Midland High School, MI ASC RM-130 Tornado Siren Test 5-1-2010

[ricofojas2011]

why did aca bankrupt?.

[Siren1000T1]

@ricofojas2011 That I don't remember why. They weren't bankrupt for a long time though. I believe it was 1992 when it happened and then the company changed into ASC.

[ricofojas2011]

is it still made?.

[Siren1000T1]

@ricofojas2011 Sadly no. T-128s would be the closest replacement to this or if you want to be more hard core, you can go with a T-135.

We have RM-130s all over the city. Decatur,Illinois. We also have one SD-10 but I do not know if It still there or not. I live in Decatur all my life.

[kentfirealarms]

I live Midland County and all of our RM-130s and T-128s work great. Midland County tests their sirens of the first Saturday of each month at 12:45 PM and a "Growl" test occurs every Saturday at 12:45 PM.

sounds like a 2001 but its a good siren

[TheMikey12561]

I live in Midlan County. As a matter of fact we had a Tornado Warning and was at my friends house who lives just a few miles from Dowtown Midland. This Siren is still up and running but I tell you they have a few nice T-128's as well.

[briggsjos]

Idk about you but i just sounds like another Federal Signal 2001

[birdluver184858]

mine sounds like its talking

[DatMapleLeaf]

MY EARS! Are they trying to warn us fir a tornado or melt our brains and make them come out of our ears. If thats the case they did a pretty good job

[JPa311979]

Nice close-up recording Dan! Today was the first time I noticed this type of siren.

[DasMidnightDrifter]

RM-130... the stepping stone between Penetrator and Tempest?

Cetrainly looks like a strange prequel to the T-128... how many ports?

[Siren1000T1]

@DasMidnightDrifter Every RM-130 is 9 port while the T-128s are 8 port and yes the RM-130 was the stepping stone which is why these are more rare then the RM-127s.

[superjoe87]

@Siren1000T1 Will do. 

[superjoe87]

Great video! It looks like the siren in my town, except it's CD Yellow in color. Not sure if it's ACA or ASC but it sounds good. I'll post a video to compare.

[akaDJMantis]

@Siren1000T1 Good deal. Thanks for the info.

[akaDJMantis]

Never heard of a PN-20 before. It looks like the child of a P-50 and a T-128.  What were the production years and decibal rating for this model?

[Siren1000T1]

@akaDJMantis Correction: The name PN20 was only used when ACA was still the company name before they went broke. After they became ASC, the new name was called RM-130 for this type of siren since it was still in the Penetrator Line until 1998.

[TspesVladD]

@Siren1000T1 , no problem. I know about some PN20s that I can get on film sometime. Hopefully, later this year.

[TspesVladD]

Awsome video. That P-20 sounds great! I'm glad more RM-130/P-20s are on youtube.

[weathermaniac1]

so this was before the introduction of the tempest line?

[Siren1000T1]

@weathermaniac1 You would be correct.

[DL1011]

Nice ASC RM-130!

[ironike11]

Nice PN20 Dan!

[carexpertandy]

Awesome sounding PN20 Dan!

[CoolBalla15]

Awesome sounding P-20, Dan. Was it loud in person?

[EvanToTheFutureDude]

Excellent video, Dan. :)

[lildil39485]

[lildil39485]

[JustInn014]

Nice PN20, Dan. Good to see another Michigan city using ASC sirens.
