Now we are getting into the more common ones, now I introduce the 2001-SRN made from 1998-2003 now this one is a bit different, it has a small federal signal logo and has a larger intake cone and the same rotator as the T-Bolt, now we have the 2001-SRNB made through 2003-2006, this one didn't have the same T-Bolt rotator it used a beltlless gear driven motor, and besides have a smaller head it is nearly identical to the SRN. Now to a siren still produced today the 2001-130 produced through 2006-???, this 2001 was the first one of producing 130 DBs at 100 feet, only difference is the motor is alot larger causing the back to be higher and more rectangular. in 2014 the 2001-Equinox was made, this siren is identical to the 2001-130 but it uses 8-port chopper instead of a 12-port chopper making the pitch a little lower, similar to the pitch of the Federal Signal 508 or ASC T-128. And that's the end of the history of the 2001 series siren.

Introduction

The 2001 series is a warning siren intended as a successor to the Thunderbolt series. The 2001 is a common sight in the United States.

The 2001 was first introduced as the 2001-DC Roundback, produced from 1988-1990. It used the same rotator assembly as the Thunderbolt. It earned the "Roundback" nickname due to its distinctive chopper housing, which is rounded at the top.

Next comes the 2001-DC made from 1990-1995. These models used the same rotators as the Thunderbolt, but with a different motor. The main difference is that the chopper housing is square-shaped.

The 2001-SRN, produced from 1998-2003, is one of the more common models in service today. It has a small Federal Signal on the center cone and a larger horn. The rotator assembly is shared with the Thunderbolt, this being the last model to use that rotator.

Next comes the 2001-SRNB, made through 2003-2006. This was the first of the 2001 series to use a rotator not shared with the Thunderbolt. It used a gear-driven system, unlike the older belt-driven units. Otherwise, it is largely identical to the 2001-SRN.

Today, the 2001-130 is the only model of 2001 available new today. Production began in 2006. The 2001-130 was the first model capable of producing 130 dB at 100 feet. It achieved this in part due to a larger motor. To fit the new motor, the motor housing was made taller.

In 2014 the 2001 Equinox was introduced. This model is identical to the 2001-130, but it uses an 8-port chopper instead of a 12-port chopper. Due to the new chopper, its pitch is lower, with a sound akin to that of a Federal Signal 508 or an ASC T-128.
