I'm very shocked about reading this. Although I am more shocked at the Federal story, and not the American story. Quite disappointing, just proves everything is about money these days, and not quality. I bet they purposely installed the used Thunderbolt so in a few years when it failed, they could tell the city that a whole new siren is needed, which seems to be the approach from all siren manufactures these days.

Yes they did install the used siren and everyone knew it was used, however when I install a used siren I take it completely apart oil grease, new brushes, clean armature, prime, paint, new screen etc. This was just a disgusting lack of care and pride. This T-Bolt looked like it had been there 20 years.

Ridiculous. And as mentioned before unprofessional.

Where is the Tbolt you're talking about? Interested in looking at street view and seeing that monstrosity.

Please convince the EMA to completely drop FFS, or even sue them. This madness would give them a well deserved bad rep. Sad that there are less people like you that seriously want to help communities even if they can't afford high end systems, and more of people that are all about money and don't care about the consumer.

Second siren I went to today was at Strickers Grove that is a new T-128 that was installed a few years ago by ANS/American Signal. This was the worst installation I have ever seen. When we arrived the door was blown open from battery explosion. I removed the batteries and extensively cleaned the cabinets.After installing the batteries I noticed the following:
Battery Blankets were installed wrong
FSK board was wired improperly thereby holding squelch open
The antenna interface cable used 154mhz connectors jammed into an 800 mhz radio antenna connector
The radio was installed backwards
The radio was hooked up with 25' of cable rolled up and jammed into the compulert cabinet

These sirens in Hamilton County were also half assed by ANS/ASC and it is I that has to correct all their mistakes and the taxpayers are footing the bill as ASC gets rich by doing inferior work

It kind of makes you wonder how many of the other sirens that ANS installed were installed this way.

Well, I went through Greenhills today, and the T-128 siren head wasn't on the pole, while the controls are still there. I wonder what's going on...
