The '''Model 5/7''' was a siren produced by [[Federal Signal Corporation]]. The siren came in the three diferent port ratio's. 12, which is the most common. 8, which isn't found on many models, and 9/12, only found on Model 5T's. A Model 5 is a three phase siren, and a Model 5B is single phase. Model 7's are three phase sirens like the Model 5, but seem to have a faster windup. However, Model 5T's, are dual tone only.
The '''Model 5''' was a 5 horse power, mechanical, omni-directional siren produced by [[Federal Signal Corporation]]. It's essentially the smaller version of the [[Model 7]]. The rotor is 15 inches in diameter and shares the same stator as the 12 port side of the 2T22 siren. There are two variants of the Model 5: the Model 5 which is 12 port single tone, and Model 5T which is 9/12 port dual tone. The siren was housed in a very simple enclosure that resembles an air vent found on building roofs.

The Model 5 was a 5 horse power, mechanical, omni-directional siren produced by Federal Signal Corporation. It's essentially the smaller version of the Model 7. The rotor is 15 inches in diameter and shares the same stator as the 12 port side of the 2T22 siren. There are two variants of the Model 5: the Model 5 which is 12 port single tone, and Model 5T which is 9/12 port dual tone. The siren was housed in a very simple enclosure that resembles an air vent found on building roofs.
