Re: CD&F Info and Reverse Engineering Progress!

Oh nice! Is it like this one I saw on ebay? I tried contacting the guy to ask for a large one and offer to pay extra to ensure that/for the hassle but no response. The ones with maxon radios seem luke a much better solution, there were some earlier variants of this kinda that are all analog in the ...

Re: CD&F Info and Reverse Engineering Progress!

I've been waiting for someone to do something like this! Best of luck on it! I've got a large CD&F if you're interested in tackling that. I've got a 1991 Plectron / Federal Signal SC controller I'm trying to get working; I might be interested in some help with reverse engineering the tone filte...

Re: Schaumburg ACA P-50 Came Down Today…

You'd need a genset the size of a car to run one of these. They pull 900 amps at startup on 208 volt 3 phase. On 240 3 phase, it's around 500 amps on startup. On 480 3 phase, it's much less at 200 amps to start the siren. That 50 hp motor is a pig and requires so much energy to start. Good to know!...

I for some reason can't see the images. You may have to upload the images to the post, so they are more likely to be seen!
Shows fine for me

Re: Veetronix Siren Controller

Thanks, exactly what I needed. Now I just need to find an old enough computer to setup on. Only one I have with a serial port is an old laptop that doesn't seem to have enough space to install the Microchip software. Anyway around that or possible to use a USB to serial adapter? I've tried a USB to...

Re: 1986 ACA Alertronic 6000R

Got some more things done! Recently got the parts needed to convert a CD&F to house a Federal Signal FC, as well as a Baofeng UV5R for a receiver unit, and a 120VAC to 5VDC power supply to run said UV5R. There was quite a bit of waiting involved in getting the parts needed for the whole conversi...

Re: Bradshaw, NE's 2001

I contacted the city of Grand Island and now waiting for a response. I'll check back when I have a response. I'm quoting my own thing, but Grand Island said that they only have one siren at the airport. In other words, they didn't even know they had a Fedelcode lol :lol: The city/county doesn't own...

Re: How to remove a siren

I don't think my other post went through, but I'm planning on removing a FEDELCODE near me and I don't know how to do it without a crane. If you guys have an idea as to how, please say because this will be my first big siren. What model of Fedelcode and how's it mounted? If it's a Model 2, chances ...

Re: Veetronix Siren Controller

I have an older veetronix siren controller box that I'm trying to reprogram the tones/timers for the relay board. I have the veetronix software but not the cable. This one doesn't have the usb port on the board, just a 4 pin connector. Does anyone know the pinout for this connector? Thanks!! Yessir...
