The Siren Specialists

[CABLEVision]

Ahahahahaha

I wonder how well those aluminum horns will hold up in the next storm.

Wonder what federal thinks of this?

When I talked to this guy last year on eBay he said none of them have been installed in any towns.

I think we should ALL e-mail Federal Signal with their link. It's one thing to make copies in China and sell them domestically. It's a whole different ballgame when they are sold in the US where the design is patented. I've already done so.

I haven't come across any patents of the Model 2 or any of the sirens that the Chinese company makes. I don't think there are any.

and even so, any patents on the model 2 would have expired a long time ago.

Do you think this has escaped Federal's notice? They're a lot slower on the uptake than I thought if that's the case.

Lion King is doing what many have done. There's nothing unique or patented about a rotary siren, and there's a long line of chicken feeder style housings from a variety of vendors over the years. Plus, patents expire after 17 years (20 years for patents after June 8, 1995).

I usually do not post replies, but I thought that I had to in this case. I do not know who this company is but they are new. It seems that the users of this board have overlooked the most important mistakes on this site.

1. There is a picture of the Model 2 that said Electronic siren on the icon

2. The model 2 has in red 1.5 miles radius and in the specs it is 1.5 in diameter. However if you do the math the coverage of a model 2 at 102db at 100' is 880' which is less than a quarter mile.

There are so many mistakes on this site that it is embarrassing for the company I stopped at 15 mistakes. This company cannot be "Siren Specialists"

[500 AT fan]

LOL. Yuh. "Electronic" sirens refers to the likes of Whelens and EOWS's. ELECTRIC would be a better description, in my opinion.


SIRENMAN, do you work for any REAL professional siren companies?

[Dieselfan66]

They look like Sentry's

[piski125]

Those guys are not siren specialists.

I can prove it:




This is the model # for this:

Electric Omni-Directional
MODEL: SIREN-STH21-2

DUAL TONE
ESTIMATED 2 MILE
WARNING RADIUS


The model says "STH", but the description says "Dual Tone".

STH stands for "Single tone high".

Is it single tone or dual tone?

[Jim_Ferer]

Piski said, "STH stands for "Single tone high".
That stood for "single tone high" with Federal, but here it means "Cheaper Chinese Knockoff."
