Sirens From All Across the Country (Picture Overload)

[FSThunderboltfan1000]

The sirens in that video were ASC Cyclones and ASC OM-120s. When ASC Switched to the OM-120 design they were always either 8 or 9 port not 12 port I have yet to find a 12 port one. Here are two pictures of the actual sirens in the system. ASC Cyclone http://www.jmarcoz.com/sirens/richmond01_ca.jpg . ASC OM-120 http://www.jmarcoz.com/sirens/richmond11_ca.jpg

That looks more like a Banshee. Maybe refurbished.

And that ATI/E-Class is indeed an ATI due to the stand. An ASC E-Class would have 1 leg (like a T-128) but the ATI goes directly onto the pole like shown.

Mysterious, you're right. AL-6000. And I concur, that's a solar panel.

I'm going to get gray hairs from saying this so many times. Batman is right...the first 2001 is a 2001-SRN. -AC/-DC indicates primary power source and is NOT the siren's name! The -SRN designation belongs to everything before the -SRNB.

Both photos labeled "Another 2001" are -SRNBs. You can tell from the cube rotator. The one next to the Darley is also a -SRNB. You can tell because the -130 has an elongated rear section that this one does not.

The second Mod has 5 cells and is a 5020. You're right, Batman.

The 3200-watt Kingstar horned siren above is an older ATI HPSS-32. ASC doesn't let their wires dangle like ATI does; they tie them up neatly into a junction box. Also, the mounting bracket is an ATI mounting bracket.

Now that that's out of the way, here's what I really came to say:

On the picture labeled "Control boxes from a 2001 (I believe)" (and yes, it is a mid to late 90's 2001 control), did anyone notice just how badly rotted through that pole is? That thing looks patently ready to snap apart (or at least, the controls to fall off). What an incredible safety hazard.

Sorry about the mistake with the 2001s I've apparently been fed some misleading information in the past...
And I miscounted the cells on the MOD.

Actually that looks more like woodpecker damage. They can destroy a pole after the preservatives leech out and bugs start to live in it. We've got some poles around here that have holes bored all the way through them.

We've got those BIG woodpeckers down here. Not sure exactly what species they are, but the power company calls them yellow bellied pole borers.

The picture where you weren't sure if it was a siren or not might be a Sterling 2v8

That roundback looks to be from West Memphis, Arkansas. When were you there? That's literally 30 minutes from me.

No see, these pictures were taken by my brother. I didn't go on the trip with him. He went in August of this year. I didn't get to see any of these sirens in person.

Thanks for the info on the 2001s. They aren't really my forte because I don't have them where I live.
