Federal 2001-SRNB in Brentwood @ Holly Tree Gap Rd. (Failed)

[dockwellian45]

Is that siren mounted on a concrete pole?

[rhett443]

When they do silent tests they still send out tones so this was probably a silent test

[stormsirens2]

I heard beeping simular to that when I took my video of my neighborhood 2001 but is sound like this: boooo-u-beeeeeep then a click the rotator and so on

[blackdeath46]

why do you report it to the fire department? Ours are controlled by our sherrif department which my moms boyfriend works at (He's a sergant). I want to go and see how the thing is for them

[jseabo77]

It's reported to the fire department or EMA because they have certain tones to set it off

[EvanToTheFutureDude]

These sound more like scanner tones then error tones. Just because a siren doesnt test doesnt mean it isnt working. Most sirens are usually connected to a city/county system.

[remadog]

The noise you hear at 1:56 is the Federal Signal SCADA audio coming from the M1225 radio in the control cabinet. There are 2 reasons for the siren not to activate here. Either they are just polling the system at which the siren responds back saying " I am ok and online " or the siren failed. Then it would report back to the base telling them that it had a problem. The siren reports , correct activation, main motor current fail, rotator current fail, local activation, power fail and intrusion.

[jayhawk29]

Perhaps the tones are it sending a report that is failed to sound.

[bait28]

well, i didn't hear any other sirens. my city sirens actually failed. 3 times in a row. finally i yelled at them. went to the ema office 1 hour before the monthly test and to them to use all of the activation tones. not just the new ones for the 2001's. what do you know. they sounded.

[Antipwnsurmum]

I saw a little bit of smoke coming from the siren head after the contactor activated. Then those failure tones.

Think it's a chopper motor down.

[soccerdude7330]

I seen what you are talking about, but that smoke looking stuff was actually a spider's web. Haha

[Antipwnsurmum]

I blame your camera! :P It honestly looks like smoke, what with it being perfectly timed and all

[EvanToTheFutureDude]

It could be recieveing tones from its wireless reciver and i dont think they are Electronic siren DTMF tones. This just must be:

UPDATE------ ERROR

F.D sends Siren says

Maybe?? I dont know. I just know that electornic sirens get DTMF tones from EMA or FD or Police office. They send Alert, the siren does alert. But,how about this, everytime when the sirens test, a EMA worker should drive around the sirens, if it doesnt go, they should test manually.

[EvanToTheFutureDude]

Jeez, how do you film so many sirens in one day? Great vid, Charlie. Too bad it didnt go off.

[markzins]

i think there was a humming noise a click and it stopped it might be a motor on the siren was jammed and the tones wher the DTMF tones used to communicate w/ the siren and since it failed the siren was telling the main controller that something is wrong im pretty sure thats what happened

[hannahbeeandme]

what do u use to edit ur videos?

[jamesoncalebbrandon]

wonder whats happening to the 2001's not having much luck

[TJE4210]

I see what you mean. A good share of the sirens in my co. are 2001s and they fail often. Actually, the system failed yesterday during the test. NONE of the 119 county sirens worked

[EvanToTheFutureDude]

Yeah, in Brookpark, the monthly test in January failed, all of them in Cuyahoga County failed. Freaky! It wasnt even cold.

[TJE4210]

That's happend here in Lucas County a good few times. I only got 2 chances this summer to record the sirens, the first time, the system failed. the next chance is comming up.

[bait28]

in our city i felt lonley. all 19 of our 2001's failed and my storm alert 1001 is the only one to sound for 3 tests.

[TJE4210]

That sucks. Today was my countys siren test, the siren I chose was the only one in the county that failed to sound.. it really sucks. Well, try again in June!

[bait28]

that sucks

[starlite528]

when are the tones supposed to be heard? I heard some bird making noise and shaking the power cable towards the end of the vid.

[soccerdude7330]

In the 2nd part of the video. Listen carefully, turn your volume all the way up

[CIAAGENT100]

1:56 - 2:10 is when I heard them....

[frisko7945]

when

[carexpertandy]

That's too bad it didn't go off. The siren itself looks great though!

[lildil39485]

[soccerdude7330]

[lildil39485]
