These were installed in the late 80s-early 90s
No way they're that old...

Considering they look like 2700s to my eyes, yes, they're that old.

The WPS-2700 series was sold between 1988 and somewhere around 1993 or early 1994 before being phased out for the 2800 series. I think these might be later units considering that have four supports holding each cell together VS the 6 seen on some of the very early models made around the launch of the series in '88. They should have analog ESC-864 controls if they haven't been upgraded.

What the heck. This system is a ghost system. Dallas Emergency Management knows nothing about it and they say the water utilities own it. I call them they have no idea it even exists here is the location for the sirens. just paste it in google maps.
Location 32.869497, -96.827551
Location 32.858637, -96.844229

If anyone lives near one take a picture of the label on it and email it to me ([email protected])
or if anyone knows anything about this or has time to call everywhere and ask them. if you find out email me ([email protected])
Looks to be some old Whelen 2700's I better get a closer look at this :geek:

Alright, here’s what I know.
The system consists of five 2750s, at these locations:
(32.8693507, -96.8277186)
(32.8586261, -96.8442005)
(32.6856156, -96.8081472)
(32.7420735, -96.7839446)
(32.7392131, -96.7525202)

They are tested every six months, the last test was October 24, 2018, and the next test is in the first week of April.

As sad as it is, I have discovered as of 7-13-2020 all 5 2750's have been removed. :(
