Alerting Communicators of America Sirens
| Allertor 125 This siren is identified by its periscope-like horn on top and the chopper being underneath. In terms of sound, it uses a gas engine like the ones used in leaf blowers. Like other sirens in the range, it will coast to a stop instead of coming to an abrupt stop when shut off. Sample video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=em5-ct2C6Tk |

50 (aka "ASC T-135") Was one of the loudest sirens still in production until they were completely redesigned. Had been easily recognized by being basically the ACA Cyclone turned horizontally with an extra cone over it, making it enormous up close. These were carried over when ACA became American Signal Corporation. Sample video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlNx_KOA-gA |
| Cyclone 125 One could almost call it the vertical version of the P-50 above, but its design is pretty iconic with the cone on top and the grill-like intake design. Sample video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEONvTjUBvw |
| Hurricane Was probably among one of the company's top sellers, it was intended to compete with Federal Sign and Signal's Thunderbolt siren and can easily be identified by its rounded shape and double-throat design. Much like the Thunderbolt, it uses a blower and has a more raspy sound by comparison. The original version of the siren, much like other companies' previous versions of their sirens, were square-horned, and thus much rarer. Sample video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZhaXuDlJZ4 |

10/15/20 Basically identical twins with very little to tell them apart, unlike the P-50. They were also carried over, but were renamed the RM-130 with a slight redesign. Sample video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUZpfQWTkNM |
