The SSX-81 is a more powerful version of the SSX-51. The SSX-81 is an indoor/outdoor, self-contained, 25 watt, dual tone armored siren.
The full featured siren consists of a dual tone that delivers a steady or warble sound output (steady overrides warble), light weight, rust-proof,
aluminum die-cast housing, a 127 dB output siren driver, and a dual action normally open reed plunger switch for normally closed loop. The
armored siren does not require additional modules, metal boxes, tamper switches, special tools, or training to install and operate. The SSX-81
series comes completely assembled and ready for installation. The SSX-81S Siren Strobe combination is also available. It is a high quality, high
output siren with a 60,000 candle power strobe with available lens colors: amber, blue, clear, and red.
The SSX-81 series is ideally suited for noisy, heavy machinery areas, warehouses, loading docks, print shops, busy production oors, or for
indoor/outdoor applications where high quality and high output warning is required.
