The '''CS Electronic Siren''' is a lineup of electronic sirens produced by Comtel. The sirens are comprised of a varying number of thin rectangular horns with a triangular side-profile made of cast aluminum. 100 W drivers for each horn power the siren, with cube-shaped enclosures shielding each driver from the elements.

The CS runs on 48 V DC, powered by 4 rechargeable lead acid batteries, and utilizes 1 to 6 400 W Class D amplifiers depending on the number of speakers used.

The CS Electronic Siren is a lineup of electronic sirens produced by Comtel. The sirens are comprised of a varying number of thin rectangular horns with a triangular side-profile made of cast aluminum. 100 W drivers for each horn power the siren, with cube-shaped enclosures shielding each driver from the elements.

The minimum number of speakers the CS supports are 2 (200 W), and the maximum is 18 (1800 W); units with only 1 speaker are available on request. The speakers attach to a thin steel pipe which the speakers attach to via a side mount and can be configured either directionally or omnidirectionally.

The CS runs on 48 V DC, powered by 4 rechargeable lead acid batteries, and utilizes 1 to 6 400 W Class D amplifiers depending on the number of speakers used. 16 warning signals and up to 239 voice announcement .wav files come standard with the CS series, with a live audio/PA function available as well. The sirens can be programmed to run regularly scheduled silent tests to identify faults in any of the siren's components. A rectangular weatherproof cabinet made of power-coated steel (or stainless steel by request) houses the siren's electronics and batteries, with the largest options, the CS 6-18-124 and CSD 6-18-127, instead utilizing 2 cabinets housing the electronics nd batteries seperately.
