Model 2 Omnidirectional Siren

Federal Signal’s Model 2 siren is the most commonly used siren for fire station and industrial plant alerting. The siren is an outdoor warning siren providing omnidirectional coverage and 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 at 100 feet while making only moderate power source demands. The Model 2 has a high-powered AC motor which operates from either 120 Vac/dc or 240 Vac/dc.  A Federal Signal Model RC2W Motor Starter (purchased separately) is required to operate this 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 predetermined interval, and can be activated through radio control or remote 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 and stop work signaling, plant evacuation, or other emergency situations.
