I took a video of my fire departments weekly siren test the siren did not work properly.

No. No one has a clue what it is. It is one of those things no one knows about or cares about.soccerdude7330 wrote:Hmm, do you know if this Model 5 has a solenoid on it?
Same! I was like this is pretty nice then boom! It doesnt sound too bad in the video but 20 feet away from it, it was crazy2t22boy wrote:At first I thought "I don't hear anything unusual"...then wow!
That could be the case. When these were made, they came with an obsolete clockwork coding mechanism to actuate the damper, so it's quite possible that when the control system was upgraded and they eliminated the use of coded signals, they wired the damper motor to come on with the siren motor. Otherwise, they would either have to keep it energized through the wind-down or remove the mechanism.Nelso90 wrote:Or, the solenoid could be wired in conjunction with the motor, so it engages when the motor engages, and shuts off with the motor too.
