Monthly test of this green Modulator 3012, located at Fort Ruger Park in Kahala. It uses MC controls, and runs strictly on solar power. A Modulator 3024H-UV is barely audible after the 3012 winds down.
The Model A can be run off a regular 120V wall socket. Properly splicing a cord with a male end plug is your best bet. An AF/AR timer is definitely a great bonus, but isn’t required at all for the Model A to work. It’s a fractional HP motor, so technically a motor starter is not needed. I added a ch...
NeR_kbJap5M This gem of a DSA is located at Coral Creek Golf Course, in 'Ewa Beach on the Island of O'ahu. It still has the original MC controls, programmed for 850/1020hz dual tone. The Coral Creek Golf Course area is within the Campbell Industrial Park hazmat zone, therefore this siren is program...
It's hard to tell from the pictures, but based on your description, it's likely a Model 20. There are still a few units up and running, likely a few more that have been overlooked. Aside from the chopped up housing, I'm surprised how well it's held up. Cool find 182829323_924444431702190_3348740855...
Aloha everybody. A few months ago, I discovered what appears to be a very early Model 5/7 variant. It’s located on Bellows Air Force Base in the town of Waimānalo, on the Island of O’ahu. The siren has been abandoned for quite some time. It’s replacement… an ATI, stands several dozen feet away. Now ...
O'ahu has always been known for it's large system of Thunderbolts among the siren community. Many of us have seen & heard these 'bolts in action during the 2010 Chile earthquake, 2011 Japan earthquake & 2012 Canada earthquake tsunami warnings. Growing up less than 1000 feet away from a 1000B...
This is the last Yellow EOWS 612 on O'ahu that's active. It's located in Whitmore Village at the neighborhood park. It's running dual tone UltraVoice controls. It's one of only 5 EOWS sirens left on the entire island of O'ahu. These things are disappearing fast, so I've made it my goal to catch them...
Here’s some semi-recent photos of O’ahu’s abandoned legacy sirens. All are disconnected & abandoned in place, slowly awaiting removal. The STL was replaced by a white 6024B 2 blocks away. The Fedelcode M7 was replaced by an ATI less than 50 feet away. The SD-10, 1000BT & Federal M7 haven’t b...
And a siren that new was just thrown out? Yup, as far as I'm aware they all went straight in the bin. The Dillingham East Gate I-Force faired the worst, dare I say worse than some of the mechanical legacy sirens. It only lasted about 10 years, and looked like an absolute rust bucket due to the corr...
