Hey Tom.....what type of primer do you use with XO? Etching or standard primer from Rustoleum? With the XO Rust, it is direct to metal. What we do on sirens with existing powder coated paint is grind the rust spots off, then rough up the surface with an abrasive pad. Then clean with soap and water....

I have experienced the same problem with Rustoleum even the stuff in the can. I painted parts of my 500 SHST with the safety yellow and let them sit outside for a year. Within a year they were peeling and flaking. Cruz told me about XO Rust and I have been using it ever since. It seems like a high-q...

And the only siren that really has a scrap value is sirens that are metal like the Thunderbolt. Fiberglass doesn't have a good value right now and for a while it hasn't had a good scrap value. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you have no clue what you are talking about. Fiberglass has no ...

The banshee you got is coded. It also did come from Mineral Point. ECS (AKA former Action Electrical Contractors for those that remember that name from the old Rock County WI Sound Master post on here) are the Wisconsin representative for Federal Signal. When they started dealing Federal Signal arou...

Could not tell you the start frequency but they peak at 654 and 763.5

With your set up you should have three large contactors in your DCFCTBD one for the rotator, one for the chopper to run on battery, and one for the chopper to run on the transformer rectifier. The battery contactor and T/R contractor should have a buss bar going between posts on the terminals that c...

Sorry for bumping the thread, but does anyone know what driver the Alertronic uses? The Alertronic used the Atlas SD-370, those have since been discontinued, but I believe you can still get replacement diaphragms for them. If you are looking for something new they now make an AS-100N, but they are ...

TaLd1s59shc A video of my FS Modulator's MCP in action. I'm surprised I got it to work. I tried activating it in all signals. I was only able go get it to do 4 signals. Which is wail, alert, fast wail, and Westminster chimes. I don't know why the MCP control module couldn't do hi-lo and pulse. I pl...
