Whelen WPS 2xxx Questions(Many Videos)

Fri May 10, 2013 3:41 am

Here's a Whelen WPS 2808 at Taylor Lake Village, Texas.

Hm...it's on an old controller :shock: Can someone explain how an ESC-864 controller can work on a siren like this?

Also take a look at this video of a WPS 2750 and 4004.

The brackets that hold the 2750 together are white, and there are only 4.
Now watch this one of a WPS 2x10 in Denmark, and pay close attention to the siren head.

From what I'm finding online, Denmark has a system of 2700 series Whelens, but this looks like a WPS 2810 :? Can someone verify the series?

Sorry about emmbedding so many videos :oops:

I am assuming the Danish sirens use the 2800 series because of the tones they use for tests. I do not believe the tones in the following video were offered until the 2800 series. I will try to do more research but my knowledge on the Danish language is very limited. Hopefully being a German Major will help me out some :lol:

Sorry to post again but this youtube channel provides a lot of information on the Danish siren system which I find very cool! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pw-B7GY1pCM

1078 sirens cover about 80% of the Danish population. Now keep in mind that Denmark is roughly a size smaller than the state of Ohio. Their siren system covers more of the population than the entire state of Ohio!

You might want to send a message to the user who posted this video on youtube and ask about which type of sirens they use. I think its pretty cool they use sirens that are 99% made in the United States.
