Emergency situation can arrive anytime or due to an accident case or malfunction of a machine or equipment in the world of machines & equipment's we live today. Emergency siren and industrial sirens can alert the occupants, residents or Employees about the emergency that can arrive within minutes or an accidental emergency situation. It can notify us about different types of emergency situation like flood, landslides, fire, earthquake, war or attacks, a chemical leakage in a factory etc. An emergency siren helps us to get ourselves evacuate from the building, factory, offices or take a shelter for safety and protect ourselves from injury or even a death case. An emergency siren can play vital role to alert the peoples in community and save the life which are in red danger zone.
In this article we will go through the different types of emergency and industrial sirens, technical feature and share the knowledge to select the correct. We will also know in detail knowledge about choosing the correct industrial & emergency siren & how to use them.
An Industrial Siren is an electrically or manually operated device which produces high-decibel sound. Industrial Sirens are ideal to use in factories, power plants, warehouse, hydropower stations, critical chemical processing plants, petroleum refining plants and other industrial environments to alert the employees in case of emergency. An industrial siren can also notify about shift change timings-break notifications, emergency situation or danger situation to evacuate immediately from the premises. Depending on construction build method, design and application to use there are several types of industrial sirens. It's very important to know about the emergency-industrial siren to meet safety compliance, efficient operations and occupant's alerts.
In an industry we deal with different level of noise that are produced by the machines in an operating condition. So, a siren designed to use in a peaceful area like a warehouse, hydropower tunnel, school, public building, museums etc. might not be as good as a siren designed for an industrial environments. Understanding the different types of industrial and emergency siren can help us on:-
Let's know about different types of industrial emergency sirens knowing about their strength, sound levels and best application environments.
An electric siren is a sound device which can produce high decibel or pitched sound through its electric motor and horn. Electric Motor Sirens are designed to use in an emergency situation to alert the occupants in a danger situation. These sirens are assigned to generate powerful loud sound by utilizing air pressure by rotating the motor, mechanical siren sound. Electric Motorized Sirens are ideal to use on both indoor & outdoor areas where high pitched sound is essential to alert.
Benefits of Electric Motorized Siren:
Wide area of application: Electric Sirens can be used in Factories, Mining, Tunnels, Airports, and Military Zones, and Municipality, industrial and manufacturing zones. Etc.
Electronic /sirens are designed with electronic circuit and are programmable. They can produce different varieties of sound tones through digital tones generators & speakers. An electric siren can be programmed for different tones and Public Voice Announcement.
Hand Operated Siren: Hand operated sirens are the siren which can be operated without any electric power source. They are operated manually by rotating the crank fitted with siren by hand. As the handle is rotated it starts producing high decibel sound. As no power source is required they are portable and easy to carry.
Hand Operated Siren are widely used in remote areas or in disaster period during power outage. They are reliable, portable, budget friendly. They are built and designed to ensure fully functional under any condition. They are widely used by community, rescuers, volunteers, remote camps, mines and emergency preparedness plans.
Pneumatic Industrial Sirens
The sirens which are controlled by air supply system are known as pneumatic sirens. They are widely used in industrial applications by utilizing compressed air. Pneumatic industrial sirens are used in gas plants, petroleum's refineries, and high risk explosive stores or critical environment where there high risk of fire due to small electrical spark's.
Sirens that can be programmed or can be controlled through a built in programmable circuit is called timer based sirens. These sirens can be scheduled to operate in desired time with accuracy in hourly basis, daily or case of any industrial faults or detection reducing manual operation.
