With an output at 1m in
excess of 140dB, louder than
a jet engine on full power at
take off, the new A141 high
output disaster siren and
alarm from E2S is the most
powerful device ever
produced by the company.
With a power increase from 100 to 400W, the output of the A141 is substantially higher than the A140 it replaces, giving it an effective warning range of between 500 and 750m, depending on the atmospheric conditions.
The unit has a choice of 32 user-selectable warning tones and with second and third stage alarm capability, it is ideal for use in quarries, on large industrial and petrochemical sites and for civil defence requirements.
The A141 generates multiple internationally recognised alarm tones including fire, security, civil defence, alert, COMAH (SEVESO II) toxic gas alarms and disaster warnings for flood, tsunami, tornado and other severe weather conditions.
The A141 is powered from 24VDC or 115/230VAC. The mainspowered versions can be fitted with battery backup to enable it unit to operate for up to 30 minutes without mains power; AC power and battery voltage can be remotely monitored for potential faults. Radio control capability, utilising secure telemetry for additional security, is available to enable wire-free installation on large sites.
Both AC and DC versions feature low start-up inrush current and low operating current draw.
