Whelen vortex

[ricofojas2011]

hahaha i couldnt hear u say a badword

[braydentipton]

love it!!!!!!!!!!!!

in belle missori we have the same one.

[Xeadin101]

This one had a wind-up. Most electronic sirens have a brief wind-up to grab the attention of others nearby-- and it certainly got your attention ;)

But I do agree-- I wouldn't want to be near that thing when it goes off lol

[Howcast26]

LOL! Starts up a little funny!!

*EXITS FULLSCREEN MODE*

*LOOKS AT RATINGS*

Oh great,some ATI fan(s), wooh (Sarcastic)...

*WATCHES MORE VIDEOS*

[beanstravels2]

[BOBBYW150]

I am working on a homemade siren called Warren 2010 b1 or u could call it a Warren b1 i'll have the audio on in a few days it has two different wail tones a voice and a whoop tone

[JPa311979]

I like how it changes direction when it rotates!

[Nelso90]

Hey, yeah, I was in Duluth that day. Came down from Rice Lake Twp, up on the hill to visit a friend, and 1PM rolled around, I heard that, and I was like WTF? Then I realized Duluth had their new system up and running! They used to only have a couple of model 2's if I remember right.

[TspesVladD]

Awesome video of that whelen. This is the first time you've taped one. I can see how that would have startled you.

[CoolBalla15]

Awesome sounding Whelen 4004! :)

[green0900]

@CoolBalla15 No it's a VORTEXR4 You can tell by the Rotor

[kdksiren]

Wow! When it came on, the snow fell off. Nice recording!!

[WindowsFan1]

@kdksiren i acutually made snow fall lol

[garyhstorms09]

Never knew Duluth MN had istalled a system of Whelen Sirens

i heard these sirens replaced the older Federal Signal Sirens did Duluth MN had a mix of Thunderbolts 2T22s and model 5s

before they overhualed the system

[LNERMallard]

@garyhstorms09 No, they only had a crapload of Model 2s and Thunderbeams.

[carexpertandy]

Great job filming! Is this a Vortex R or a 4000?

[thecompanycar]

This would be a Vortex. The rotator gives it away.

[carexpertandy]

its hard to see that thing sticking out from the rotator at this angle

[thecompanycar]

Another good way to tell is by where the conduit runs into the rotator. If it runs in a rounded notch in the middle of the narrower side of the rotator housing, it's a Vortex. If it runs in a more square notch on the wider side of the rotator housing, it's a 4000 series. That's the other way I use to identify it by looking at the siren head.

[setsukun]

XD @ beginning.

[bethatonegirl]

They sound like thunderbolt 1000's

[EvanToTheFutureDude]

Great sounding Whelen 4004!
