The Cyclone has been discontinued for several years. There still seems to be some confusion about it because ASC has always done a pretty fantastically horrible job of keeping their website updated/accurate.

The Cyclone as an ASC siren is the C-125. Technically it was discontinued, and the new site no longer shows it, however to my knowledge they do still produce them for customers overseas that request them through a custom order. I'm actually surprised that they haven't taken the chopper from the T-135 AC/DC and turned that into an omni yet. I could see it pushing 125 dB, since the chopper itself is close to the size of the one in the single tone Banshee or Sentry 14V. If I'm not mistaken they also continued to sell the Screamer S2 and S7.5 as OM series sirens, but I don't remember the model/SPL numbers.

Was the OM-120 a ACA product originally? I think it’s the updated screamer, but I can’t confirm that.

The OM-120 was a ASC branded Performance Plus Banshee. It was a 9 port DC powered siren (basically an omni-directional RM-130). They have them in Brookfield, WI, I believe and at Chevron Richmond Refinery (Contra Costa County System) in Richmond, CA, based on videos I have seen of them. I actually kind of liked those sirens and would rather see those than the T-121, but that's just my opinion. I'm in pretty much all Federal Signal territory so I can't give you a personal opinion as I've never seen or heard one besides from on YouTube.

Just looking at your list, don't forget that the P-15 was renamed the RM-127, and also replaced by the T-128 like the RM-130. However, Werden Electric/Werden Siren obtained the rights from ASC to manufacture the RM-127, and they renamed it the P-127 (P standing for Portent). They've installed a number of them around Greater Cincinnati and Dayton.

Don't forget the Banshee patents as well!

Bumping my topic, I have updated the list. Let me know if there are any more. Thanks

Correction...The Werden P-115 should be the B-115.

Below I have attached two photos of brochures from not long before the name was changed to ASC. I would assume with the exception of the Allertor and that strange electronic siren pictured, the rest of the sirens went on to be produced for a few more years.

The B&W photo came from the Michigan Civil Defense Museum website which I believe is run by a current or former member of this site. I believe the color photo was saved from the Facebook group.
