Whelen Sirens and Emergency Warning Mass Notification Systems - Magnum Electronics Inc.

Whelen WPS 2900 Siren Series

Omni-Directional Sirens provide clear, uniform and powerful 360° warning instantaneously throughout their coverage area. Unique stackable omni-directional speaker cells allow you the flexibility to match economy and sound output to meet your needs. All models include a complete speaker assembly and an electronics assembly contained within a natural finish aluminum cabinet. Standard warning tones provided are designed to operate in the highly effective, low frequency range for the most efficient and powerful warning at distances from the system.

Benefits

• Indiscriminate warning - you do not need an expensive pager or cell phone to be warned.  Voice sirens will not discriminate.  They will warn everyone within a specified area.
• Wireless activation of sirens, even in the absence of AC power
• All sirens are battery-operated
• Solar charging systems available for areas absent of AC power
• Clear and effective public address broadcasting
• Clear and concise ALERT and INFORM.  ALERT with a tone, INFORM with a digitized custom voice message
• Voice messages can be customized for language and duration appropriate to your community, with your instructions
• Standard message memory storage is 240, 480 or 960 seconds
• Coastal area populations often increase substantially, depending upon what time of year it is.  Voice sirens eliminate confusion for the tourist, before, during and after an event
• Individual control over remote sites.  Sometimes it is not necessary to warn all, just a few.

Features

• Specifically designed for coastal applications
• Choice of 1 to 10 omni-directional speaker cells assembled in a vertical column.  Whelen siren speaker arrays are made of UV stabilized LEXAN® 3433R.  This material will stand up to moisture, salt and wind better than competitor's metal speakers.
• Ten models, 109dBC to 129dBC
• Omni-directional aero-dynamic design allows for high wind conditions
• Temperature-compensated battery charger
• Each speaker cell uses one EZ-PULL 400 watt driver, eliminating distortion and power loss that occurs from mixing the outputs of multiple speaker drivers in a cell - as found in competitive systems
