alert is for plant emergencies, not sure what hi-lo is used for. There's also some 3016s in the system retrofitted with new controls, and also do the new 550hz alert tone. I've got to take a drive up there one of these days durring an annual test.

Here is another video of the WPS-4008, this one is a little more up close ( this one is in Plano, TX). I wish Whelen still had this model in production.

Anyone know where the Seabrook system siren(s) is(are) in Merrimac? The test is going to be Wednesday the 10th and I might be in town then.

If I'm not working that day I'll be in Amesbury to watch the test. Might bring a DV camera if I can find the battery.

There's another 4008 off of Rt113 near some kind of park entrance in West Newbury.

I got my siren. Uploading the video right now.

The public works guy in Amesbury seemed to think there was one in Merrimac, but he didn't know where. My girlfriend lives there and said the noise was quite loud.
