Tue Sep 03, 2013 10:21 pm

I found out on Youtube, this comment said "Model 7T's dont exist, their fake"

On a Video on youtube. People say it does exist, but she says that they dont.

I've heard that was a designation for a single phase 5T.

I thought it was a 5 vs 7hp motor. Image

Thought a 7T was just a dual tone 7.

From what I heard, the Model 7 was discontinued before they started making dual-tone versions. Of course, the Model 7 is apparently the exact same thing as a Model 5 (they both have around 10HP), so it doesn't really matter what you call it (it should've been called the Model 10 or 10T).

I wouldn't believe half the s*** that is said on YT about sirens. Most people don't know what they are talking about on there except for a select few.
Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right.

I have read on this forum that a 7T is equivalent to a 5BT. In fact, I have seen Dane County change a label on their siren map from Model 7T to 5BT.

They are both the same siren. It was just a way for Federal to get around REA restrictions on motor sizes.
