Tempest T-135 SirenTM
T-I35-AC siren is the world's most powerful siren.
The T-l35-AC™siren is a 135 dB rotational directional siren designed for
large urban and rural communities and nuclear power plant Emergency
Planning Zones. Because the T-l35-AC™is the world's loudest siren, it will
cover the same radial area as four (4) 127 dB sirens, and reduce the
number of sirens and associated installation and maintenance costs
necessary for your community.
Features:
- The World's Loudest Mechanical AC/DC Siren.
- One unit provides consistent coverage at lower cost than 4 127dB sirens.
- All external horns and covers are fiberglass. No painting or eye sore problems over time.
- 132 dB avg. @ 100 ft
System Design
The Rotational T-l35-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 T-135-AC™are the world's
largest 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 T-l35-AC™ siren very cost effective for
large area warning signals.
Activation
The T-l35-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 controlled
systems.
Installation
The T-135-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.

The latest in innovative emergency
notification products from ASC.
With 60 years of
experience in the warning system industry,
ASC has produced the Tempest" to be the
most Reliable and Functionally Dependable
Siren System on the market.
Available in low-cost AC operation, DC battery
pack operation, and True UPS design with AC
Power as the main supply source and DC battery
backup in the event of power failure.
Tempest™ is the only AC/DC siren that
has the ability to test the battery package on
a weekly or monthly siren test as a UPS-type
of system. Other manufacturers provide DC
operation only with trickle charging for
battery packages or AC/DC conversion where the
batteries are exercised only when AC power
fails. Many times that is too late to find out
that the batteries are not ready for
operation.
ASC can also provide all electrical
control components such as the Siren Control,
Radio Decoder (optional), and Service
Disconnect to one mounting channel which is
pre-wired at the factory. This mounting
configuration reduces field installation
mistakes and installation time and cost. |
