Re: A aca hurricane 130 on 84th and florist that got replaced by a t-128 any info at all anyone?

The siren was removed in the early 2000s' and replaced with the T-128 you see. The siren was placed on the existing pole. I believe the blower and controls were scrapped, but the head was saved and is at American Signal. We brought the siren head to SirenCon 2023 and ran it up on a Thunderbolt blower.

Re: There is a Hurricane at Sirencon right now!!!

Allow me to shed light on this subject. Since Josh (one of the SWS guys) started SirenCon and he runs the show he was looking for sponsorship. The SirenCon staff reached out of Federal Signal who told them to get in contact with the other Wisconsin siren company that shall not be named. As you can i...

Re: ASC job questions?

Tom with SWS here, I know ASC is currently looking for more staff in the production area. They are looking for full-time, but possibly part-time as well. We are not currently looking for any more workers at SWS, but that could soon change. I do also believe that ASC needs you to be 18 to get hired, ...

Re: The new T-128 horn design (intentional or not)

Allow me to enlighten you on the new horn design. The old design is not discontinued or completely switched to the new design. In fact the T-128 we are installing Friday, still has the old design. As most of you may know since the days of ACA, ACA, and American Signal never cast their own fiberglass...

Re: ACA / ASC siren controllers evolution

You can not judge what is inside based on the style of enclosure. We have seen CompuLert 3 boards inside the "Version 1" style box. The "Version 1" style box is actually CompuLert 2.

Re: Ginna Nuclear power plant siren replacement

Most manufacturers do not want sirens going to collectors not out of fear of the collectors setting them off, but due to it possibly costing them a sale. If they can make sure old sirens or the siren part of the old sirens are disposed of it guarantees that it can't take away from a future $22,000 s...

Re: Peach Bottom #85

It sounds like that system has been upgraded to Encrypted FSK. I think all ASC nuclear systems were upgraded due to the nuclear system to the north of me also having them. I am also willing to bet that they are using acoustic sensor cards.
