General

The Omni-Alert Series, formerly called the Vortex-O Series, is a line of electronic sirens produced by Whelen Engineering. They are essentially WPS-2900 series siren heads with Type-1 control cabinets that lack voice capability, much like the Vortex series.

The product line was originally introduced in 2004 as the Vortex-O Series before being renamed to Omni-Alert Series in 2006.
