The Siren Board

"Perhaps though selling more sirens to fill the voids is an excellent business model." No No.... That called Greed...

Who cares if it doesn't sound as good as a Thunderbolt or a 2t22 but it gets the job done effectively. Would you rather have a 55 year old rusted out Thunderbolt, or a Brand new 2001-130 protecting your community?

i hate to say it but there's a point there, when it comes to siren systems, i'd rather have a new one. not to say that one is greater than the other. for example, grapevine got a brand new warning system of FS-2001's and 1 Eclipse8, plus a 7-cell modulator,even though their old outdoor wqrning system was just 30 years old, they chose a new one because of reliability in all situations, they get the job done, as they were recently tested not on normally scheduled testing day and worked.

" as they were recently tested not on normally scheduled testing day and worked."




All I can say to that.. Lucky it worked this time. The number of failure with that system is very high. It's only a matter of time it's going to fail.

our county has a system of 2001's and two modulators all ranging in different age the first ones where in installed in 1993. we had no problems will sirens but this year the first problem that i know the computer software didnt work right but the sirens get the job done.

we'll see who fails first Grapevine or Dallas as they got one too, though i don't care as long as it does it's job. Grapevine probably chose the FS-2001's because of budget, wew're not as rich as southlake, but maybe a little below that.
