Yeah, Eden Prairie had quite an interesting system, one of the few ACA battery backup systems. I remember back when i was a little kid lurking this board in the 2000s, that PN-20 photo freaked me out. The thing looks menacing and evil somehow. I think one of them (maybe even this one) was donated to thegeekgroup, who made a video taking it apart.

Eden Prairie has by now scrapped all the sirens and replaced them with 2001-130s. The PN-20 failed in 2005 and it was replaced by a SRNB. It sits on an old police storage facility. The old stand is still in use for it. All of the old red ACA sirens that were still active were taken down in about 2011, but two Allertors remained until 2015. I’ve lived here in EP my whole life and my mom was an assistant chief a while back, so I know the fire chief that worked on the project (the fire chief now is a complete clown)
