Meet the Gibon 1800 W siren From Central and South america.

Mon Jan 11, 2021 9:01 pm

The Gibon 1800 W siren is a omnidirectional siren built by the company Telegrafia. It is similar to design to a FS Chuki (a siren from japan I may or may not talk about later) With the only difference is the Gibon 1800 W siren has square horns instead of rounded ones. Favored by Industrial plots Its design is meant to withstand dust and high temperatures, as well as environments where background noise is at 84Dbc. Higley Modifiable The unique construction of the Gibon 1800 W siren is meant to be highly modifiable such as: Speaker placement, different controls from simple push buttons to binary inputs the Gibon siren is highly modifiable. The Gibon 1800 W siren first started its journey in 2016 when a cement factory was in need of a warning system. The Story went along like this: In a mountainous region of Colombia, South America, there is one of the largest cement factories in the country. Due to the climatic conditions, the region is rich in rainfall, and the humidity is extremely high. The high temperatures in grinding stone while making cement may lead to the temperatures rising to 55°C at the plant. Furthermore, a great number of small dust particles is produced and released into the air. The manufacture of cement of various types requires a process involving high-temperature furnaces, gigantic stone crushing mills, and many other elements in the constant movement. Therefore, the background noise in the plant is 84 dB, indicating that only a powerful electronic siren can carry a clear message to all places where over 800 people work 24 hours every day. The Cement factory installed an alert system consists of 12 Gibon horns, which are made of anticorrosive aluminum alloy and strategically arranged on the plant tower. They supply 800 people with alert information in case of emergencies. The system, which is equipped with a control panel and a microphone, can deliver three types of warning messages that announce the level of risk and provide the personnel with specific instructions on the actions to be taken. It is connected via the LAN network. The siren is backed-up with batteries, which allow its operation even if there is a power failure. It is mounted on a stainless steel pole, ensuring its maximum durability.

On another note the advertisement claims to have been selling the Gibon 1800 W siren all over the world although there is not much evidence to support this claim, there are images in the PDF showing this siren in various places. now for a bit of a Q and A (sort of and I am answering them mostly on my opinion supported with facts)

Q: is this a good siren as a starter siren for collecting?
A: Absolutely! It is super easy to control using a web-based application that used Google Maps, And earth to easily figure out noise background levels. And the controls can be easily modified to suit your personal needs!

Q: What Dbc is the Gibon 1800 W siren rated?
A: Unfortunately checking product sheets and articles no Dbc rating could be found HOWEVER one YouTube video states it is rated at 83Dbc.

Q: Is the siren affordable to buy brand new?
A: yes the Gibon 1800 W siren is optimized to be price efficient. there are 3 available packs you can buy the Gibon basic, Gibon option pack 1, 2, and 3. And all come with different modifications.

]Edit: More info [12/12/2020]
Today after conducting more research I found out where the Gibon 1800 W siren Got its name now for a littlie bit of context, Gibeon means gibbon in English, is a small monkey living on trees all its life. This monkey has very long upper and lower limbs but has no tail. Despite having a small and round head, it is characterised by a highly developed brain, making it a smart animal. The monkey lives in South-East and East Asia, and it can be found in Bangladesh, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, and China. Ok Now that we know what its name represents lets get back on track to the Gibon 1800 W siren Now the relation these monkeys have to do with the Gibon 1800 W siren. now the article states the relation between this primate and their electric siren like this: Gibbons are the second loudest primates after howlers (lat. Alouatta). They have an enlarged throat sac, which inflates and serves as a resonating chamber. Their voices are so potent that they can be heard up to a distance of 1.5 km. The monkeys are strongly territorial, live in small troops, and they defend their territories with vigorous morning screaming The typical properties of the monkeys and our electronic sirens have led to the naming of our second most powerful line of sirens after them. The Gibon electronic sirens are modular and cost-optimised (comprising small horns and plastic siren boxes) for smaller warning systems. Besides that, they can be used as stand-alone devices. Acoustically, the Gibon electronic sirens do not lag far behind the Pavian electronic sirens.

Before the times of Air Raid Sirens:
Now In the Middle Ages, people started to use bells to alert – church bells or special fire bells. Lots of scientists believe that the main function of the bell was not to play music, but to give warning in fact. The bell served as a means of warning the population of impending disasters, public disturbances, or approaching enemies for many years. Over time, cities and towns had grown, developed, and one bell to notify the neighborhood was no longer sufficient. There was a need for new technical solutions in the field of early warning and emergency notification. At the end of the 18th century, the first brave attempts were made to create a mechanical warning device and automate it. A typical example was the fire bell in those days – a heavy load hanging on a rope. When a fire burned the rope, the load fell down and hit an alarming bell. Furthermore, there were other attempts to devise equipment that could respond to temperature change, tension or strain, amount of liquid, etc. In the 20th century, the early warning systems developed rapidly because of WW I and WW II. They became massive and more centralized, covering a significant number of towns and cities and providing an opportunity to inform as many inhabitants as possible. (Now I would put more of the article page but it just discusses some broad info almost everyone knows)

Types of monitoring stations used:
EMA Compact – an ultra-compact and resistant all-in-one monitoring station that, besides the measurement of the above parameters, can send this information to mobile phones or control centres and activate some system elements on its own.
EMA Professional – a high-performance monitoring station that contains all the functions of the compact version but will enjoy its applications in industrial and more sophisticated security systems. It can control valves, motors and actuators as well as communicate with other devices within the system on multiple channels. It can also convey audio messages and act as a siren or radio itself as the need may arise.
EMA Industrial – the most powerful modular monitoring station that is intended for complex and highly-automated systems (e.g. in industrial parks) where loads of data need to be monitored and evaluates at multiple levels. It provides the above functions as well as many outputs, adjustment and automation options, lighting control, beacons and the like.

The siren is not made by Gibion, it is made by Telegrafia. Also, could you show a picture of the FS Chuki?
Sirens may not be sexy, but they sure work.
