The '''Banshee 110''' is an older form of Banshee. The very first ACA Banshee sirens produced were 10/12 port, because they shared the same rotor and stator with the first Allertor sirens which were also 10/12 port. Only one of these sirens has been found in Mason City, Iowa but it was removed in 2006. Another one still runs, albiet underpowered, in Inman, South Carolina on the Spartanburg County Warning System.  The later ACA banshees were available in 9/12 port dual tone and 8 port single tone. One single tone unit exists in Lomira, Wisconsin. The Banshee 110 was also available with an optional coding [[damper]].

Unlike the Banshee 115, the OM-117 only came in an 8 Port ratio single tone siren.
