A Warning System You Can Trust

In the first 9 months of 2020, the NOAA recorded 16 weather/climate disasters totaling over $1 billion dollars in damage each, tying 2011 and 2017 for the highest annual number of disaster events affecting the United States. Of those, 11 involved severe weather, hail, or tornadoes.

In these times of uncertainty and increasing weather severity, communities need reliable warning systems.

Sirens Equipped with Battery Backup

The Sentry Model 16V1T-B, Model 14V-B, and Model 7V8-B normally run from 230 VAC, single phase electrical service; however, if your community were to lose power, these sirens would then run from their banks of rechargeable batteries which will run the sirens for a cumulative time 30 minutes.

More than two decades ago, one of our first battery back-up models was installed in a little town in the Texas panhandle.  Some years later, the town was struck by a powerful tornado which, unfortunately, destroyed the siren.  When the fire chief called us for a replacement, he said that the siren had continued to sound on batteries even after it had been ripped out of the ground and only ceased upon returning to the earth.  That is the reliability of a Sentry siren.

Standard AC Only Sirens

These sirens run directly from AC power.  Most models are available in single phase and three phase electrical service.  AC sirens are recommended for areas where severe weather does not usually cause power outages.  Small AC only sirens are sometimes paired with generators.

In May of 2007, a community in Kansas was struck by an EF5, destroying nearly the entire city.  Twenty minutes before the tornado hit, the city’s four Sentry sirens, three of which were more than fifteen years old, were set off, successfully warning families to take shelter.  That is the reliability of a Sentry siren.
