Portable wide-area siren from Klaxon

Company introduces rapidly deployable version of its wide-area early-warning systems

THE Klaxon ES-P is a robust, sophisticated and rapidly deployable early-warning system that offers a viable portable option for many wide-area signalling applications. It is a portable version of Klaxon’s existing wide-area systems for ‘COMAH, evacuation and lockdown’ situations.

While fixed sirens will always be required, it is often necessary to have a backup in case a fixed unit is damaged or faulty. The ES-P is well suited to this purpose and meets the demands from industry for an early-warning system that can be easily and quickly moved from location to location.

As standard, it is designed to be powered from the 12V power socket of a vehicle, while its rubber-coated magnetic feet allow it to be placed virtually anywhere, including on a vehicle roof. These features make it particularly suitable for quarrying and open cast mining, and many other agile, mass-notification applications.

The control case is also available as a ‘portable control room’ for the ES-X and ES-S models. In this case, instead of the 12V vehicle power socket, a 230V AC connection and backup battery is provided. The connection utilizes UHF/VHF radio communications between the case and the site sirens.

Key features of the ES-P include: Audibility of 98dB(A) at 30m; Live PA via hand-held microphone; 12V fused vehicle power supply plug; Silent test facility; Adjustable tones and operation via programming port; Self-healing short circuit on output amplifier; Quick-lok speaker cable between control case and horn for quick and tidy setup; Siren activity and fault report log stored in NVM; Integrated CMC 4 with mag-key lock for authorized operation; Case rated to IP67 when closed; and Operating temperature range of –20 to +60°C.
