Re: Where can I get sirens?

What are you looking for and where are you at.
I have a number of sirens that i am looking to sell off in Ohio. But unless you have a big trailer and deep pockets, these are not the sirens you are looking for.

Re: Siren Activation Channels

There are also other options to activate sirens that haven't really been discussed here that I have seen. First is SCADA / Motorola MOSCAD, which has been renamed to some other product that I can't remember the name to right now. But those are both data systems that connect to the controller board v...

Re: Whelen ESC-2020 Help

Check that the cable on the right side going from amps 1-4 is connected there and not to amps 5-10. Find a tone type wire tracer that is used to locate wire pairs by phone guys and network guys. Use that to verify that you are really getting audio to the amplifiers when you command it to sound. It a...

Re: If you could build your own siren system for your city, what would you use?

I would use one of the cellular alert systems and for go the sirens all together. And distribute '911' cell phones to those that did not have a working cell phone.

Of maybe put sirens at schools, parks and public meeting places but no where else.

Not sure if there is interest in seeing a restoration thread on a Vortex or not. But I will be rebuilding the gear box and some other stuff that's not typically docume...

Re: Advice For Newer Enthusiasts?

I have some advice for getting sirens: 1: Look for abandoned, broken, or inactive sirens (best places are city halls and fire departments; ask them how long it has been inactive for, then ask them if you can get it once they have removed the siren). 2: Ask fire departments/city halls if they once h...

Re: STH-10A 3 phase

Well, here's how to figure it out. If you have an electric motor that is rated at 10 hp and you have a generator that has an engine that is rated at 40 hp then you will not have a problem. If you have a siren motor that is rated at 10 hp and a generator that has a motor that's rated at 7 hp it will ...
