Siren Spec Spreadsheet

Wed Jan 19, 2022 3:39 am

Evening everyone, I've been working on this spreadsheet off and on for about two years now with Kurt, and I think I'm at the point where I can release it. A big siren spec spreadsheet, it includes the major brands FS, FS&S, ACA, ASC, Whelen, Sentry, and smaller ones such as Sterling, Red Arrow, B&N, SoCal Edison, and Secomak. I haven't seen anyone create one of these and feel it would be beneficial to have it all in one place, especially for new enthusiasts who just entered the hobby and want to learn more of the technical specs of the sirens. This includes effective range(in ft aside Secomak), Horsepower and Wattage, dB@100’ and port ratios which is still a work in progress, I might add voltage down the line, maybe amps who knows. Most of the specs were gathered from product sheets, manuals, and catalogs. Companies with a solid color under their name means the specs for those sirens are fully filled in (aside voltage) Not everything is completed as there's still some holes in the data, more towards the bottom, if you happen to know anything I don't have on it feel free to DM me or comment on this.

Thank you so so so much for posting this. There have been so many times I’ve tried to find certain information about certain sirens and never have been able to find them until much later. This is cool and really useful.
Very nice job!!
Pretty much nothing can beat listening to Danny Harmon's railfanning videos while hunting for railroad signals in the middle of nowhere Ohio.

I'm a little confused, the specs sheet says the Thunderbolts are 10HP, but aren't they 2HP, since they're basically supercharged Model 2s? Or is it referring to the blower?

10HP refers to the motor, not the chopper.
Holler!
