This thing takes longer to wind down and come to a complete stop. Aca, Sentry, Federal signal other models than this, and asc sirens take a little bit shorter time to wind down. Plus why is there a spinning disc inside the siren?
I recently bought one of these. It sounds great, but the wiring is very sketchy. I’m going to try to restore it (the repaint is flaking off the “body” and brass bell/horn). I wanted to use a heavy gauge wire or cable cut from an extension cord. Do you have a wiring diagram that shows how it should be wired?
Mr.Someone \Tom/ if you were standing outside the cage if it stopped the Signal i would think it would feel weird to touch the disk as it vibrates to produce sound
The disk isn't what makes the sound though, it is a reflector for sound which also rotates using the chopper (the thing that makes the sound) which is in the little compartment inbetween the motor and the top of the case
A fan, called the chopper spins at a high speed. The chopper is also cover by something called the stater. The faster the chopper spins, the higher the pitch
@jonmichaelllosinger It's an extension cord. The sound is produced by a steel diaphragm with a rivet in the center being struck repeatedly by the teeth of a rotating cogwheel which in this case is driven by an electric motor
sounds like those whistle lips that you give kids for easter. probably because that's what it is, just... bigger... and made of metal... and it doesn't look like a pair of plastic lips...
