(NMV) An unexpected find in Finland

Thu Oct 06, 2016 1:36 am

This evening I felt like watching some videos of the Teho-Ulvo (Power-Wail) electronic sirens used in Finland. As I wandered around YouTube, I found something quite unexpected...a WPS-2750 at the historic fortress of Suomenlinna, in Helsinki. It even has a custom tone!

I guess the Danes aren't the only Europeans with Whelens - although the sirens in Finland seem like they're locally owned/maintained, so this is an exception rather than the rule like it is there. (They do test at the national level though, on the first Monday of the month at noon.)

(Test starts at 0:33 - and of course, this isn't my video.)

Don't wait. Take a siren photo today.
I was VASirens, but I moved.Check out IRC!
Proud owner of a frozen Model A, a Darley Champion "L", an Ademco 12V beehive, a few horns, a brass whistle and several old weather radios that sound like sirens. Those last three count, right?

How many are there?
It sounds like there are more....
Seen a: KM Europ, small Klaxon siren and a Gents' of Leicester "ahooga" horn.
Also a big fan of both Apollo and Protec fire alarms.

Also here in the UK at RAF bases and oil refineries there are some Whelens lurking around
