Re: Kuna Idaho Fedelcode long legs model 2

That siren is actually a Federal Enterprises Model 2, as it features a small cap at the top, which the Federal Electric/Fedelcode era Model 2s lack. This is also a later Enterprises unit because it uses one brush for each side instead of the two brushes per side found in the older Federal Electric/F...

According to the manual, they use 5 amp fuses for the left side fuse block and 15 amp fuses for the right fuse block.

Re: What happened to the Holberg, BC Thunderbolt?!

If I had to guess it was most likely scrapped, just like most of Canada's CD sirens.

Re: Silverstreet, SC Thunderbolt 1003 Acceptance Test

Wow it has been restored so much I like the lighting bolts on the horn reminds me of the old mineola 1003 ;) also is the rotator reverse wired? Yes, it is rotating in the other direction. For a thunderbolt, it does not matter which way it rotates. This occurs due to the mixing of two of the three p...

Re: What is my Model 2 doing?

Were you able to replace the brushes yet? To me, it seems like a brush issue. As you said, the Model 2 hasn't ran in 40 years, and It's probably never had a brush change in its lifetime.

Re: Can a Siratrol B used w/a 2001SRN?

As mentioned by Chicagosiren-hunters, the AR/AF timer can be used with a 2001; however, it should never be controlled directly through the AR/AF timer. The AR/AF timer is responsible for making the signals and controlling the contactors for the chopper and rotator. You can utilize two contactors and...

Re: Google not recommending siren maps anymore?
