Edwards Early Warning Signals

CHESHIRE, Conn., July 14, 2004 – Early Warning Signals (EWS) sirens from Edwards Signaling & Security Systems® project a clear and powerful decibel level in all directions simultaneously. This 360º, omni-directional advantage means that emergency warnings are communicated for greater safety, avoiding the distorting “peaking-and-ebbing” effect associated with a rotating siren system.
Featuring continuous duty motors, Edwards EWS Series sirens offer customers a wide variety of early warning signaling solutions to fit virtually any application, large scale or mid-sized. The Series ranges from the single-tone compact EWS-V1 models, rated at 107 dB, for large industrial facilities or small communities, to the single-tone EWS-V3 units featuring projectors in an 8-horn, equal length, single-row configuration, rated at 112 and 118 dB, for warning over long distances. Dual-tone models range from the EWS-V4 Series, rated at 115 dB, to the 125 dB EWS-V8-3, the largest omni-directional siren in existence. Decibel ratings for wide area signals are calculated at 100 ft. or 30.5 m.
All exposed siren components are made of zinc-plated, steel construction that is powder-coated for the most durable finish available. The fan and housing in each model are both made of non-corrosive cast aluminum.
