Thank you very much for the information. I keep checking in from time to time. If it helps, Sarnia never had a soft start on any of the Alertronics, and they had a long wind down. Our local power company installed them (and removed them) so would it be possible that they might have wired them up wro...

Thanks very much FSThunderboltfan1000 Now our only hope is that whoever bought that last remaining Alertronic from Sarnia is able to restore it. One thing i remember about the tones of these sirens is that high was piercingly louder the the low, with a wonky timbre, always reminded me of two trumpet...

Would the radio controls have been inside or outside the main control box? I do remember wires running from the cities electrical poles to the sirens, which were obviously removed before 1997. Something that always puzzled me was the cities over use of growl testing these (which was a single 3 secon...

Thank you very much for the information, much appreciated. The second video (Tsunami Siren in Kodiak Alaska) sounds pretty much dead on to what I remember the Alertronics of Sarnia tone was. What little information that I gathered at the Sarnia library says that the city failed a nationwide fire dri...

The Controller for the siren is ACA's Compulert system. But is that what generated the actual tones in the siren, or is that a separate component? Judging by the picture there appears to be two separate set of buttons that control the siren tones in the control box. I am trying to find a manual onli...

All of the ACA Alertronic videos on youtube sound different to the ones that were in Sarnia, which had a hard windup and longish wind down. They were dual toned and had a unique, almost wonky timbre to them (like a dual toned Whelen 3016 or even a higher pitched EOWS 612 with a siratone cabinet, but...

Sarnia's 11 of 12 ACA Alertronic 6000's taken in April 1998 by my mother and I.

Looking for the ACA Allertronic 6000 (RE-1600) manual.

From the research we gathered from our public library, apparently Sarnia failed a nation wide fire drill (cold war era) in the fall of 1985. Our original system was the B&N Mobil Directo and I only remember seeing two of those in my life time. One is the black and white picture seen earlier in t...

Thank you, I see the person who has the video of the one from Sarnia has sold his, hopefully whoever bought it is able to get it up and running and make a video...I will continue to look for those two videos or any audio....
