The Siren Board

Houses have 240v service available through the breaker panel and the dryer outlet(i think the rating for these outlets is 20 amps). These will run on 110v, they just draw a bit more power and won't reach full speed of course.

You could get a step-up transformer, for a fast and versatile approach. All you need to know is wattage (W=VA) and it will run fine, as I use one for my Model J. (I would recommend the Goldsource STU series)

Ooh, thanks! My house apparently has a 240v at my dryer, and my stove, thanks for the information, now siren voltage won't be AS much as a issue when buying, knowing there is a 240v in my house

In picture 0053, where do the two purple wires terminated at points 1 and 3 in the 8npin base for the 12vdc relay go to? (Relay on the left) Also.in the same picture, was the toggle switch on the side of the box purposed as a hand-off-auto?
