November Recordings - Columbus, GA/Phenix City, AL

Mon Nov 27, 2017 10:03 pm

Since I have 6 videos to share I figured I'd post them in one thread.

First up we have a test from Columbus. This particular siren was having issues some time ago where it would just die in the middle of tests. Now it's up and going again. Excuse the music in the beginning.

The following week I went to one of our upgraded Whelen sirens to see how it was holding up. The last time I recorded it the siren was still tied to the old system and worked just fine. It worked well this time around, can't say the same for the other 90% of the system that ran for 3 minutes in wail and air horn.

This is an ambiance recording of the system from the same week. You'll hear two at the end screw up and run in wail for 3 minutes in wail. One dies before completing its cycle.

This is a video was taken by another enthusiast in the city. He managed to catch one in the act. It dies towards the end.

The following week I went to one of the sirens that run for 3 minutes in wail. Instead of wail it gave me air horn.

Finally this past weekend I went to one of Russell County, AL's Whelen Vortexes. I suspected something had changed in regards to their testing sequence and this this particular siren had been upgraded. I was right on both assumptions. The Vortexes and 2001's now activate at the same time instead of one after the other. This siren was one of the originals installed in 2003. It had its panel upgraded sometime within the past year.
