Re: "Salem, OH sirens fail test"

30 year old electronic siren. All obsolete product. Parts for repairs are getting harder and harder to come by. If the EOWS sits unused for extended periods of time the shaft oxidizes or corrodes causing the speaker connections to be intermittent. Also, may users / customer neglect to maintain and k...

You can move it by hand with 20 to 30 ft/lbs of force if the drive band mechanism is adjusted properly: Pull on the scale until the horn begins to rotate.

Pierce County did not update all the older sirens to operate via satellite. I'm pretty sure all the Ultra Voice controls / modulator sirens are updated for satellite activation and as far as I know all are fully operational. Basically if you see a UV control box the site is more than likely on the s...

The main differences between the older and new 2001 siren heads are the rotator motors. Older 2001SRN sirens have a belt drive rotator. The 2001SRNB heads have a gear drive rotator. The 2001DC is the controller box on the bottom of the pole not the siren. Be careful going to an updated 2 way control...

Sentry and ASC will own Federal in my book...hands down. ASC has the T-128 with it's low-tone that likes to penetrate walls better and carry further distances. Now Federal jumps in the low-tone, DC, directional game with a new 2001 that can only do 126 dB? Nahh...I think ASC can do this one. Let's ...
