Malfunctioning Whelen WPS 2810 Dies In Full Wail - Columbus, GA 5/27/17 

Miss the T-Bolts.....

Quinn Delonge I agree, most of the time, dunno what's happening but they just keep malfunctioning, they need to give it help.

yea, its even more crucial because they don't make these anymore. Whelen stopped making them in 2006.

@@jimmypearce9323 We've got a lot of T-Bolts up here in Upstate NY, amazing sirens

Imdone13 OFFICIAL Where? All I see around here is Whelens. And a FS 2001.

Putting a backup generator on a 3T22 is easier said than done.

Whelen sirens are extremely reliable

7367Network there’s a video of a thunderbolt dying literally 2 seconds after it activated. I’m on the RU-vid app Rn so I can’t link the video but if I remember I’ll post the link

Elizabeth_958 it's been 4 months. Where's the link you promised

Nathan "if i remember"

It ran out of lung capacity

Yes, I’m very familiar with theirs although I don’t think they have many 28 or 2900s

“Forget it, i’m done calling for help at this point.”

that was another siren in attack/alert

No

It went "phhp" and broke.

REPLACE THEM WITH A THUNERBOLT

Katie Case around 6:00

5:59

The 2900 series has smaller screens and and a slightly different internal design compared to the 2800 series. The drivers can be accessed by the EZ-Pull panels on the siren array instead of having to pull the whole thing apart, and the tube inside the cell that connects to the mouth of the driver has a bend in it to increase the voice clarity.

DJ2226 ok, thanks!

Sorry I spelled wrong

why would a siren dieing be part of the test? yes it gave up the speakers were strained and gave out

Nope it kicked the bucket.

Lee U bah dum tss

it's test

Yes, but this thing dies in the middle of the attack signal. It’s just awful.

gubblethrip Yes it has in fact... If you come to Columbus OH XD.

team 13 this is actually that same siren

What is with your spelling my dude

Uhhhhh, someone fetch me the Rosetta Stone, this guy's speaking hieroglyphics.

You hear this guy Whelen?! Give your sirens a much needed software update!

America needs 2001 130s, Model 2s, all of the mechanical sirens you got, Federal!

That's nonsense. Mechanical sirens are far more temperamental by design. The fact is that many counties assume electronic sirens don't require maintenance when they purchase them. With proper maintenance, they last just as long as any mechanical siren.

But they're not as loud, compare a Whelen Vortex to a P50

Lima Railfan Productions By the way nice Profile Picture

malfunctioning*

No. A new controller wouldn't make a difference. It's a combination of probably dying batteries and radio issues.

Albert .J I was thinking the same

IKR!

They so as they will also be prone to severe thunderstorms and tornadoes
