Thunderbolt Variants and What They Mean.

[29 ALF]

Ah I see! That makes even more sense. I'm not good with identifying blower models but that helps a ton...also, just to clarify, I'm the friend that's (hopefully) going to see this bolt again! I have pictures of it if you want to confirm if the model is correct. I also have a picture of the blower box. The model name just really puzzled me is all.

I'll place the images here

I would say the best way would be to listen to the way the blower itself sounds. Each series seems to have a disctinct "pitch" to them.

Hope this helps!

As for the video, here's the link to this specific Thunderbolt sounding. The video titles it as a 1000, but on the map it's titled as a 1000ATSA2

This is a 1000, but the map may be correct in stating that it's a SA2 (Series A2).

Thanks for the links! These help a ton lol.

About the model, again, I'm not entirely sure. I haven't heard the siren sound for myself and can only go off of the video I linked. Unfortunately, the 'bolt only tests as needed, but at least it's still active. I'm unsure of a way to actually hear it test in general, as it would be nice to actually hear that thing roar.
