The Siren Board

Good question... I'm not even sure.

That would probably be some question to give a kid on here and have him call up the corporate office on his dad's cell phone...

There is no such thing as the 5v according to their website. There is a siren with no horns on it, but it is called the 3v8.

It's a 10V or 7V8 without horns. They don't advertise it on their site, but you could still probably order one from Sentry. It's the same deal with the Eclipse 8 and Eclipse N/H from Federal Signal.

What about the sentry defender? Do they still make those

Nope.

Sentry made a 3v8, and it somewhat resembles the ACA Banshee. Here's a video of one. As far as I know, they haven't discontinued it.

They do still make the 3V8-H, obviously. They're really great for smaller towns.

Sentry made the Defender I think in response to Federal's 2001 line. They weren't near as successful, and there sure aren't many of them around out there. There is however a video on YouTube floating around somewhere, looks like they were testing it before they stuck it up on a pole somewhere.

Oh I know, I was talking about the 5V. Guess I should have specified. My bad.

ok...I have got one final statement/question. When I searched the 5v on google images, it looked exactly like the 3v8. I don't wan't to cause trouble, I am just trying to point out the facts

The internet never fails to mislead.
