What is the difference between Whelen WPS-4004 and Whelen Vortex R4?

Tue Feb 23, 2021 12:10 pm

They are the same, how do I know which is which. They look the same and sound the same. Please tell me how to distinguish them. Thanks.

Basically what Eows said. As far as I'm aware Vortexes only had the finback option too, though I'd need someone else with extensive knowledge on Whelens to verify that.

Vortex sirens also have the options of R1, R2, R3, and R4, which I believe distinguishes the amount of drivers. As far as I know, the 4004 only comes in the 4 driver configuration.
Sirens may not be sexy, but they sure work.

The 4004 also has a control box with two doors while the R4 has one.

The 4004 also can be the 4003.

Well, I looked up Whelen Vortex R3, and it still has 4 throats. Is one of the throats empty without a driver?

I think either that or the drivers in the throats are of less wattage.
