A Legacy of Innovation
Kockum Sonics marine ship whistles build on over 100 years of innovation, originating from the invention of the air-driven ship’s whistle at the Kockum shipyard in 1918. With more than one million TYFON® installations, Kockum Sonics delivers reliable performance.
MTX 150/130 electrically driven piston whistle, suitable for vessels with a LOA >200m.
General Information
The ELECTRO–TYFON® MTX 150/130 ship whistle is electrically driven piston designed for large commercial vessels with LOA above 200 meters. It delivers powerful, regulation-compliant sound signaling while maintaining low noise levels at onboard listening positions. It features minimal moving parts, a “swinging piston,” a cylinder that requires no lubrication, and an oil-free gearbox.
Key Features
- Unsymmetrical Sound Distribution: The design ensures the sound is distributed unevenly for efficient signaling.
- Adaptability: It operates effectively in all temperatures without additional measures.
- Stability: The whistle remains unaffected by voltage and frequency fluctuations.
- Maintenance-Free: The whistle is oil-free, non-corrosive, and requires no maintenance.
- Easy Installation: Simplified installation process.
- Compliance: Fully complies with International Regulations IMO 1972.
Consistent Performance in All Climate Conditions
The MTX 150/130 ship whistle performs reliably in arctic, tropical, and high-humidity environments without additional heating or cooling systems. Thanks to its patented rectangular horn and adaptive motor control, the whistle automatically adjusts motor speed to the horn’s acoustic resonance. Therefore, it maintains consistent sound output regardless of ambient temperature, voltage, or frequency fluctuations—an advantage over many alternative electric and pneumatic ship whistles.
IMO-Compliant Sound Distribution and Easy Installation
To meet IMO 1972 sound signaling regulations, the MTX 150/130 features unsymmetrical sound distribution. This design delivers the required Sound Pressure Level for navigation while keeping noise at listening posts below 110 dBA. Furthermore, the electrically driven configuration allows fast and straightforward installation, even where compressed air systems are impractical. Compared to competing marine whistles, this results in quieter onboard environments and easier retrofitting.

General Information
The Signal Controller Ti98 is a robust, user-friendly, and cost-effective solution for both whistle and Morse light operations. Designed for easy installation on various vessel types, it combines reliability with efficiency. Its key features include a membrane key panel and an LCD matrix display that presents all vital information at a glance. The panel illumination, which uses red light, is adjustable through dimmer buttons for optimal visibility. Additional key features are:
- “Whistle activated” output
- General Emergency Alarm (GEA) input
- External push-button input for activating selected outputs
- Separate power supplies for whistle and Morse light/lantern
- Options for automatic or manual control of signal characters
- Customizable signal characters for automatic mode
Automatic and Manual Signaling
The Ti98 controller supports automatic signaling with five pre-set signal characters, and users can enable up to five more through the software. These signal characters can be applied to the whistle, Morse light, or both, allowing flexible operation. The signal period time can be set to 60, 90, or 120 seconds. If the automatics are active, pressing the manual button on the panel or an external button will immediately deactivate them. You can adjust the characters and period time with the automatics either on or off, with an LED indicator showing the current status.
In manual mode, the push button on the panel activates the selected outputs displayed on the screen. This action deactivates the automatic mode instantly.
Additional Functions
The “Whistle active” function not only triggers a potential-free relay output when the whistle operates but also facilitates seamless integration with systems like Kockum Sonics’ S90 Sound Signal Surveillance System. This feature proves particularly useful, as it can mute the ship’s whistle when necessary. Furthermore, the GEA function, which is controlled by an external relay, immediately halts the automatics and activates all connected signals, while displaying “EXTERNAL ALARM.” Once the final signal is activated, a 5-second timeout occurs before the unit smoothly transitions back to normal operations.

- Fore TYFON Indicator: If two whistles are connected with more than 100 meters between them, simultaneous sounding is prohibited. Therefore, the indicator can be enabled or disabled to ensure regulatory compliance.
- Bell & Gong Function: By default, the system supports an electro-mechanical bell and gong. However, if this feature is unnecessary, users can disable it, and the LED will flash to indicate inactivity.
- GEA and Abandon Ship Activation: Users can select from three activation modes for the GEA or Abandon Ship signals, depending on whether continuous or pulsed activation is needed.
- Morse Light Response Time: Users can also adjust the response time for external Morse light activation, enhancing signal timing precision.
To fully meet Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, proper electrical installation is crucial. It is important to secure cables to prevent strain on terminal blocks, which support cable diameters up to 2.5mm².
