  • Type: Federal Signal Thunderbolt 1003
    Signal: Hi-Lo (x2)
    Location: 510 Maple Street, Wapakoneta, Auglaize County, OH
    The crown jewel of the day, this punchy 1003 offered quite the treat for all seven enthusiasts that were there... and then it did it again! This 1003 was easily louder than Harrodsburg, and scores high on my mental "Loudest Thunderbolts" list. After the first cycle, we were unsure as to whether or not it would go again, and we began stalling. Sure enough, our suspicions were correct, and it fired up again to do another round of hi-lo goodness. Enjoy!

      @@Mitch1938 So basically why it’s doing this dumb signal is:
      It’s trying to do attack like the rest of the county does but whoever wired this thing made the flasher go to Hi-Lo instead of temporarily turning off the power. (Which is why Attack is also known as wavering signal, because the siren turns on and off for 8 seconds for 3 minutes in most cases).

      The nearest Thunderbolt to me is 25 minutes north or 25 minutes south. There are two that are jailbar 1000's in Cuyahoga County from 1952 and one red 1000 in Barberton (Summit County) (which is the one in my profile picture) from 1955. Closest dual-toned Thunderbolt to me is an hour away in Ashland.

    Nice! and to anyone reading this i think they wired the timer wrong so the signals are messed up like the attack cam has been wired up to the solenoids and that sort of stuff so probably why its sounds like this. They should check the signal wire connections to the RCM3 from the AF timer to make sure they wired it correctly so it produces the signal they send out.

    Basically the agestat and the FC are in conflict with each other, the agestat is trying to do wailing hi-lo while the fc is in steady hi-lo resulting in this odd signal. Either the agestat is adjusted to the FC's 5on/5off cycle or the FC is adjusted to the agestat's 4on/8off or whatever.

  • @FireRescue80
    @FireRescue80 Před 5 lety +1

    I suppose that this is supposed to be running Alternative Wail since the solenoids would engage and disengage every few seconds. The only issue that I see is why the chopper is not shutting off the moment the solenoids shut off. My guess is that bad wiring are something is seriously messed up with the Augustat. Nice video anyway.

    If steady/alert signal with the solenoids running the entire time is called Hi-Low/ alternate steady, and attack/wail signal With the solenoids running the entire time is called Hi-Low wail/alternate wail, and attack/wail tone with the solenoids briefly being turned off is undulating wail/attack, does that mean this is undulating alert?

    @MidwestSirenProductions Před 5 lety +1

    I have a theory: I think the solenoids are wired to run an attack cycle and the siren itself in alert. I’m not quite sure how that’s accomplished, but I have a hunch that could be why this is so wacky.

    • @SNIXC
      @SNIXC Před 4 lety +1

      It does hi-lo 8 times, then opens both solenoids, its called "wildfire" you'd have to either wire it yourself, or you'd flip the modulate switch on and off, or just specified you wanted it to do that when you ordered it, sadly no one can do that because thunderbolts arent manufactured anymore of course.
