Diy Siren Controller for FS Model 2

Thu May 26, 2016 1:36 am

So I recently acquired a Federal Enterprises Model 2 thanks to estokke09. I have wired it up to take 220 VAC from my dad's generator with a toggle switch in between it to turn it on and off. I'm kinda tired of flipping the switch when i use it plus I'd like a simple (or not so simple) way to run it in attack similar to an RC2W. I was wondering if it's easier or cheaper to build one or buy one from somewhere and if build what I'd need. I have a decent knowledge of electricity and electronics and my granddad is an electrician so he can help me. Any thoughts from you guys? It's always appreciated and thanks!

You can find digital cycle timers on eBay for $10-20 which can be programmed for on and off times in seconds.
