Federal Thunderbolt 1003, Short Hi-Lo & 3 Minute of Hi-Lo - Silverstreet, SC 7/13/13 (FULL HD)

*IMPORTANT UPDATE 05/28/2023: This siren was removed and was taken to the repair shop for repairs to the siren. The chopper motor is dead. County plans to reinstall this siren by spring 2024. I repeat, this siren will be reinstalled and put back in service next year.*
I do not make any money from my videos I post on my CZcams channel.
Recorded on July 13, 2013. This is a "weekly full test" of the Newberry County Warning Siren System. This siren was tested every Saturday at 12:00PM (siren is now tested at the last Saturday of every month at noon). If you are wondering why I missed the windup on 0:55, it's because I didn't expect this siren to do another test. I only missed 10 seconds of hi-lo (fire) signal. I decided to re-record this test because I wanted to make a full HD video of this siren. This siren was installed in 1963 and is still in service more than 50 years today. This siren is used for tornado watches, tornado warnings, and other emergencies. (Alert; Tornado watch; Attack (Take Cover); Tornado Warning; Hi-Lo; Weekly Test)
When this siren starts to wind down on 0:30. The blower, rotator, and solenoid boxes cuts off too soon and then it starts back up again because the Agastat delay relay in the RCM1 has started to go bad, making it stick at first which shuts off the blower and rotator and solenoid boxes, then suddenly it drops back in for the delay and they come back on for the 8 seconds it's supposed to delay.
During the second test of hi-lo (fire) signal.
This siren is located in Silverstreet, SC at Silverstreet fire department off of Main street near to a park.
