Glad to see your finally got on the board! (I'm Jsncrso from YouTube)



As for loudmouth's comment on the Siren Contest, I doubt I'll probably ever do that again. YouTube kinda took that over :wink:

Welcome, Derek.
I enjoyed seeing a real Federal Signal control panel with the colored buttons.

Is that an hour meter [0807]?
How is it read?
The siren has been activated for a total of 8 hours and 7 minutes?

Thank you,

Thank you,

That's how many times the radio receiver has activated the timer. Basically, you can tell the life of the siren. My 1981 vintage T-bolt's counter read 17. It was tested once a year for a nuke plant for 3 minutes. 17x3=51 minutes; the amount of time my T-bolt had run. Not bad!

That's all? Just 51 minutes total? It's hardly broken in!
So what does 0807 mean? 807 times 3?
Or do the times vary?
I wanted to place counters on my piano keys.
Thank you, Jason

If you do get the OK to sound it in Hi-Lo, is there a way you can make it do Hi-Lo Wail?

Welcome! So they've removed it? Do you know what type of Whelen they're replacing it with?
(I'm huffmanme on the 'Tube.)
If your siren is a-failin'
Chances are that it's a Whelen
And if it's just about to die
Then it must be an ATI

Take a look at the paragraph you quoted,
