Safety Alarms - Compact Models

3000 Series Alarms

The NEW 3000 Series Alarm from Preco brings reliability and accuracy to a compact form for the first time.  The 3000 Series alarm exceeds industry standards and provides you with an accurate back-up alarm that produces an audible warning that is +/- 2dB, far superior to the +/- 4 dB of competitors and SAE requirements.  Reliability is increased through the Preco sound chamber design which reduces speaker movement, and protects the speaker from environmental damage.  And all of this is provided in a small package for easy application across many different vehicle platforms, so you can have ONE alarm for your entire fleet.   Lifetime warranty.

Switchable    

The 3000 Series alarms are switchable to operate at 97 & 107 decibels via a jumper or wiring connections.
