Re: Strange siren on top of Rochefort (Belgium) Fire Department...

By design the French KM Europ sirens have the same stator layout. Also note that, unlike the CTI, it is bigger and has less ports- looks to have 8 which is inline with the KM siren in France.

I agree with the OP that it's a KM Europ siren with the horns detached.

Re: E2S: Electronic Klaxon Sirens In The US, Last Of The 10/12s

At the moment I'm unaware of any of the mechanical sirens being sold in the US, however I wouldn't be surprised if one did pop up in the wild. Obviously they will sound higher pitch compared to their UK equivalents and have a flatter sound compared to a 2T22. I'll link to a video below of a CLM Car...

Re: ASC's New Electronic Siren, The Clarity Voice Array

ASC recently posted a video to their Facebook page of them testing an I-Force 3200 next to a Clarity 832. It looks like they decided to switch from the 4 horn per module to 8 horns. This was a good move IMO considering that the angle of sound dispersion that these JBL horns have is pretty low. It's...

Re: Is it possible to run a Federal STL-10 or STH-10 on 120V

"No Tim I don't think that's right" -Al Borlean, Home Improvement. Volts X amps=watts. The siren draws 50 amps at 240V. A motors wattage cannot be changed. If you run that motor at 120V, It will pull 100 amps. Im an electronics guy. This makes me happy Uhhh, NO. And I think I covered WHY....

Re: Video Request

Could anyone possibly get a direct recording of a Klaxon ES? I'm interested to see what they sound like! They're quite strange and I want to know more about them. They sound rater boring, like the German electronic sirens. Their rarity and erratic testing times are probably the reasons as to why th...

Somebody please explain why they did this.
I'm hoping that you watched the whole video, because in the video at 1:05, it says that the controller was swapped because parts couldn't be found.
