The Siren Board

So I have found out that there is more than one aca banshee siren in Kenosha county. Now I know that the banshee on 7th avenue is a 115 but I'm not sure if the one on 95th is a 110 or 115 because I have never heard that one go off.

From what I'm seeing on maps it is a single tone 115

You can thank me and Sam for finding that second Banshee. And it is another 115.

Those are Banshee 15s. By 1980, ACA was ranking sirens by horsepower rather than purported decibel rating. The Banshee was being offered as a 10 or 15 horsepower single head siren. Single tone was usually 15 HP while dual tone could be 10 or 15 HP depending on what motor came in that day. There was also a Banshee 25 which was the "Super Banshee". I do not think many Banshee 25s were sold during this time period as every example I've seen was a 10 or 15.

The Banshee 15 became the OM-117 under ASC and was more or less superseded by the OM-120.

That's what I figured do you know if it works?

sweet thanks man
