See article: Q-Siren

As a licensed dealer for Federal Signal's products, Engesig resells Federal's Q-Siren. Engesig specifically sells the Q2B model, which comes with a shiny chrome housing, a bullet-shaped rear housing, and is equipped with a brake to rapidly bring the rotor to a halt. Engesig does not appear to resell any other model of Q-Siren. The Q-Siren uses a 15-port rotor and stator with curved vanes, driven by a 12VDC electric motor. See the linked article for more information.

A Type EG-105 unit.
Type EG-105

The Type EG-105 is a vehicular DC siren and one of the largest in the Automotive Line. The siren has an 8-port rotor and stator, and is driven by a 12 or 24 V DC motor, which is protected by a cylindrical motor cover. The siren is mounted on a short, wide stand, with 4 holes on each corner of its base, allowing the siren to be mounted on a flat surface. Finger guards are present on each port to prevent user injury, as the siren is small enough to cause injury if mishandled. The Type EG-105 is entirely composed of aluminum. It is available in either black or white, with white seeming to be the most common choice. The siren is 180 mm long, 117 mm wide, 140 mm tall, and weighs 2.1 kg. The siren reaches 110 dB at 10 m (33 ft).

A Type EG-100A unit.
Type EG-100A

The Type EG-100A is the smallest mechanical siren in the Acoustic Signaling subline of the Industrial Line. The siren uses a tiny 6-port rotor and stator, and is driven by a motor running at 120 or 240 V AC, which is protected by a conical motor cover. The siren's intake is flush with the stator. Finger guards are present on each port to prevent user injury, as the siren is small enough to cause injury if mishandled. The siren sits upon 2 small triangular bases, which allow the siren to be mounted on a flat surface. The siren is only available in gray. It is 170 mm long, 88 mm wide, 95 mm tall, and weighs 1 kg. The Type EG-100A reaches 98 dB at 10 m.

A Type EG-100B unit.
Type EG-100B

The Type EG-100B is a rebrand of Federal Signal's 240 V AC Model L, with slight modifications. Like the Model L, the siren uses an 8-port rotor and stator and runs on a 1/2 hp AC/DC universal motor, operating only on 240 V, with no 120 V model available. Due to the siren's small size, finger guards are included on the stator ports. The siren uses a large flanged skirt to project the sound from the ports, and has a cylindrical intake. By default, the Type EG-100B comes with a metal stand which attaches to the rounded motor cover through two swivel mounts. This stand allows the siren to be aimed vertically wherever it is required.

These mounts are secured by nuts to keep them in place. The stand includes holes for mounting on a wall, floor or ceiling. The siren is only available in red. It is 310 mm long, 226 mm wide, 300 mm tall, and weighs 5.4 kg. Engesig's rebrand sports a few modifications, including a metal grille inside the intake to prevent user injury, and a red-painted stator, as opposed to the standard Model L's unpainted one. The Type EG-100B also uses a different type of bolt to connect the stand to the siren itself. These modifications are not unique to the Type EG-100B, with several other Model L rebrands having these exact changes. It is likely that the Type EG-100B is actually a rebrand of another rebranded Model L from a different company. The siren reaches 106 dB at 10 m.

A Type EG-101 unit.
Type EG-101

The Type EG-101 is a small directional industrial siren. The Type EG-101 uses an 8-port rotor and stator, and is driven by a motor running at 120 or 240 V AC, which is protected by a conical motor cover. Finger guards are present on each port to prevent user injury, as the siren is small enough to cause injury if mishandled. The siren sits upon 2 small rectangular bases, which allow the siren to be mounted on a flat surface. The Type EG-101 is entirely composed of aluminum. The siren is only available in gray. It is 120 mm long, 164 mm wide, is 120 mm tall, and weighs 1.8 kg. The siren reaches 123 dB at 1 m.

wip, will redo the rest of the ones below later

A Type EG-102 unit.

Type EG-102

The Type EG-102 is the smallest vertical siren offered by Engesig, and appears to be a vertical version of the Type EG-101. The Type EG-102 uses a single 7-port rotor and stator, placed above a small low horsepower, high speed universal motor running at 120/240VAC. A large round stand is placed below the motor, with holes allowing for the siren to be mounted onto a flat surface. The Type EG-102 performs at 126 dB at 1 metre, according to Engesig. Finger guards are included on the stator ports to prevent user injury. The siren comes stock without any paint, as is typical for many of Engesig's sirens. This siren was likely originally created by another company, like all of Engesig's siren offerings. The siren is made entirely of aluminum.

A Type EG-103 unit.

Type EG-103

The Type EG-103 is a slight step up from the Type EG-102, being completely identical to the Type EG-102 except for the rotor and stator, which are slightly taller in size. The siren makes use of a 8-port rotor and stator, driven by a low horsepower, high speed univeral motor. The taller rotor and stator allow the siren to intake and output more air and thus sound, making it louder than the Type EG-102. To accommodate the taller stator ports, an additional ring is added to the finger guards. Interestingly, Engesig gives this siren a lower decibel rating than the Type EG-102, performing at 123 dB at 1 metre. The siren comes stock without any paint, as is typical for many of Engesig's sirens. This siren was likely originally created by another company, like all of Engesig's siren offerings. The siren is made entirely of aluminum.

A Type EG-108A unit.

Type EG-108

The Type EG-108 is a line of tiny electronic sirens which are meant for indoor or short-range industrial use, similar to a Federal Signal SelecTone. The Type EG-108 is a very basic siren, which uses an exponential speaker mounted above a housing, which contains the electronics and a single 50W speaker driver for the siren. The Type EG-108 is available in three different models, the Type EG-108A, Type EG-108V2, and Type EG-108 MAX. The Type EG-108A is the most basic model, being little more than a speaker placed above a rounded housing. The siren is directional in nature, outputting in a single direction, and runs on a single 50W speaker driver. The Type EG-108A runs on 120/240VAC and is rated by Engesig at 111 dB at 1 metre.

The Type EG-108V2 is an Type EG-108A with two speaker heads mounted on a common housing, with two 50W speaker drivers instead of one. The Type EG-108V2 is still directional, with both speakers facing the same direction, and is likely meant to be used in louder environments than the Type EG-108A. The Type EG-108V2 also runs on 120/240VAC, and outputs 120 dB at 1 metre according to Engesig.

The Type EG-108 MAX is a variant of the Type EG-108A, which is able to run on either AC or DC power, allowing it to run on batteries. This makes it more suitable for use in areas without reliable AC power. The Type EG-108 MAX uses a square housing for its single 100W speaker driver, instead of the rounded housing of the other Type EG-108 models. Its decibel rating is unknown, as Engesig does not provide one.

Stationary Sirens

A Type EG-109T unit.

Type EG-109T

The Type EG-109T is a series of medium-sized vertical siren, heavily reminiscent of the Kingvox 1TV series. The Type EG-109T consists of a thin, Like the EG-109TT, It uses the 8-port rotor and stator driven by a 3 HP motor and can run on either 220, 380, or 440VAC, as Engesig provides no information pertaining to the siren. The top and side of the stator are covered by a yellow screen to prevent injury. The siren is held up by a small iron stand which allows the siren to be mounted. The stand is optional, and some units have a circular base at the bottom of the motor in place of it. The intake and stator ports are protected by mesh screens, which are painted yellow by default. The siren comes stock without much paint, as is typical for many on Engesig's sirens.

A Type EG-109TT unit.

Type EG-109TT

The Type EG-109TT is Type EG-109T with the inclusion of horns to increase the siren's sound output. It uses the 8-port rotor and stator driven by 3 HP motor and can run on either 220, 380, or 440VAC. The mount at the bottom of the siren is also slightly different. Unlike most of Engesig's siren offerings, the Type EG-109TT comes stock with red and yellow paint. Mesh screens protect the siren's intake and horns. The Type EG-109TT also has a explosion proof variant, which is made out of what looks to be iron,The siren is held up by a small iron stand which allows the siren to be mounted. The stand is optional, and some units have a circular base at the bottom of the motor in place of it, These sirens were originally created by Brubeki, another Brazillian siren manufacturer.

A Type EG-109 TITAN unit.

Type EG-109 TITAN

The Type EG-109 TITAN is Engesig's STH-10 rebrand, sporting slight modifications, specifically the siren's motor and mount. Like the STH-10, the siren is very simple in design, being little more than the chopper, stator, motor, intake and horns. The siren uses a motor-over-rotor design. There are 12 horns on the siren, attached to each stator port. The siren has a cylindrical, tubular intake located below the siren, in between the siren's four (instead of three like the STH-10) included mounting lType EGs. The Type EG-109's motor, unlike the STH-10's, is 15 HP instead of 10. The siren can run on either 220, 380, or 440VAC. The mount differs from the STH-10 in that the small triangular piece between each of the four lType EGs is now octagonal. Interestingly, the siren's motor has a horizontal mounting platform on it. The siren is rated at 115 dB @ 30m.

A Type EG-109 TITAN 2 unit.

Type EG-109 TITAN 2

The Type EG-109 TITAN 2 appears to be Engesig's attempt at making a 2T22-like siren. The TITAN 2 is little more than 2 TITAN cores attached to a large 20HP motor. It is a dual rotor siren, consisting of 2 TITAN cores + horns on each side of a dual sided motor. Like the XT22, each rotor has a large intake tube with mesh screens to prevent debris from getting inside, with the top rotor having a rain shield to keep moisture and debris from getting into the top rotor. Each port on the stator has a rounded horn of its own, similar to the STH-10 and STL-10. This is largely where the similarities between the TITAN 2 and the XT22 end. The TITAN 2, unlike the XT22, is 12/12 port single tone, and lacks the Federal mounting lType EGs. Interestingly, the siren's motor has a horizontal mounting platform on it. The siren can run on either 220, 380, or 440VAC, and is rated 127 dB @ 30m.

An Engesig OMNI, located in Mogi das Cruzes, São Paulo.

Engesig OMNI

The Engesig OMNI is Engesig's rebranded Modulator. As the image on the website says "Future release", it is likely not released as of yet, which is interesting due to the fact the Engesig OMNI uses the Modulator I design, instead of the current Modulator II design. The Engesig OMNI is very similar to a Modulator, making use of a stacked cell design, supporting up to 5 dodecagonal cells per siren, unlike the Modulator's 7 elliptical cells. Each cell contains 4 100 W speaker compression drivers, and up to 4 active cells can be added to the siren. The siren has a "dummy" cell at the very bottom, which contains no drivers and is only there to spread the sound from the bottom active cell evenly, acting as a horn.

Each cell is attached to a conical support, which along with the shape of the cell helps spread the sound in a perfect 360-degree radius. The sound is projected out of the bottom of each active cell. Each driver is attached to the cell from the outside, attached to small panels held on by 4 screws. This allows for easy replacement of blown or defective drivers by hot swapping them with new drivers. The only difference between the Engesig OMNI and a standard Modulator, aside from the color and shape of the cells, is the mount, which is slightly different compared to Federal Signal's standard mount. Aside from this, they are slightly identical. A few units are known to exist as demonstrators, such as the unit in Mogi das Cruzes, São Paulo which is operated by Engesig themselves.
