Worthington Siren Test 

@WilmothWarningsignal Franklin County tests their sirens every Wednesday right at noon. They always run 2 20 second alert cycles with a 40 second pause between. On the first Wednesday of the month they also test the live voice function but you can almost never hear or understand it unless you're right by the siren.

Not to long ago this blared. Scared the hell out of me lol

I love analog controllers

No, this one is at a park on Wilson Bridge Rd. in Worthington right next to the railroad tracks and I-270. However, there are many sirens countywide installed at high schools including Grove City High School on the other side of Columbus. Fed3T22 has a video of the Grove City High School siren.

Looks like it could be capable of more than that...eh, oh well - it still works, and it covers a fairly good distance.

I'm starting to like these Whelen's, but I really hate the abrupt cut off in the wind down.

@thecompanycar oh....and yes you are correct. Within minutes after seeing the 3016 we were on the freeway.

This siren is in McCord Park right on Wilson Bridge Rd. next to the railroad tracks.

They need to get their money back on these.

All E-sirens do that. Some go lower than others, but they all abruptly cut off.

It has a 70dB range of 4,800 ft. which is the range most people use when placing these sirens. I live about 2 1/2 miles from this exact siren and I can still hear it, but I'm not in the effective range.

i am really confused why the fact all sirens in columbus and outside columbus used to be all analogs

It's certainly possible. This one is visible from I-270 on the north side, just east of the 23 exit within the loop. Probably around half or just under half of the sirens in Franklin County are this model. The rest are 4004s with a few Thunderbolts left over (saw one in Gahanna last week that's still up).

cool

I think the wind down would be much better if the siren didnt suddenly stop.

@thecompanycar is this one by cosi? Because on tuesday i went to cosi and i saw a 3016 on the way back to my school.

A 3016 has a rating of 124dB at 100ft. This means that it has a range of about 4,500ft.

When does this siren system test? Im thinking about recording a 3016 or a 4004 sometime soon.

since when do these wind down so far?

I MISS MY SIRATONE!!!! it got replaced with a mod. I never got to see the siratone. my favorite siren and the last one in florida .... ;(

What's the sound rating on the 3016?

There was only one voice because a siren's voice was malfunctioning, right? Also, do 3016s have battery backup?

how old is the siren, the controller signals sound like theyre from 1988

Where is this at in Worthington?

Sounds like a 2001

these are RARE sirens because they have noon blast built in them unlike any other siren that is

is this the one at the high school?

@WilmothWarningsignal I know which one you're talking about. It's right next to Veteran's Memorial off of Broad St. and you'll pass near it getting back on the freeway. The one in this video is in the same system, but it's a good 20+ miles north of downtown.

i have that one by my house but it never talks

I believe it has 10 100W drivers 10 400 watt drivers would be 4000 watts of sound which would probably be like.. iligle lol

I've never liked these sirens before.

lol I live in worthington ohio so I searched Worthington ohio and i got this. Thecompanycar I might know you add me and we'll find out
