Federal Signal’s Model 2 omni-directional siren is the most commonly used siren for fire station and industrial plant alerting. The omni-directional siren is an outdoor warning siren capable of producing intense warning signals over a large area. The siren is typically installed on a roof or a standard utility pole.

The Model 2 siren is a mechanical single-tone siren capable of producing 102 dBc @ 100’ while making only moderate power source demands. The Model 2 has a high-powered AC motor which operates from either 120VAC/DC or 240VAC/DC.  A Federal Signal Model RC2W-120 or -240  motor starter (purchased separately) is required to operate this omni-directional siren. The Federal Signal motor starter is recommended due to its ability to handle the specific requirements of the Model 2 siren.

The Model 2 siren and motor starter can be used with the FC controller to further control the Model 2 siren. The FC provides relay contact closures to activate the RC2W-XXX motor starter. The FC controller can be programmed to activate the Model 2 siren for a per-determined interval and can be activated through radio control or through remote push buttons.

Federal Signal’s Model 2 siren can serve as an outdoor plant-wide warning system where volume is needed to contrast with high ambient industrial sounds. It is ideal for use in the large, wide-open areas found in industrial facilities such as refineries, steel mills, and manufacturing plants. The Model 2 siren can be used for start/stop work signaling, plant evacuation, or other emergency situations.
