The 10V1T is a vertical dual rotor omnidirectional siren produced by Sentry Siren, Inc. It was released in the early 2020s as the successor to the discontinued 10V2T. Intended to be a cheap dual rotor option for those on a budget, it is the smallest and cheapest of all of Sentry's dual rotor options.
History and design
The 10V1T was released in September 2022, a few months after the 10V2T was discontinued in June of the same year. However, the siren did not appear on Sentry's website (along with the SV-8) until February 2023. The siren is essentially two Sentry 3V8-Hs stacked into a single siren, which means that the siren uses the same rotor and stator as the 3V8, which is taken from the Sterling Model M.
The 10V1T is powered by a pair of 5 hp AC motors, which are single phase only. Like Sentry's other single phase sirens, the siren uses a centrifugal regenerative brake which slows the rotor down rapidly when the rotor reaches a low enough RPM in order to recharge the motor capacitors. The 10V1T is available exclusively in 8/8 port single tone, with no dual tone or 16-port options available. The siren comes stock with 16 short equal length horns, which use Sentry's newer pointed horn design to help keep debris out. Each horn is attached to one of the stator ports. The intakes and horns are protected by mesh screens as well. It is likely that the 10V1T is available with skirts and stainless steel construction through special order, just like Sentry's other offerings. The 10V1T is only available in AC power, despite using the same core as the 3V8 which has a DC option in the form of the 3V8-H-B. Sentry has stated that they do not intend to create a DC variant of this siren, but this may change in the future.
The Sentry 10V1T performs identically to its predecessor, outputting 120 dB at 100 ft in a 360 degree radius, at least according to Sentry's claims. This places it directly between Sentry's single rotor options such as the 7V8 and 10V and the larger dual rotor 15V2T or 16V1T-B in terms of performance and cost, making it a very cost effective siren. As of 2024, the 10V1T is only known to have been installed in a few places, due to being such a new siren. It is unknown how well this siren will sell, as the siren only first appeared on Sentry's website in February 2023. It remains to be seen how successful the 10V1T will be, and whether or not it can hold a candle to its predecessor.
