EOWS 612 Alert and Attack

[mbrstooge]

My hometown of Irving, TX has both the EOWS-612 and 2001 sirens (and I'm sandwiched between the 2 where I'm at). The biggest laugh: during a recent tornado warning issued, the 612s lasted longer than the 2001s in a solid 15-minute run.

[MovieMaker5087]

@killerkiwi369 At 1:50 is the attack siren. The siren before that is the alert one.

[thetick531]

AAAH MY BRAIN IS MELTING!

[tornadodylan]

It's weird how it cuts off the wind-down.

Also I put too many comments on this video :P

[tornadodylan]

World's most epic alarm clock :P

[kaiyan246]

>.< whatever you do siren makers dont make that go off near my home! (im not american nor live there just saying) THIS HURTS MY EARS

[firepipernickb]

this is way better than a 2001

[Droideka133]

ANY siren is better than the 2001, And they didn't HAVE to replace it, there is something called DRIVER REPLACEMENT . They can use much louder drivers instead of replacing it.

[tornadodylan]

sooo... loud... must DIE! (kidding)

[tornadodylan]

either get a tri-pod or hold the camera still (not to be rude(in a way i am))

[superguy60073]

at 0:55 the wind downs sound like a thunderbolt1000t/1003 winding down from chopper setting 7

[wawa1196]

eows 612's are better then the stupid 2001SRN's

[trainlova12]

why did the FD look at u like you were retarded?

[form109]

it sounds like a Thunderbolt with a Helium Hose Being Fed to the Blower....

[SgtSavage166]

Interesting, when it does attack it doesn't keep spinning. Seems like it gets told to do alert and then cancel and alert again.

[drago0nslayer]

we have an old one that looks just like this right up the road from my house right above the old fire station.....yet again where i live in ohio they dont believe in upgrading

[Droideka133]

this 612 is so high pitched, that it sounds like a DSA siren.

[shybabe1990]

mom!!! the lego in the sky is sounding again!!! lol nice siren :)

[e57pascal]

i <3 ewos 612

[rnbsteenstar]

Me too!

[hrdtw]

why the loud ones and omni alert cant do much more

[rnbsteenstar]

Well, the 612 is still built on special request as well as maintainece parts for the special request 612.

[TspesVladD]

That absolutely stinks that tthey replaced this siren. I can understand the two other 612s. One seemed to have pitch problems, even though it still sounded good, and the other sounded really bad. But this one was a perfectly good one.

[Tommy3stars]

these are all being phased out to do to age ....and they cannot replace parts for them easily anymore bc they are no longer in production..

[hootergirlsrhot]

sounds like my wife

[001jellybee]

loud siren but no longer there anymore

[TspesVladD]

This is one of the nicer siratone 612s on youtube. It stinks that they're replacing it. Did they just throw it out, or did they give it to another town?

[promopal]

is this a Siratone 1212 ????

[crazywarriorman]

Siratone/EOWS - 612. The 1212 is the omnidirectional version.

[Johnporter271]

Why are they replacing these sirens? I wouldn't like it if in my town they just replaced the siren for no good reason.

[Johnporter271]

cool attack mode. Very clear alert, you can also faintly hear some sirens in the distance between modes.

[JRCollinsfan]

Sounds abit like a *t22

[dwronan12]

wow this EOWS was rater close to the ground how high up is it ?

[sirenfreek]

I'd say at least 20ft

[thecompanycar]

No that's higher than 20ft. It's at least 40 I'd say. Most high output directional sirens are installed between 40 and 50ft.

[Tabby266]

@sirenfreek That is WAYYYY to far down.

[bulldozer950]

@sirenfreek where is this siren located?

[mummygirl305]

loud

[Jpressman8]

612 and 1212 Best sounding electronic sirens made.They actually still sound like a siren with a hint of Thunderbolt on the wind down. Great video!!!!!!!

[cauberallies]

What an awesome sounding siren. Federal really did it right when they decided to make an electronic.

[FoamPackingPeanuts]

The problem is that these sirens are discontinued :(

[THEFINALHAZARD]

No actually they're not, you have to special order them from Fed-sig.

[FoamPackingPeanuts]

Only the siren, not the nice stuff like the chime module.

[crazywarriorman]

Most people who special order these use the Modulator control boxes.

[j0todingkulla]

is there eows 612 in high low????

[KBilt92]

Yes. EOWS sirens can do two high-low tones. They call them "alternate steady" and "alternate wail".

[sirenfreek]

wish ours did!

[zozey1231]

alternate wail = o_o

That tone freaks me out.

[Siren1000T1]

If you go to my channel, go into my videos and click on the last number then it will have a video of an EOWS-612 running in Alternate Wail.

[sickVoDKa]

Ever since I found that video many months back I have been listening to it everyday.Sirens are pretty much music to my ears.

[davidlee110]

fs2001's is the best

[EvanToTheFutureDude]

Good video! I get weird looks from people like im crazy when i film videos of sirens too.

[zozey1231]

612's suck!

[Siren1000T1]

612's kicks ass!

[EvanToTheFutureDude]

You got that right!

[DigitalEagleInc]

I dont like how it stops on the wind down takes too long to cover the area.

[DigitalEagleInc]

I get that "This Guy Is Weird" look all the time, it don't phaze me anymore...I remember after 9/11, i went on a siren hunt & a sherriff made me delete my pic his his town siren.

[buickregal82]

i kno wat u mean about people thinkin ur retarted for recording these going off its an interest people used to ride by and blow they're horn at me and 612's r far more interesting then a 2001 they're just boring

[bctrainers]

Mind typing that again in good English? I gave up after you began slurring words for their actual term.

[Flamingopink86]

does anyone know if they have these in Minnesota and if so tell me where?

[SP99]

I'm not a fan of the electronic sirens, but this one sounds pretty good. If I had to have an electronic, this would be the model!

[Siren1000T]

I have one about a mile and a half away from my house and it does an alternate wail. I have a video of it on YouTube. Check it out if you have not seen it yet. Its really cool.

[snootzie78]

Do they still make these sirens?

[sirenfreek]

from what i know of the dont they now make the 2001's and modulators

[Siren1000T]

They DO still make this siren but only for special request.

[poppinoncrackvideos]

@Siren1000T Really? How interesting!

[rykember11]

@Siren1000T They'll make anything if you pay them enough.

[buickregal82]

they probably make replacement ones at least the driver/speaker part

[SgtSavage166]

@snootzie78 They make them on-demand now, I think. The new ones come with the UltraVoice controllers.

[carexpertandy]

Also, when it stops rotating whenever it winds down in attack, is that because the county keeps turning alert on and off?

[sirenfreek]

idk some sirens just do that i have seen thunderbolts that do the same thing

[carexpertandy]

Are you referring to sirenzrok's video?

[carexpertandy]

What's a 2800?

[DigitalEagleInc]

I get that look like I'm crazy from people too, love the dual tone sound.

[CaptainElevator42189]

So that's why, maybe the speakers blew out, and with mechanical sirens, the motors don't blow out much.

[sirenfreek]

i have seen on a few tests that they either don't rotate or no sound is present. I think they are getting to their 20yr warrenty

[CaptainElevator42189]

Those sirens don't look that old, so I wonder why they're being replaced.

[buickregal82]

great vid when are these tested?

[sirenfreek]

every first wed of the month@ 1pm

[Siren1000T]

Very Awesome! EOWS-612s are one of my faverates.

[CoolBalla15]

Great video of the EOWS 612!

[sirenfreek]

thanks, now that my ear drums are back to normal

[CoolBalla15]

You should try getting some ear plugs or ear muffs. That way your ear drums won't hurt. If you can't find any in stores, try eBay. :)

[sirenfreek]

lol thanks for the advice I will remember that next time!!

[CoolBalla15]

No problem. ;)

[kdksiren]

Do all EOWS sirens stop turning on wind down? Just curious as we have never seen one of these in person. Just on videos. Great Vid!

[sirenfreek]

from what I have seen they do
