Rockwall Texas American Signal AL-8000 Electronic Siren

Here's the July, 15 2009 2pm test of an American Signal AL-8000 Alertronic siren in Rockwall Texas. Not the most exciting siren video but it was the first time I had ever heard an Am Sig electronic siren. The Rockwall P-50 is next. :-)

They may actually be available in dual tone still. I noticed in the iForce manual (which uses the same control and tone generator) that it says under "System Options" that it says "l. Tone Selection S/T - D/T." I think it's possible that S/T means single tone and D/T means dual tone. It's just speculation but one can hope. And it's not like ASC can't make them dual toned.

Very nice video. That Alertronic sounds pretty nice, I'd say.

They use a ratio of 6/7 for dual-tone. The older ones uses that same ratio.

The Coolest part is when the truck drove by, changing the pitch of the siren for a second, weird but cool.

Awesome video of that AL-8000!

Sounds nice! Must be an older one since as far as I know they don't have the Allertronics available in dual tone anymore. The only thing that I don't like about the later Allertronics (like this one) is that they have no wind down like the first gen ones did.
