2 SIGNAL DIVISION Federal Signal Corporation Thunderbolt Vid

Mon Mar 09, 2009 4:18 am

This is the results from Saturdays test (It ayswas 15 minuts late)

West end SIGNAL DIVISION Federal Signal Corporation Thunderbolt 1003
Sorry for no vid cause the old HD camera was not compatable so I only got the audio.

I placed this guy on a power subjuction & left it there.

East end SIGNAL DIVISION Federal Signal Corporation Thunderbolt 1003
I recorded this one from 409 yeards away, literally on the Stateline between Minnnesota & South Dakota.

Mr. Thompson was there attempting to record the new 2001*130 but both of his camera's batteries died.

After the test, we (Mr. Thompson & I) talked for a bit, & since it was near 12:00 PM (CDT) we attempted to record the 2001*130's daily activation.
I didn't go off.
The 2001*130 was simply put on the old 3T22's pole which must have been at least 30 feet off of the ground THATS LOW

Well I ended up spending the rest of the day with Mr. Thompson & arround 1-2 in the afternoon the sirens were activated again by accident, we were driving to my car & we heard the sirens sound.

Boy what a day
Enjoy
(P.S. Im going back next month armed with new new JVC Everio S Digital Camcorders to get the 2001*130, & both 1003's :P)

DerekT has a video somewhere of a Thunderbolt programmed to hi-lo with attack somewhere on youtube. Sounds just about the same as this. And yes, that's quite the racket of noise... :P

When it goes out of hi-lo the tone deepens, unless I am just hearing things? Letting off more air pressure from the pipe/blower i take it. I think it's a good attention getter with those two alert types going off at once.

Its not doing High-Low wail, its supposed to be doing only the Steady High-Low (Fire) Signal like the other one but the flasher is partly to blame, the whole thing is out of whack *& the city won't let him fix it.

They say that "as long as it makes noise, its fine"

Thanks Jason, I really can't think straight, with the time change, & me starting to get a cold.

But on my East End 1003, you have to admit I got a the Fade In/Fade Out effect really good. :D
