Yeah sort of like the "check engine light" for sirens
Yeah only it's a little more revealing than the little orange wrench light.

Oh! I didn't make myself clear! It looks to me like the driver replacement would be a pain in the bazooka.

I believe each driver has a hatch to allow access to it and removal/replacement.
Still, you'd need a bucket to get up there.

What is the diameter of the disks? They look quite large.

Wait till the first direct hit by lightning...
A lightning bolt fried a Modulator where I work, messed up a T-bolt pretty bad too.

Don't they have a ground conductor? I'd expect them to expect that, and provide good grounding.

Yeah, that's pure lighting rod right there...
FS's and ASC's electronic sirens look too similar. Maybe we will see some lawsuits!

where does the sound come ftom if it is completly enclosed?

I assume the drivers are enclosed within the fat rounded upper disks.
The sound would come out of openings from the upper disks close to the center of the disks (but around a center pole). The openings would be downwards so water will not enter.
The sound enters the exponentially flaring pathways formed by two disk surfaces.
The bottom disk would have no drivers. It simply forms the bottom wall of the exponential path from the disk above - I presume.
