Re: 2001-POS?

Yeah, someone was trying to be obnoxious and called the replacement a POS. Obviously it's not an actual model name.

Re: Massive ATI Replacement in Frisco, TX

ATI bashing is getting old and annoying, which is one of the reasons for Rule 9, along with looking very unprofessional on the main forum. Let's stay on topic.

Another New Lewisville, TX Whelen Vortex Installation

I was out and about this morning and passed by East Hill Park. I was pleasantly surprised to find a brand new Whelen Vortex R4 installation. This is the third known recent addition to the system to fill coverage gaps. There should be another new Vortex installed before the end of the year (if it's n...

Re: Federal Signal 2001 SRNB and 508 Attack The Colony, TX 3-29-17

There actually was an EF-1 tornado that went through Lewisville. I noticed quite a bit of damage this morning during my commute. Mostly downed trees and limbs, however there were a few fences which were blown over and some roof damage on several houses. The worst I saw was a boat storage facility ab...

Re: Very First Thunderbolt Ad

Yep. Rising popularity then decline to end in 1993 when Federal tried their very last trick to modernize the Thunderbolt. With a new rotator, compact blower, compact RCM, and FC radio. Sadly this model failed miserably due to the rising popularity of the 2001, sealing the Thunderbolt's faith sellin...

Re: Thunderbolt Removal - Easiest method

If you cut the pipe too short like Jeff's flange assembly pictures above you will have a hard time removing the inner sleeve pipe to use it on a new piece of 3" schedule 40 conduit as the sleeve pipe that goes into the head is welded inside the original 3" standpipe,plus the flange will b...

Re: Thunderbolt Removal - Easiest method

When I purchased my Thunderbolt, the standpipe was cut about three inches below the mounting flange on the head and about six inches past the frame on the blower assembly. Blower Standpipe Cut.JPG The standpipe is threaded to the blower assembly with an elbow joint. Blower Standpipe Threading.JPG On...

Re: Moving a T-Bolt

Can anyone confirm whether the blower section could be lifted down from the back of a truck with two or three people or is it going to be too heavy? It really depends on what size blower it is. I have an A series 6M blower and had only one other person to help me move it (neither of us could lift a...

Lewisville, TX Whelen Vortex R4 Siren Test

Here is one of the two newest sirens installed in Lewisville. It was installed around March 2016. This siren running the 560Hz tone seems to carry much further than the older R4s running the 465Hz tone. It was definitely impressive. During the test, I noticed that when the siren reaches the point in...
