Here's a video of the siren.
The siren seems it has weird sounding windup and wind down. It sounds a Sterling M-10/M-5 winding up. It wasn't that loud when I heard it go off. It's loud as a Model 2. Does the siren have a blocked intake? Or it has a small chopper than other 9/12 port choppers?
Please read video description for more information about the siren.

Anyway, here are photos of the siren:

**The Model 5BT photos were originally taken on February 17, 2013.**

Here are photos of the CD&F radio/control box and the motor starter:

^It looks like someone has repainted the motor starter to red.

Note: The CD&F radio/control box and the motor starter photos were taken on December 7, 2013.

Are you it is a Model 5AT? When I looked at my photos of the siren, I spot 2 wires going to the motor.

Edit with more info: All of Spartanburg County's Model 5ATs are supposed to be running on 208 volts. The Model 5T near Roebuck, SC seems it is running full power (220 volts). So, it is a Model 5BT. I know why are you saying it's a 5AT, because it has a long wind down. But it's a 5BT. I could be wrong, though.
