Alertronic High Powered Voice Siren

The AL-Siren Series by ASC is designed for community, industrial, nuclear, petrochemical, or other applications that require high levels of sound pressure level output with superb acoustical performance and brilliant voice notification broadcasting. The AL-Siren Series can be activated locally or from a central point using radio or land line. Multiple sirens can be activated from a central point. An encoder located at the central point transmits activation codes to the siren decoder that initiates the proper tones or pre-recorded voice messages. The electronic control decoders are programmable for various tone out protocols, including TTS, DTMF, and FSK. Any of 10 standard or 6 optional customized tones can be activated. ASC can also provide all electrical control components factory configured, reducing field installation mistakes and siren installation time and cost.

Siren Design Characteristics


Siren Models AL-4000 & AL-8000 produce 115 and 126 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 color-impregnated fiberglass siren horns endure severe weather conditions, are maintenance free, and will not rust or require painting. The optional 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 gray siren horn color remains aesthetically pleasing and the low silhouette siren design discourages vandalism.


The AL-8000 siren provides a sound pressure level of 70 decibels for approximately I radial mile, subject to weather conditions.


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 lockable, 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, except AL 1000 model.


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, low-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.

American owned and operated
American Signal Corporation, originally known as ACA or Alerting Communicators of America has been designing and manufacturing warning systems and providing clients with turn-key installation services for almost 60 years. In 1982, we became the first company in the industry to provide a wireless digital supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system called CompuLert™ with over 6000 installations world-wide. The advancements in the siren designs include battery operation, high powered Voice/Sirens, indoor alerting systems and with the experience in the wireless field, American Signal has the expertise to meet virtually any warning system project goal.

Our engineering and system specialists work hand in hand with clients to assist in the development of the project scope, so that we understand and are able to meet the goals of our clients. Our client base includes municipal governments (Village, Town, City, County and entire Countries), industrial facilities, and military bases. When our clients make the decision or commitment to provide their constituents or employees with emergency notification, whether natural disaster or man made, American Signal can take you from start to finish. We can coordinate efforts from needs assessments, acoustical surveys and technical proposals, to radio system back-bone studies, installation and service/maintenance contracts.  
In our new production facilities we have the ability to respond to customer lead time requirements quicker and with more consistency than our competition and we would welcome the opportunity to respond to you.
