Kingvox is an Argentinian manufacturer of acoustic and visual signaling devices, including indoor and outdoor warning sirens. Kingvox has been around since 1956 and has produced several sirens over its 67-year run, that are especially popular with volunteer fire departments in Argentina and the surrounding countries. Kingvox has made several sirens and series of sirens, including:
1TV series
The 1TV series is by far the most popular series of sirens Kingvox produces. The series' sirens have a very simple design, consisting of a cast aluminum rotor and 12 port stator, powered by a motor of variable horsepower attached to a mounting bracket. The sirens in the 1TV series can be ordered with the BOC1TV, aluminum amplifier horns that cover the ports and propagate the sound produced by the siren. Kingvox also produces a controller for the 1TV30, 40, and 50 named the ARR1TV, which consists of a IP65 NEMA enclosure with 2 buttons on the top left, one to activate the siren, and one to shut it off, as was a green light to indicate weather the siren is active.
The series consists of 5 sirens, which names and hp are listed below.
| Name | H.P. |
|---|---|
| 1TV20 | 2 hp |
| 1TV30 | 3 hp |
| 1TV40 | 7.5 hp |
| 1TV50 | 15 hp |
| 1TV60 | 25 hp |
CE series
The CE series is intended for vehicular use and are suitable for industrial environments with their small size. There are 2 sirens in the CE series:
CE50
The CE50 is a vehicular siren intended for use on fire trucks, factories, or wherever else it would be deemed necessary. The CE50 has a 8 port rotor driven by a 1 or 2 hp motor. The rotor is covered by a flower like finger guard with the Kingvox logo in the center. The CE50's motor is covered by a large motor cover to protect it from the elements. The motor cover is attached to a small black mounting stand which allows the siren to be mounted on a fire truck or other surfaces.
CE200
The CE200 is a vehicular siren intended for use on fire trucks, factories, or wherever else it would be deemed necessary. The CE200 is a simple siren, consisting of a 12 port rotor and stator, covered by a red grid plate. The rotor is driven by a 2 hp motor attached to a mount which allows for it to be mounted to a fire truck or other surfaces. The siren measures 137 dB at 1 meter.
YV series
The YV series of sirens are intended for interior or exterior use and can be considered as a cheaper alternative to the 1TV series of sirens. The YV series is also popular with volunteer fire departments in Argentina and the surrounding countries. The sirens are similar to the 1TV series, consisting of a cast aluminum rotor and 12 port stator, powered by a 1 hp motor. The series consists of 5 sirens, which names and hp are listed below.
| Name | H.P. |
|---|---|
| YV100 | 1 hp |
| YV30 | 1/2/3 hp |
| YV50 | 1/2 hp |
Additionally, not part of the main lineup, there are 3 other sirens in the YV series, including the YV5, essentially the YV50 with a rain shield to protect it from the elements, the YV50EXP, essentially the YV50 with a smaller rotor and stator, a metal motor casing and an aluminum(?) shield at the top of the siren, and the YV5SS, a smaller version of the YV50 intended for industrial use.
