How does this differ from the larger flashing siren also available?

Hello Glen, This is a lot smaller, and not quite as loud. But still a great attention grabber. Thanks! www.FortressSecurityStore.com

I am not sure why there is a need for a siren on a personal vehicle. If the personal vehicle is going to be used in the line of a fire / rescue vehicle, as many personal vehicles are, then I would say yes. This certainly is loud enough. I do caution you that if there is any other surge on the battery, this may effect the control of the 346. I is very loud and should serve your needs adequately.

The siren is activated by the Security System (Alarm Panel) by supplying 12 Volts DC to the siren. The activation and timing of the siren is controlled by the settings in your alarm system.

When the light is activated without the alarm, the light does not provide light like a flashlight. It does provide a sufficient amount to do small tasks such as finding your house key in the dark. When the alarm is activated, the strobe is a similar amount of light as above but not a beacon! On a pitch black night, it is very visible. I live on a small island and I faithfully wear the alarm as I bike at night. I believe that it is a valuable tool that may prevent me from becoming a victim of criminal activity. The sound this small unit provides is loud enough and attracts a lot of attention. It is difficult to put all of your confidence in such a small device for protection but I can tell you that I feel a lot more secure carrying this alarm than not. The battery (9 volt) lasts a long time and I check it frequently to make sure it will work when I need it. I personally would prefer that it did not have a strobe light because the device itself becomes easier to see when it is activated. This may allow someone to throw it or put the cord back in to stop the alarm. I think their first thought, however it to get the heck out of there!! I have never been sorry that I bought the alarm and in fact, buy them as gifts for many of my friends.

The horn connects to a Security System as a second siren. It is not a stand lone piece. It goes off when the alarm is triggered. We have our set up with Motion detectors but the fortress systems have other options as well.

Strobe-speed is not adjustable. The unit shows up on your system as a dimmer-switch, and 0-50% only sets off the strobe, and 50-100% adds the siren as well.

I believe there is just a light on the trunk. There is no siren, just a horn type device in the bottom of the body. I had to pull out the instrument panel to resolder wires inside the body. The 2 buttons on the chrome instrument panel just activate the horn.

Sounds like you would pull over if you heard it behind you. The sound pulsates fairly rapidly like most other sirens. (Your question makes me think you would probably better off going to store where you can hear for yourself rather than buying online)

I don't think so , the control pad controls the siren, now if you want to use a louder siren , you can hook into the alarm system , we ordered a larger siren thru fortress website , and it alerts between a 4 block radius . Good luck hope this helps.

I used a standard 12v plug in DC converter to an outlet which is controlled by my sensor system. If the security light has an internal sensor it may be hard to use it power the siren.

I haven't verified the specs but I was just looking for a bright flashlight, solid and compact. It was all of the above and cheap. I would prefer rechargeable but this is one of the brightest small flash light I have ever seen. I have a couple high quality LED flashlights for night dog walking and short commute/biking, which I thought were fine, this one is brighter.

Siren blow 180 seconds, you are able to program it short, yes, it will blow again if another sensor detects activity.

I've no idea. It's just a dumb siren, no software involved. needs power supply, apparently has built in amp and noise generator.

Nope, backup siren is incase they cut the wires to your primary siren, backup battery is in case they cut the battery power to disable the alarm. If the siren is hard to reach, you will be fine. What many do is pop the hood and cut the power to the battery. I myself just have the backup battery

From my experience with it, no. Also it will increase the range for the sensors but not the siren.

The Mace 80355 has a ground and trigger output under the battery cover, ( the two left most connectors ) leave the jumper in place and wire to any 12 volt siren... If you need more volume you can get a 12 volt trigger relay and provide a 12 volt or higher power source ( I've used up to 17 volts for long runs to multiple sirens up to 400 feet away from unit )

Yes. My primary siren is for the outside of the house. The alarm 5, 115 db is for the inside of My house. There should adequate electrical capacity in your system to add the additional siren. It should be compatible with your system.
