Here are some photos from sirencon!
A few images I took on my way back from sirencon to Wisconsin.

Enjoy!

(Some images did not go through, I’ll need to update them when I can later)

You would need to have an ENDEC or DASDEC system of some sort to run a relay, it does not really work with weather radio/relay due to the fact that the alert out is just for stobes or propritary stuff

Hiya mates. I have plans to upload the video I took, but when I do keep this in mind: 1. There will be a lot of other, much better recordings of it. 2. Due to camera placement, I got a lot of talking from kids or other people 3. The video quality will vary. I recorded some at 1080p 50 FPS and some a...

Yeahhhh I think that siren's done. Maybe straighten it out, give it a fresh coat of paint, and put it in the living room with a lamp on top of it =D

The Model 2 I own is larger than a lamp, I dunno if that would be a good size
(Just to be the smart guy I guess)

Mobil Directo installation in Atlanta 1953:

That siren system in today's money is 375,924.38

How will the 240VAC access points for small sirens look? Standard female outlet? Two wires? I'd like to prepare my FE Model 2 for it

Honestly to my perspective a 130 Decibel 2001 siren is way too overkill for such a town. If there is already a 2001 there, despite being a fairly old model by now that covers the entire town, why not go with a smaller, omnidirectional siren like a T-121 or an Eclipse 8? That would be more cost effi...

I'm not sure where anyone here got the idea that any model of 2001 is unreliable. I've only seen a handful of videos of 2001s experiencing any major issues, 99% of the thousands of 2001s across the country work perfectly fine and without issue. Even units that are over 35 years old now are still ki...

What reasons are there for saving it, pray tell, besides your own personal vanity? Let's say they were to procure a 2001-130. The 2001-130 is a better siren in every way than the Howler. Less complex, more reliable rotation system, significantly louder, more modern controls, and time tested reliabi...

I just went to the Cologne Howler for the SWAW test, and unfortunately, it is dead. It did not activate at the 1:45, from what a firefighter told us, and it didn’t work at 6:45 when I was there. When my dad messaged them about the siren two years ago and they said once it dies, it’s done. But the fi...
