The European directive “Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment” (WEEE)
aims to minimise the impact of electrical and electronic equipment waste on
the environment and human health. To conform with this directive, electrical
equipment marked with this symbol must not be disposed of in European public
disposal systems. European users of electrical equipment must now return
end-of-life equipment for disposal. Further information can be found on the
following website: http://www.recyclethis.info/.
Installation
a. Fix the siren to a firm level base at a minimum height of 3m above the
ground and free of side or top obstructions.
b. For best all round sound propagation, mount the unit at a height of 4.5
to 6m with 50m clear radius all round.
c. Figure 1 above shows a polar plot of the sound output from the sirens
at 1 metre in ideal free-field conditions
Note that the propagation of sound in air is affected by the following factors
which must be accounted for when calculating the coverage of the siren:
• Variations of the propagation speed in the air
• Attenuation of the sound during propagation
• Wind and turbulence of the atmosphere
• Obstacles placed in the vicinity of siren and listener.
• Ambient noise levels
Typically these losses reduce the sound level by 10dBA for every doubling
of distance from the siren.
The following table details the typical sound level that can be expected at
various distances from the siren.
