Other Notes:
So of the 4 years I've been recording sirens, I've yet to hear a 16V1T-B. Being one of Sentry's more popular sirens, I figured I should hear one. This is one of the handful of 16Vs in the State of Ohio is only 20 minutes down I-71. Medina County tested at 12:01, which isn't common as they usually go right at noon. You can hear Seville's SRNB at the old FD on Spring St (which replaced an M-10). When it was 12:03 I knew they forgot, so I decided to call. I was very nervous nobody would answer, as 99% no one is there. I had called numerous times before I arrived to no avail. Fortunately the fire chief picked up the phone, and said he'd set them off in a moment. About 10 seconds later it winds up in what we though would be the typical 3 minute attack. Instead we were surprised to get a 2 minute Alert! As I was walking back to my camera trying to figure out why it did Alert and not Attack, it winds back up and does a full 3 minute attack! I wasn't expecting it, but was glad I was still recording. Overall it was a pretty solid test. It wasn't as loud as I was expecting, but sure did pack a punch. I'm assuming this was a one time thing and just a malfunction but if not, I'll be back for sure! Enjoy!
Westfield has a system of 4 16V1T-Bs (which replaced an SRNB behind the old FD) and 2 Modulator 3012s at the country club. Those supposedly are lighting sirens for the golf course. They claim they go First Wednesday, but they never went off.
