FS&S 3T22 "RC6-A" Tag Identification.

[OwenLester]

As someone whos a huge nerd for the smallest details about sirens, I finally managed to find my first tag on the controls of a (slightly) local siren of mine. However, Federal was weird with their tags, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to decode it. I did indeed search up how to decode these tags, but the answers were very inconsistent, so I gave up there. Here is the tag;



Been a hot minute since I've asked a question on here, sorry if I sound a bit rough.

Nice to see you! Can I have the location of this siren? I'd like to see it in person if you don't mind. But all I understand about the tag is that it is 10 hp, 3-phase powered, 208-240 volts, and 30 amps. But based on the “type” (RC6-A), I'm guessing this is a tag for a controller of some sort. I may be mistaken, though.

Siren is located at the sheriff’s office in Chelan. Early 3T22 model.

Yeah, I was aware of that info, I’m just trying to decode the serial number.

I'm rightfully unsure if the serial has any real meaning. It's been observed on RC6s of the era (mid-70s) so it's not anything uncommon per se. For what it's worth, an RC6 is a motor starter.

Thank you for your help man. I'm still learning more about siren controllers as well as serials. My state is very undocumented so I like getting even the smallest bits of info. Good to know the 3T22 itself is likely from the 70s. Cheers!
