Cyclone™ Siren

The Cyclone™ mechanical siren by ASC is designed for community warning, industrial warning, nuclear disaster, petrochemical, military applications that require high levels of consistent 360° sound coverage.

The Cyclone™ siren can be activated locally or from a central point using radio or land line activation systems. An encoder located at a central control point can be used to transmit activation commands via hardware or radio frequency. RTU units can initiate siren activation, provide signal timing, and with the CompuLert™ SCADA program transmit siren status information to document operational capabilities.

The Most Powerful Maintenance Free Omni-Directional Outdoor Warning Siren.

The CYCLONE C-125-AC Siren provides sound coverage throughout 360° at all times .
  
With siren warning signal coverage over 4 square miles one unit can cover more consistently than 4-5 smaller sirens, reducing installation costs and multi-point maintenance problems. The Cyclone siren requires No Maintenance once installed.

Key Benefits

Omni-Directional 360 coverage. This stationary unit eliminates mechanical parts which require maintenance to rotate. (No belts, chains, bearings, or pulleys to worry about.

Has been installed in some of the worlds toughest environments and performed perfectly since it's introduction in 1967.

System Design
The Cyclone™ C-125-AC™ Siren utilizes aluminum sound-producing components which are covered in color-impregnated fiberglass to eliminate rusting and painting maintenance. Sirens are mounted directly over the center mounting poles so that guy wires are not required. The C-125-AC" is the largest omni mechanical sound-producing sirens capable of covering over 9.9 square miles. In comparison, the 125-128 dB at 100 ft.-rated sirens cover 2.2 to 3.1 square miles (a 4 to I ratio), making the C-125-AC™ very cost effective for large area warning signals.

Activation
The C-125-AC'"can be activated by using landlines (hardwired relays) or by radio controls. Various encoding formats allow for tone activation of multiple siren signals. Two items are required: an encoder at a central dispatch location, and a Universal Remote Terminal Unit (U-RTU) mounted at the siren location. The U-RTU is interfaced with the MC-35-3 Siren Motor Control. American Signal manufactures a complete line of radio controled systems.

Installation
The C-125-AC "should be mounted 65' to 75' above ground level per FEMA CPG 1-17 and for maximum sound dispersion. Controls should be mounted 10' to 15' above ground to discourage vandals.
