Cincinnati Metropolitan Area Sirens

It may also need the software chip installed in the RTU if it hasn't been yet.

Turns out the TBolt is still there. It's pointing due north so that would explain why I couldn't see it last night. I did contact the EMA director as well but haven't heard anything yet.

Also, I went on a drive through the country today, and the EOWS*1212 in Shandon is still standing, though I don't know if it's still used. There's also a 2001 at Morgan Township's other fire station near Okeana.

Went on a mini siren hunt today. Went to the Thunderbolt and T-128 at the sewer plant on Kellogg, then the Jailbar Thunderbolt and T-128 at Cardinal Pacelli, and last but not least, the Thunderbolt on Kilgour Elementary.

Nice photo's Christian! I just recently found out about the Thunderbolt and T-128 at the Metropolitan Sewer District(Kellog Street) from Michael Eshom's(Oldiesmann's) map.

Thanks! Yeah, the replacement T-128 for the Kellogg road one has been up for a while.

I've seen the Sewer Metro Thunderbolt 1000 and T-128 back in August '12. Looks like they both rotated since then, maybe they went off together? It's certainly possible. Someone should confirm if the Seton High School SD-10 is actually gone. Maybe I didn't look hard enough. Though I swear I remember looking everywhere and just seeing the T-128 only.

Looks like the power is still turned off to the Cardinal Pacelli T-128? I saw it back in May 2012!!! Did you even notice any wires?

[4J25]

Nope.

Here's the response I got from the EMA director about the T-128 here in Northside.

Waiting for Electrical inspection to pass and contractor to commission into the new system. This will be completed next week.

3+ months to do an electrical inspection and have a radio chip installed. Nevermind that we're already 16 months behind schedule as far as when this was supposed to be completed. At the rate they're going, I'll be surprised if everything is up and running by March of next year.

I'm surprised that it seems like electrical inspections are done after the siren has been connected to the electric. I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't completed next week.

I wonder why the Cardinal Pacelli T-128 has been installed for well over a year, and doesn't seem to at least be connected to the electric.
