Small Motorised Sirens is a Klaxon Signals product category comprised of Klaxon's industrial motor-driven alarms—this category is further split into multiple sub-ranges of sirens such as the Mono/Mini Mono and Type 63-80. These sirens have been staple products of Klaxon Signal's siren offerings for years and many of these models date back to the Secomak era.

Type 63-80

Type 63

The Type 63 is an alleged industrial small-sized directional siren produced by Klaxon Signals for an unknown period of time and was likely a prior product of Secomak. It is unknown what exactly the Type 63 looks like, although it most likely utilizes a 12-port rotor and stator. Aside from a baseless claim, there is no evidence supporting that Klaxon ever sold a Type 63. No Type 63 sirens are known to exist (if they did at all), and information regarding them is scarce; they were most likely eliminated from Klaxon's product line before the turn of the millennium.

Type 64

The Type 64 is an alleged industrial small-sized directional siren produced by Klaxon Signals for an unknown period of time and was likely a prior product of Secomak. It is unknown what exactly the Type 64 looks like, although it most likely utilizes a 12-port rotor and stator. The siren supposedly is equipped with a shutter mechanism—how exactly how it functioned is unknown, and the source of this claim stems from a YouTube video of audio claimed to be a recording of a "Klaxon 64" with an abrupt silence shortly after it is activated. The video features no visuals, making the existence of the coding mechanism or the siren itself dubious at best. No Type 64 sirens are known to exist (if they did at all), and information regarding them is scarce; they were most likely eliminated from Klaxon's product line before the turn of the millennium.

Type 66

The Type 66 is an alleged industrial small-sized directional siren produced by Klaxon Signals for an unknown period of time and was likely a prior product of Secomak. It is unknown what exactly the Type 66 looks like, although it most likely utilizes a 12-port rotor and stator. The only evidence of the Type 66 existence is a YouTube video of audio claimed to be a recording of a "Klaxon 66"; the video features no visuals, making the existence of the siren dubious at best. No Type 66 sirens are known to exist (if they did at all), and information regarding them is scarce; they were most likely eliminated from Klaxon's product line before the turn of the millennium.

Type 72

A Type 72 in private possession.

The Type 72 is an industrial small-sized directional siren produced by Klaxon Signals for an unknown period of time and was likely a prior product of Secomak. The siren utilizes either an 8 or 12-port (the latter seemingly being the standard) rotor and stator and a brushed universal 220 V AC/DC or 12 V AC/DC motor—most likely with other voltage options marketed—behind the stator enclosed in a cylindrical protective cover. The stator's rounded covering comprised of 4 horizontal beams serves as both an intake and a finger guard to prevent debris from entering the siren or injury from misuse; despite this, the stator ports lack any sort of finger guards entirely. The entire assembly rests on a small L bracket that allows the siren to be bolted to a flat surface. Very few Type 72 sirens are known to exist, almost every single one being in France, and information regarding them is scarce; they were most likely eliminated from Klaxon's product line before the turn of the millennium.

Type 77

A Type 77 in private possession.

The Type 77 is an industrial small-sized directional siren produced by Klaxon Signals for an unknown period of time and was likely a prior product of Secomak. The siren utilizes a 12-port rotor and stator and a brushed 12 V DC motor—most likely with other voltage options marketed—behind the stator enclosed in a cylindrical protective cover. The stator's horizontal beam covering is flat and serves as both an intake (although the openings between each beam are thin and heavily restrict airflow to the rotor) and a finger guard to prevent debris from entering the siren or injury from misuse; despite this, the stator ports lack any sort of finger guards entirely. The entire assembly rests on a small L bracket that allows the siren to be bolted to a flat surface. The siren has a small metal plate attached to the back of the rotor to make a longer wind-down time, which is pretty rare to see on other small sirens that were mass produced. Very few Type 77 sirens are known to exist, almost every single one being in France, and information regarding them is scarce; they were most likely eliminated from Klaxon's product line before the turn of the millennium.

Type 80

A Type 80 in private possession.

The Type 80 is an industrial small-sized directional siren produced by Klaxon Signals for an unknown period of time and was likely a prior product of Secomak. The siren utilizes a 12-port rotor and stator and a brushed DC or universal motor running on either 48 V AC, 110 V AC, and 220 AC or 12 V DC, 24 V DC, or 48 V DC behind the stator enclosed in a cylindrical protective cover. The stator utilizes either a flat covering with horizontal beams or a covering with beams forming a star shape. Both serve as an intake and a finger guard to prevent debris from entering the siren or injury from misuse (although the latter leaves several large gaps allowing for access to the rotor). The stator ports lack any sort of finger guards entirely. The entire assembly rests on a small L bracket that allows the siren to be bolted to a flat surface, Unlike the Type 72 and Type 77, this siren is almost entirely made out of plastic and are made very cheaply, so they are very easily damaged. Very few Type 80 sirens are known to exist, almost every single one being in France, and information regarding them is scarce; they were most likely eliminated from Klaxon's product line before the turn of the millennium.
