American Signal Corporation, Outdoor Warning Sirens manufacturer, a leader in the warning systems industry.

Outdoor Warning Siren Systems

In order to provide citizens with the most effective outdoor warning system possible, cities utilize outdoor warning sirens from American Signal Corporation for all national weather service storm warnings, as well as other emergencies.

Outdoor Warning Sirens are primarily used to warn your community of severe weather conditions. The outdoor sirens are also used for other emergencies such as a hazardous chemical spill which requires residents to evacuate their homes.

Give your residents peace of mind, high winds and lightning produced during a storm cause power outages. Your residents won't have television or radio to hear warnings. An outdoor warning siren becomes your most effective and reliable avenue to warn your community.

American Signal Corporation (ASC) offers a broad range of electronic sirens and mechanical sirens along with industrial communications equipment that will reliably meet your emergency management responsibilities. ASC is dedicated to providing communities and industrial facilities throughout the world with the most effective, reliable communications and alerting systems manufactured.

Why use outdoor warning sirens?
Sirens are still the most effective method to warn the population at large in the shortest amount of time. People who may be outdoors at ball games, in their yard, or anywhere else where they are not in contact with the normal news media channels such as radio, TV or local public address systems.

Even with the global conflict reduced, there are still many areas that sirens still are effectively used to warn people of possible threats to their safety.

How are they activated?
Radio control is the most popular method of activating sirens. To activate the siren system, the operator presses a button and a radio signal is transmitted. The signals are picked up by the receivers at the sirens. They decode the paging signals to determine what they are to do. A particular signal may instruct the sirens to give a weather warning call, while still another may cause the sirens to stop their sounding. With the new generation of communication signal processors, the variations are limitless.

American Signal has developed the ONLY AC/DC siren that has the ability to test itself the battery package on a weekly or monthly siren test as a UPS type of system.
