.
TEST/MISC
The TEST/MISC command button opens the Test/misc. menu. There are 12 selections accessed by
the arrow keys.
STATUS/PROGRAM
The STATUS/PROGRAM command button opens the Status menu. Pressing the Status/Program
button twice opens the programming mode. The Status menu has 9 selections accessed by the
arrow keys. The Program mode has 17 selections accessed by the arrow keys.

SIREN ADDRESS Buttons, 0-9, #, ALL
The siren address buttons 0-9, #, ALL. This is the numeric entry keypad for all number data used in
entering siren addresses and numeric entries like delays and sequence numbers. The # and ALL enter
wildcard characters to be entered where allowed. The # key enters a single wildcard in a location and the
ALL key enters # in all locations.
Send Button
The SEND button has two functions, #1 to transmit an entered command. #2 select mode for save, erase,
and wipe in menus.
Cancel/Clear Button
The CANCEL/CLEAR button transmits an ALL CALL CANCEL Command and resets the encoder to
HOME screen.
Note: This function is for canceling commands on a global basis that were incorrectly sent.
On/Off Button
The ON/OFF button turns the E1000 off and will not allow transmission of DTMF commands.
Reset Button
The RESET button resets the E1000 to HOME screen and resets all commands to standby.
Recall Button
The RECALL button recalls the last feedback screen received.
Timed Trans. 1, 2, 3, 4
A timed transmission is a user programmable function that creates an automated activation of a user's
programmed Call Key or single command. The E1000 supports up to four separate timed transmissions.
The timed transmissions are based on the day of the week and the time of the day. Once programmed the
activation will occur every week on the time and day or days programmed.
Remote Input 1, 2
The E1000 can accept up to two momentary contact closure inputs. These inputs are available to use an
external device, supplied by others, to trigger the encoder to send control commands to the siren system. A
contact closure, capable of sinking at least 10 mA, will activate the E1000. The closure must remain active
for a minimum of 1/2 a second. When programmed by the user, the remote input can trigger the encoder to
send a single command to the sirens or run any programmed Call Key.

Manual Menu Activation
The E1000 can be used to control a siren system without the use of the user programmed Call Keys. On the
E1000, a simple four step procedure can be followed to control the siren system. This functionality can be
helpful to control the sirens in a way that may not have been programmed within a Call Key.
STEP 1, Selecting a Command Group
Using the COMMAND GROUP section of the keyboard, push the button that contains the required
command. See the Menu Selections section of this manual for the commands within each button.
STEP 2, Selecting a Command
Using the COMMAND GROUP section of the keyboard push the UP/DOWN arrow buttons to scroll to the
required command.
STEP 3, Selecting an Address
Using the SIREN ADDRESS section of the keyboard, 0-9, # or ALL buttons, enter the four digit siren
address required. If all sirens are to be controlled at the same time, push the ALL button. The ALL button
will enter the All Call address, ####. The # sign represents a “wildcard” or all values 0 to 9.
Example: To enter the address 1001, press 1 first, then 0, then 0, and 1 is last. The display will change as
shown below.
ADDR = 1???
ADDR = 10??
ADDR = 100?
ADDR = 1001
Note that entering more than four values will “bump” the address to the right. For instance, assume the
user presses the 5 key, at the end of the previous example. The address will change to 5001. The last digit
entered will remain flashing as reminder as to where the next number press will be placed.
STEP 4, Sending the Command
Press “SEND” to make the transmission. This sends the command. There is no second chance!!
NOTE: To abort press the RESET button before pressing the SEND button. If the SEND button was
pressed you can press the CANCEL/CLEAR button to shut the sirens down. CANCEL/CLEAR will send
an All Call Cancel command to the sirens.
