The '''TYFONIC ET 30/3''' (also known as just the '''TYFONIC''' '''ET 30''') is an omnidirectional electronic siren and the smaller variant of the TYFONIC ET 60. The siren is made up of 3 TYFON speakers made of impact resistant thermoplastic, which are recessed into a short triangular plastic-covered galvanized sheet steel housing. The housing contains the siren's wiring, as well as its speaker compression drivers. A small cylindrical mount is located below the housing, and allows the siren to be mounted to a pipe. The TYFONIC ET 30/3 uses 125 W speaker drivers, in total using 375 W of power. The siren's operating temperature range is -30-+60°C (22°F-+140°F).

TYFONIC ET 751

The TYFONIC ET 751 is a bi-directional electronic siren made up of 3, 4, or 6 TYFON speakers made of impact resistant thermoplastic attached to a tall rectangular plastic-covered galvanized sheet steel housing; for 3-speaker units, the speakers are all arranged on one side of the housing. For 4 and 6-speaker units, an equal amount of horns are arranged on both sides of the housing.
