There is a provision in the bid that makes it a criminal offense to make a false or fradulant statement in their bid. If I cannot find any evidence that Federal tested their 2001-130 then I will send a complaint to the FTC and our Prosecuting Attorney of Hamilton County

Found this while looking for testing results of sirens. I spoke to this company and they said they have been testing outdoor sirens for years and American Signal seemed to be closer to the reported output than any one else. They do test by ANSI standards and here is a link to their company. http://w...

By the way the specs call for the sirens to be distinctive in sound as not to confuse them with vehicle sirens, however the 2001 and most vehicle sirens are the same frequency range. There is also a thread that one poster put on this site (cannot remember where) said that he cannot tell the differen...

Justin: My company has serviced, supplied, maintained, installed, and manufactured sirens for ove 50 years and I thought I knew everything about sirens until I got on this site and it is very humbuling to be "out knowledged" by people on this site. What I was trying to say is, if the peopl...

Come on guys this site is the premere site for knowledge of sirens. I am trying to find out two things. 1. What is the difference between the 2001SRNB and the 2001-130 to boost the db up so much 2. Has the 2001-130 ever been tested and if so was it by ANSI S12.14 and where is the report.

Just heard that Wyane County is having problems with Federal sirens meeting the specified db rating and people cannot hear them. So the contractor who laid out the system said to buy more (I supose at an extra cost)

Jpressman wrote this on another thread "Hamilton County Sirens".......... Just called N. College Hill police department and authenticated the call. I'm not a big fan of reverse 911. So here is some proof that reverse 911 is a failure. The officer at dispatch told me that the report went ou...

There are several fire chiefs and EMA directors that have told me of their opinions on this subject. A couple of these officials live near 2001's and then they work near T-128 and all tell me the T-128 blows away the 2001. This information may come in handy later on.

Jim: Please read the original post and read the testing data. ANSI Standards for testing outdoor sirens are S12.14. This was a seperate classification due to the shear size of the equipment and output of the siren (I assume). ANSI must have noticed a need to make this seperate classification and all...

Guys this is nothing new with Federal. In 1979 they were brought up and found guilty of fraud and price fixing and sanctioned by the FTC. My favorite is that of Newark Ohio's purchase of the Thunderbeams (forgive me as I do not remember the year) but the story goes like this: The City of Newark came...
