They were, but apparently there was at least one or two that hadn't been taken down thereafter for whatever reason, but still were decommissioned. A few years after the new system has been in place, they decided to purchase three more sirens to integrate with the current system. Whomever installed t...
It IS a Mod II. That had been established in the second and fifth posts, just not the exact model within the line. What was the reason for the Whelen replacement? So then is this the only electronic siren left since they replaced most with 2001's? From what I'm reading here: http://www.cityofdearbo...
Did the old Whelen have a UV installed? As far as I'm aware, no. The new system was most if not all 2001-130s. No retrofitting. https://www.google.com/maps/preview#!data=!1m8!1m3!1d3!2d-83.234586!3d42.300713!2m2!1f48.85!2f96!4f84.96!2m9!1e1!2m4!1s1Jty9oAonj4HGpGKD6WuoQ!2e0!9m1!6sOakwood+Boulevard!5...
Nevermind apparently you have a problem and like being rude im done here. someone please lock this. :problem: If you like the EOWS series so much, here's what you can do: buy some Legos, then assemble some cones or something similar. Put it on a dinky pole and add a control box. Voilà! You can now ...
/\ I may also add that in the video TBolt linked of the titled video "6 Speaker Tornado Siren" at the 0:05 mark, there is definitely a semi-noticable NEMA 3R enclosure for the batteries and a 4X for the control module just behind the pole, which UVs have and are denoted by.
Were the EOWS sirens even able to do voice? Of course, they didn't rotate (or in the case of Watertown's, aren't supposed to rotate) during their voice announcements. The earlier controllers, just like Whelen's early controllers, don't do digital voice. Yes. Here is another example of voice on the ...
I think this siren is out of service because there are no controls visible on street view... Not necessarily. The controls may very well be housed inside a small building or other department, which is quite common. Sometimes this is seen at fire departments and such to quickly push-activate a funct...
To the picture of the Alertronic you have in question, the model specifically would be a AL-6000, unless I'm mistaken. Is the top loose on the siren or is that a solar panel? I'm aware that the AL line could have a solar panel added to a station as part of their Optional Siren Equipment list. Great ...
