Thanks to everyone who helped me get on this board.
Glad to see your finally got on the board! (I'm Jsncrso from YouTube)
As for loudmouth's comment on the Siren Contest, I doubt I'll probably ever do that again. YouTube kinda took that over

Welcome, Derek.
I enjoyed seeing a real Federal Signal control panel with the colored buttons.
Is that an hour meter
[0807]?
How is it read?
The siren has been activated for a total of 8 hours and 7 minutes?
Thank you,

That's how many times the radio receiver has activated the timer. Basically, you can tell the life of the siren. My 1981 vintage T-bolt's counter read 17. It was tested once a year for a nuke plant for 3 minutes. 17x3=51 minutes; the amount of time my T-bolt had run. Not bad!

That's all? Just 51 minutes total? It's hardly broken in!
So what does 0807 mean? 807 times 3?
Or do the times vary?
I wanted to place counters on my piano keys.
Thank you, Jason

If you do get the OK to sound it in Hi-Lo, is there a way you can make it do Hi-Lo Wail?

Welcome! So they've removed it? Do you know what type of Whelen they're replacing it with?

Take a look at the paragraph you quoted,
"now they are
Not going to replace it"[/b]
