Product catalog summary
Introduction
The ZÖLLNER ZET-Horn is a pioneering piston type whistle driven by an AC 3-phase motor, designed for maritime and industrial applications. It features a piston inside a cylinder that oscillates to produce sound, ensuring wide-range audibility.

Specifications
  • Compliance: Fully compliant with COLREGS 1972, Annex III.
  • Approval: Type approved by international authorities and classification societies.
  • System Voltage: AC 3-phase with control box AC 1-phase.
  • Materials: Constructed from non-corrosive, seawater-resistant materials with wear-resistant steel gearwheels.

Applications
  • Vessels of class II (75 m to less than 200 m in length).
  • Land alarm systems such as bunker stations, oil refineries, airports, power plants, and factories.

Options
  • Rubber metals for vibration reduction.
  • Special designs for arctic and military applications.

Advantages
  • Decades of experience and German craftsmanship.
  • Simple design allowing easy part exchange with onboard tools.
  • Vertical cylinder suspension for optimal discharge of water and snow.
  • Standard motor heating to prevent condensation without additional cables.

Sound Characteristics
  • Broad frequency spectrum with strong overtones for noise penetration.
  • Sound frequency of 130 Hz / 140 Hz, advantageous in the lower admissible range.
  • Sound pressure level of 138 dB at 1 m distance.

Installation
  • Requires only one three-core cable for connection.
  • Lightweight and unaffected by voltage and frequency fluctuations.
  • Positioning should be as high as practicable to minimize sound obstruction and hearing damage risk.

Technical Information
  • Type 141AC and 131AC suitable for ships 75-200 m in length.
  • Fundamental frequencies: 140 Hz and 130 Hz respectively.
  • Motor output: 5.5 kW with 100 W motor heating.
  • Protection type: IP 56.
  • Weight: Approximately 62 kg for both models.

ZET-Horn 131/141 AC-1

ZET-Horn 131/141 AC The ZÖLLNER ZET-Horn was the first piston type whistle on the world market driven by an AC 3phase motor. An essential component is the piston inside the cylinder driven by an AC 3phase motor via connecting rod, crankshaft and gearwheels. The piston oscillates at a certain frequency which makes the air inside the sound projector vibrate in resonance to produce a sound audible over a wide range. Essential information: » full compliance with the COLREGS 1972, Annex III » type approved by all wellknown international authorities and classification societies » system voltage: AC 3phase/control box AC 1phase » entirely made of best non-corrosion, seawater resistant materials: gearwheels made of wear-resistant upgraded steel Application: » vessels of class II (75 m but less than 200 m in length) » land alarm, i.e. bunker stations, oil refineries, airports, power plants, factories Options: » rubber metals for vibration reduction » special design for arctic class available » special military design available Advantages: » decades of experience » best material and workmanship - made in Germany » simple but matured design: easy exchange of all parts with onboard tools, steady lubrication with standard grease (no oil!) » cylinder suspended vertically to allow optimum dischar- ge of spray, flood, condensation water or melted snow » motor heating to avoid condensed water included as a standard - no additional cable required! Sound Characteristics » broad frequency spectrum with many higher harmonics » signals with strong overtones for best penetration of background noise level: Even when a background noise covers the actual basic frequency the residual tone forms a parent frequency in the human hearing. Two or three harmonics are sufficient for the hearing to perceive the basic frequency. » sound frequency of 130 Hz / 140 Hz very advantageously ranks in the lower admissable range (130-350 Hz) » sound pressure level 138 dB in 1/3rd octave band at 1 m distance Easy installation: » only one three-core cable required for connection to board mains » relatively low weight » not affected by voltage and frequency fluctuations
