The '''WPS-4000 Series''' is a line of [[rotating]],[[electronic]] sirens produced by [[Whelen Engineering]]. The last digit of the model number indicates the number of 400-watt drivers installed. The 4004 and 4003 are identical in design, while the discontinued 4008 is taller and has twice the number of horns. Older siren heads have a larger, rectangular rotator housing that contains a belt-driven mechanism. New sirens are equipped with a gear-driven rotator in a smaller, square housing. Whelen offered a kit to retrofit the newer, direct-drive rotator onto older siren heads.<ref>http://www.whelen.com/install/136/13602.pdf</ref> Fins were also affixed to some of the early ("finback") units.
The '''WPS-4000 Series''' is a line of [[electronic]] sirens produced by [[Whelen Engineering]]. It consists of three models, the WPS4003, WPS4004 and WPS4008. The WPS4003 and WPS4004 are still in production, the WPS4008 is not.  The WPS4003 and WPS4004 look similar from the outside. The difference between the two models is that the WPS4003 has three speaker drivers while the WPS4004 has four, which the last number of the models stands for.
