Ya that is really sad. At first, I thought people were just posting videos of the ones that DID fail, but it just seems like every test, the ones they set up to film just don't sound

And is it me, or does this 612 have an extremely long wind down?

Awesome video! Never heard one of these before. How old are they? It has a much faster, abrupt wind up (kind of like a 3016) compared to 4004's and the newer omni-directional Whelen sirens

Really? Because most Allertors I've heard are dual-tone, although I think some are single-tone. Let me tell you though...I was naive and didn't bring any hearing protection and it definitely rattled my eardrums. I rolled up the windows in my car and it still hurt! They're so loud. I can't imagine st...

Well I decided to tape the P15...and it was a P15..I knew I wasn't hearing things :shock: There's a video of it in action in the Audio/Video forum. This also brings me to another point: how diverse my town's system is! So far I know of the following: 1 P15 for sure 6 or 7 P10s 1 T128 1 T135 AC/DC 1 ...

Well it may be a city thing. Seems that all the villages test theirs differently, but they're all in Cook county. Orland tests theirs for 30 seconds to 1 minute, while every other village I've heard in Cook county tests theirs for 1-3 minutes. Some do alert and attack, some alternate between testing...

Great video...love the sound of the Thunderbolt.

I wish Orland Park tested for 3 minutes. Last month they only tested for 45 seconds. Darn yuppies probably complaining about the noise :roll:

ACA P15/ASC RM127 in Alert

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1kHen2kWbs Here's the single tone P10 I was telling you guys about. I'm actually pretty sure that it is indeed a P15. It has a straight cone and a screen covering the intake which none of the other sirens do. It starts at about 2:00. After this test, I could hear the ...
