If you are talking about the cable that is just below the siren, that is the electric service cable. That is the same type of cable that runs from your electric service provider's transformer to your house, the major difference being that this one is three phase. This cable is always energized unless the power is out or it is disconnected. That means that the siren is powered when the control panel activates it. I would assume that the controls are activated at the pole (possibly radio though...) since the video says the siren is privately owned and operated for a small trailer park by a SKYWARN storm spotter for the NWS.Federal Signal fan wrote:A neat small community, isn't it? It appears the supposed telephone wire is used to activate it? Also, does the siren get signals or electricity from the wire, for it would be quite not the best thing to go and send off each siren individually, and time consuming. That is what I would call "Favorite Worthy", I added it to my favorites. I always loved Penetrator series sirens, and you've recorded quite the model...
Thank you for taking the time, and sharing it with us.
Sincerely,
Joshua
EDIT REASON: I spelt "of" instead of "off"...
