Overview

The Federal Signal SST3GCX-MV is a remotely selectable electronic siren engineered for critical audible alerting in hazardous environments. Certified to UL and cUL Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D; Class II, Division 2, Groups F, G; and Class III, this siren ensures safe operation where explosive atmospheres may be present. Its rugged, die-cast aluminum housing with a corrosion-resistant powder-coat finish and Type 4X, IP66/IP69K enclosure provides robust protection against dust and moisture, ensuring long-term performance in demanding industrial conditions. The SST3GCX-MV offers unparalleled flexibility with its multi-voltage design, accepting 24VDC, 120VAC, or 240VAC inputs, simplifying installation into various power infrastructures. Operators can remotely activate one of three distinct high-decibel tones—wail, yelp, or horn—using dry contacts, enabling precise communication for emergency warning, start/dismissal, general alarm, or evacuation protocols. Delivering up to 110.5 dBa at 10' (120.5 dBa at 1M) with the yelp tone, this siren ensures clear audibility over noisy industrial settings. Key features include its multi-tone capability for distinct warning levels, remote tone selection for precise control, and a durable spun aluminum speaker cone and projector. With an operating temperature range of -55°C to 66°C, the SST3GCX-MV is ideal for applications in oil and gas, chemical processing, manufacturing, and any facility requiring reliable, compliant audible signaling in potentially hazardous areas.

What testing do IP69K products undergo?

Products are dust-tight tested and undergo high-pressure steam jet cleaning with water sprays of 1160–1450 psi from 4–6 inches at 176°F (80°C).

What certifications do Federal Signal products hold?

Federal Signal products meet or exceed UL, CSA, CSFM, IECEx, and other global certifications, and the company is ISO 9001 Certified.

What is the benefit of using IP69K products?

IP69K products reduce failures from water/dust ingress, increasing productivity and decreasing production downtime.

Is the 191XL-S120240R suitable for hazardous locations?

Yes, the 191XL model is classified as a Hazardous Location LED Light.

How to Install the SST3GCX-MV Siren

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring the SST3GCX-MV remotely selectable siren.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Terminal connectors, Jumper wire

  1. Select and prepare the mounting location

    Choose a flat surface for mounting the siren. Ensure the area is clear of obstructions and that both sides of the mounting surface are free from items that could be damaged.

  2. Mount the siren

    Position the rear of the siren against the mounting surface. Use the mounting holes as a template to mark drill positions, then secure the siren with appropriate No. 10 hardware.

  3. Connect the wiring

    Remove the cover by unscrewing the two Phillips head screws. Route the power wires through the 1/2" threaded openings into the siren. Connect the AC or DC power leads to the appropriate terminals, ensuring no wires are connected while power is applied.

  4. Configure tone activation wiring

    Connect a switch or contact to the tone selector connector plug for remote tone activation. Ensure the total loop resistance does not exceed 1000 ohms.

  5. Complete the assembly

    Reinstall the cover, ensuring the gasket is seated properly. Tighten the cover screws to 25-30 in-lb. Turn on the power to the unit.

  6. Test the siren

    After installation, test the siren to ensure it operates correctly. Wear hearing protection during testing due to loud sounds.
