Federal signal Model 28H, steady & wail

Playing around with my 28H again. I ran it full power for several seconds to show how high pitch it really is. This thing really pulls some amps, the thumb switch I was using on the ground had 12ga wires & they were very hot after the test.
I was running it in a well insulated building, but it still could be heard around the neighborhood, I had to combine the steady & wail together to shorten the test so the police wouldn't show up at my door. (We have a noise restriction in my neighborhood)

Thanks for waking me up from falling to sleep at nearly 2AM in the morning! That thing is a screamer! :shock:

I will agree on the 2001 remark as well.

I was running it off of an old 12v car battery. If I had a new fully charged 900 cca battery & better wiring, I know it'll get alot higher. I'll do that when I go to test my high/low European siren in a few weeks. I'll have to make sure to wet the floor before the next test though, it kicked up all kinds of dust & glass particals from the insulation, I could only imagine what it'll do running faster. :D
