How to adjust Thunderbolt 1003A Chopper and Blower and replace high note solenoid.

Thu Feb 08, 2018 11:49 pm

Hi everyone I'm A HUGE siren fan and wondering if someone can give me a good explanation other than the manual. I'm wondering if anyone has or knows where I can get a solenoid for the high note and also how to switch the blower and chopper levels. ANY video or any info this would be greatly appreciated thanks a million!

Both solenoids for both ports are the same make, it's just that one's mounted higher than the other one. Whether the company's still in buisness is something I don't know.

According to the manual, adjust the rotor/chopper speed you need to change the rotor/chopper's terminal lead's position from a scale of 1-7 whereas 7 being the maximal rotor speed and 1 the lowest.

Note that you cannot set the blower motor's speed.
