University of New Orleans Emergency Siren Test 1/18/2008

The University of New Orleans has installed an Emergency Siren to work concurrently with a text-messaging service to alert all students in case of emergency. Apparently the text-messaging service had very low enrollment so it was decided that a 135 dB noisemaking device would be more effective at alerting people.

Specs:

I am correcting myself by clearly writing down the specs here, during the video I pulled them out of my head:

American Signal Corporation Tempest T-135 Siren running on a CSC-960 II encoder from the same company.

The signal format, Air raid/attack:

740 Hz Tone, ramping up and down, :06 up and :05 down for 3 minutes

[wesbizket2002]

if you wana see a t-135 siren then type t-135 siren on youtube

[rationalpsychedelia]

if you want to confirm it to me, as I asked, I will change it. If you want to be a smart-ass about it, there will be no change.

I beg to differ with the no tornado remark. I live up town and lost half of my house feb 13th of last year to an EF-2 tornado.

[rationalpsychedelia]

and I am familiar with that, however this area is no tornado alley and that was my point. You got hit by freak weather, would you install a 30 thousand dollar tornado-safe shelter under your house in New Orleans?  Please come tell me

Thanks for videoing this siren and for your commentary. Could we actually see the siren?

I never found it.

They may have tornadoes for which it could be useful.

But I also think it is a waste of money.

IT is too a T-35 AC/DC just it looks and sounds like a T-128

[narutodude446]

This version is the T-135 AC-DC

[CaptainElevator42189]

This is basically a larger version of the T-128, and a lot louder.
