 Siren Design Characteristics
Siren
Models EC1 through EC-12 produce 121 up to 128 decibels respectively,
tested in free field non- reflective measurement environments with
repeatable results. Applications include omni-directional or quadrant
configurations for 90*-360* coverage patterns. The spun aluminum
re-entrant siren horns endure severe weather conditions. ;ire
maintenance Free, and will not rust or require painting. The Electronic
Controls have a self contained, regulated battery charging system that
assures full siren operation during AC outages The control charging unit
requires a nominal 120 VAC 50/60Hz power with 5 amp service. The tan
siren horn color remains aesthetically pleasing and the tow silhouette
siren design discourages vandalism.
The optional electronic controls include 6 push buttons for local, manual
operation of the siren, to initiate a variety of tones or prerecorded
messages. LEDs provide component or power service status information.
The amplifiers are individually fused and switchable between hi and low
outputs (from 100 watts to 6 watts per speaker driver), for testing and
servicing without the necessity of hearing protection The electronic
control is encased in a lockabie, outdoor-use-rated NEMA enclosure.
Special cabinets rated for specific environments are available upon
request
The Rechargeable batteries are encased in a separate, lockable,
maintenance-free-enclosure, designed to isolate and prevent any battery
fumes from damaging electrical components. The recommended low
maintenance 12 VDC deep cycle marine-type batteries are optional.
Installation
For maximum sound dispersion sirens should be mounted 45'-55' above
grade?. An optional pole mount is available for mounting the poles on a
standard wooden utility pole. The center mount, tow-silhouette siren
design eliminates the need for support wires. The sirens can also be
mounted on proper structures such as roofs, towers, etc. Mounting
brackets for these applications and additional installation accessories
are available from American Signal Corporation.
Field Programming
Each electronic control includes an RS-232 port for field
programming of tones and time duration. The 6 custom programmable tones
can be software programmed to generate almost any tone or tone sequence.
MACROs, customized tones and pre-recorded messages in repeated play
cycles, and new tones, can be field programmed as your needs change.

TTS/DTM/FSK Decoder boards for
function activation
CompuLert™ CSC-960
programmable encoder & status monitor (two-way) with hot key radio or landline
activation & system monitoring battery backup
