I like this Siren...it has that Classical look to it....Great that they still make these...i just wish more places around me would install them..the closest Sentry is about 34 Miles to my South. :-(
This siren isn't 10/15, it has the double-8 setup. The only siren that's able to have the 10/10, 10/15, and 15/15 port ratio is the 40V2(1)T. All other dual toned Sentry sirens are 8/16 port, and can be configured in double 8-port rotors (like this one), double 16s, or the standard 8/16. The smaller ones (3V8, 7V8, 10V) can be either 8 port or 16 port.
Yes, this is a 20V1T. Its rotors are synced with each other, whereas the 16V1T-B's (having 2 independent DC motors) rotors are slightly out of sync with each other.
According to Sentry's website, the single tone version is called a 20V1T. The 16V1T-B is a single-tone unit with dual DC motors that never run at exactly the same speed, creating a slight dissonance between the rotors.
Now I see what you are talking about. I have been on the Sentry website many times and just now noticed it does say 20V1T. I have to agree with you. It indeed does sound like a 20V1T.
Sentry can really make either. I've seen them make 16 port 5Vs and 20V2Ts with all skirts and no horns. I would imagine that it would still be labeled as a 20V2T, but considering how Sentry comes up with their model numbers, it would really make sense for this one to be labeled a 20V1T.

I saw and heard that siren or something like it in Sterling, CO. The first time was the friday noon test. Second time was a tornado warning.

They do. Sentry will make any siren setup you want, via special order.
They can come in 10/10, 10/15 (this siren), and 15/15.
All others can come in 8/8, 8/16, and 16/16.

Oops.. I commented thinking this was the 40V2T video..whoops!

I've also heard that they can even install dampers for HI-LO just like the 3T22. I've never heard of one installed with dampers.

Wow, that is one powerful siren, and is very well made.

Awesome video! Our city has one of these sirens, and ours sounds just like this one.
Are you sure this is a 20V1T? Because if you seen a large box on the siren pole, it is a 16V1T-B, just like ours.
Excellent video! I always loved the sound of Sentry sirens, those beasts have great warning power.

Sounds more like a 20V1T.

I couldn't agree more but it is a 20V2T. And the correct term would be 16V1T-B

The reason it is labeled at 20V1T is because is a single tone version of the 20V2T. 1T = one tone and 2T = two toned.

ahh I see, I always thought the T meant tier... as in rows of horns. Using my logic this would be a 2T... but my logic is flawed, haha
