The Siren Board

The rectifier allows it to run off the grid. Otherwise it runs off the batteries all the time.

My hats off to this guy...inherited a mess, and turned it around.

Bet it'll scream its behind off now with 60+ VDC coming off that rectifier... Even if it does at least they'll run even with bad batteries. It's great to see that they are starting to take better care of the system.

They sure will. You know, I kind of hope that they screw up the wiring in a couple of them so they'll be as high pitched as some of the 2001s you've recorded. Sure would be interesting to hear one scream in 4/2 fast wail.

as one that has had quite a number of failures in our county, so glad to see this happening also our residents will FINALLY have a way to be warned of an impending storm once again "coughgrangercough"

Yay! The poor 64 sirens is getting the care they need! For that county, I'm happy theres a new EMA director! The only siren on that list that I don't completely has a immediate issue is the one with the bent cover, its really just cosmetic, but its epic the sirens are being fixed!

Those zinc brackets were also made in China.

Apologies for the bump, but i've got the Spencer Harman Indiana siren map pulled up here, and I can't find the SJC 2001-130. Where is the location??
