KMsecur, formerly KM Europ pre-2006, is a manufacturer and supplier of a variety of signaling devices. One of the successors to the influential Northern Electrical Constructions (French: Constructions Électriques du Nord; abbreviated CEN), alongside FOX Motors (French: Moteurs FOX), KMsecur has also supplied outdoor warning sirens since its inception, and their sirens are widely used in France.
History
WIP
KMsecur was founded in 1986 as KM Europ, after CEN went bust. As far as sirens went, KM Europ essentially picked up where CEN left off, reintroducing CEN's models and designing a few new models.
In 2006, KM Europ was bought by Finescur, and subsequently renamed KMsecur.
In 2018, KMsecur was partially acquired by Moflash, with Moflash's share being renamed KM Europ and both portions of the company continuing to operate under their respective owners.
Products
KM0
The KM0, also named the KM00 in the KM siren manual, is the smallest option in KMsecur's medium-range siren lineup, consisting of a 12-port rotor and stator and 2 trapezoidal mounting legs beneath them. The siren is driven by a small 50/60 Hz 0.25 kW (0.3 hp) 1 (220 V) or 3 (220/380 V) ph motor located above the rotor. More recently manufactured units come with a mesh screen that wraps around the stator to prevent debris from entering the siren. Another variant of the KM0S makes use of a long-range KM assembly without the horns, leaving only the horn connecting pieces attached to the stator; these variants are presumably produced alongside the standard sirens. The KM0S weighs around 25 kg (55.1 lbs). KMsecur rates the siren's output at 70 dB at 10 m (32.8 ft) and is audible from up to around 500 m (0.3 mi).
KM0S
The KM0S, also named the KM0 in the KM siren manual, is the mid-sized option in KMsecur's medium-range siren lineup, consisting of a 12-port rotor and stator and 2 trapezoidal mounting legs beneath them. The siren is driven by a small 50/60 Hz 0.55 kW (0.7 hp) 1 (220 V) or 3 (220/380 V) ph motor located above the rotor. More recently manufactured units come with a mesh screen that wraps around the stator to prevent debris from entering the siren. Another variant of the KM0S makes use of a long-range KM assembly without the horns, leaving only the horn connecting pieces attached to the stator; these variants are presumably produced alongside the standard sirens. The KM0S weighs around 25 kg (55.1 lbs). KMsecur rates the siren's output at 85 dB at 10 m (32.8 ft) and is audible from up to around 800 m (0.5 mi).
KM1S
The KM1S, also named the KM1 in the KM siren manual, is the largest option in KMsecur's medium-range siren lineup, consisting of a 12-port rotor and stator and 2 trapezoidal mounting legs beneath them. The siren is driven by a small 50/60 Hz 1.1 kW (1.4 hp) 1 (220 V) or 3 (220/380 V) ph motor located above the rotor. A few examples have larger motors sourced from the long-range KMs; whether this is a factory option or a custom job is unclear. More recently manufactured units come with a mesh screen that wraps around the stator to prevent debris from entering the siren. Another variant of the KM0S makes use of a long-range KM assembly without the horns, leaving only the horn connecting pieces attached to the stator; these variants are presumably produced alongside the standard sirens. The KM0S weighs around 35 kg (77.1 lbs). KMsecur rates the siren's output at 95 dB at 10 m (32.8 ft) and is audible from up to around 1 km (0.6 mi).
