1003 Signal Test With AF Timer RCM3 and RCM1A No Blower

- Here's a test of all the signals on the 1003 I got from Arkansas in August 2010. AF timer, RCM3 and RCM1A are hooked up. The timer doesn't have a fire cam in it so it would run a steady hi-lo signal for three minutes. One solenoid is a bit buzzier than the other when operating. Not sure why that is. Oh, also there is a towel stuffed into the horn.

@NicksGarageDoor The AF timer is turning on the RCM3, the RCM3 is turning on the RCM1.
With the fire cam removed it will do a 3 minute Alert Hi-Lo signal.
Hello I have watched your channel all my life and am yet to own a siren myself I always thought that the 1003 was the absolute coolest one.
AWSOME!!!
Such beautiful machines
Machine not thunderbolt 1003
Its a siren not a machine
1:05 the siren's chair wabbles
its a pallet not a chair
NOT THE THRONE
AN AWESOME THUNDERBOLT SIREN!!!
The man is testing his sound
@vanamonde2 Ok it looks like a nice one, even.
Running that in your garage is anything but a good idea it you want to keep your hearing.
Well I don't want to keep my hearing...
@joewars66 No way. I've painted enough of these stupid things. I only do it now if I absolutely have to.
A thunderbolt 1003 hi lo with no blower all chopper levels please.
if we do need to paint, can you please recommend what specific kind of paint/primer etc to use? if there's rust do you sand first/sandblast? much appreciated I love your channel and website!!!
For RAP, need this to be played!
I want already this thunderbolt siren
@vanamonde2 Ok it looks like a nice one, even. It runs good.
old tornado sirens are 1000000000000000000000% loud
use one as my alarm clock
I’d still manage to sleep through it
Same
Where can I get one?
I hear that there is a guy who makes his own mini sirens, and he has a youtube channel. I forgot the name. I've been looking for him though.
Man those solenoids sure are loud without the blower!
You think those solenoids make hi-lo?
they do?
you own the siren you should know@@justanormalfurcorn
Buzz on the solenoid
It stinks that you have to get rid of it. It's a nice ThunderBolt :) So is just the blower AC three phase?
My guess is that this is a single phase model as the rotator can be single or three phase.
When a thunderbolt says its an 'A' series that means the Rotator and the Blower are three phase. the chopper will stay single phase indefinitely. I haven't heard of a three phase universal motor before XD
While the blower may be single phase- what comes with single phase, comes with many many amps!
DON'T get rid of it!
Can you make it do pulse?
OHHHHHH the solenoids
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Where do you buy it?
Sounds good. I was waiting for it to fall over, that tings bouncy as hell lol. Is this the first time you've ran it using the solenoids? One of mine was like that but after running it for a while it has quieted down

Can Santa Claus get one of these to my house? He can leave it on the roof.
If you haven't been naughty he might.
Just tell him not to mistake it for a modulator
Same with me!!!
Lol that statement accurately portrayed me as a siren kiddie a few years ago
@@kyleb06 what it's what my parents told me
Have you ever tried placing a 4/5 port chopper in a Thunderbolt 1003? I have only heard it simulated, never in real life or an actual video of one.
JPa311979 here is a video of a 4/5 port 1003 czcams.com/video/qoiylLGjLWI/video.html
@@SouthCarolinaSirens cool
If I put this on my car... louder than a train horn!
I have one that's new never used.
U might have one, but I'm pretty sure that it's been used.
On hi lo the solenoids click, mine does that too
PixelKittenz
Erin Stephany what?
tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock
Dear santa
is for only fire signal
i do not understand how they make the actual sound. i do live in kansas and hear these all of the time ,but just dont understand where the sound and volume come from.

The way these work is:
You have a disc attached to a motor. The disc has blades that force air outwards. The disc goes inside a big cylinder with slots, so as the disc rotates the air can go out, then it can’t, then it can, then it can’t. This makes the tone. This siren uses a big blower, or fan to force air out of the slots. The more slots, the higher the tone. Those little sticks coming out the base of the horn are little metal sliders that block the flow of air out of the slots. You can open one and get a high note, then close the other for a low note. That’s what that *Kachunk. Kachunk* you hear is.
Hope that helps!
pulsating air
Wichita KS has them but they are getting removed one by one 😔😔😔😔
Nicolas Boswell Thank you; the more you know, the better!
chaseme81871 they have a chopper
How come there's a towel in the horn
To prevent going deaf
1:05
How loud are they without the blower?
Idk, prob 82.21 DB?
Current signal: alert and hi-lo
1:09 high low
this is earrap when you turn your phone or tablet to 100% volume
Is this 5/6 port? Cuz it sounds like it is.
Yes
Federal Signals: Alert and attack and hi lo
Its sound looks like 2t22
What hi lo
i have my Homemade thunderbolt with the blower
Fred Borja I doubt it.
It’s just a radio?
Ivy Besmonte idk
No, Chopper on the inside of the horn that makes the noise it's not a speaker has a chopper inside the horn with a rotator that spins the siren there's a blower that will blow the chopper to spin it faster
@@sirensandrailroadsofoklahoma you are so wrong the blower dosent make the chopper spin faster it pushes air to make it louder and it slows down the chopper, not speed it up
Kinda looks like a thunderbolt
...it is...
If it looks like a thunderbolt and sounds like a thunderbolt then 9 times out of 10 IT'S A THUNDERBOLT!🌪️📢👍
Jerry Smith it is a thunderbolt

I have one
PixelKittenz I wish I had a Thunderbolt siren. They're so cool.
Paint that poor thing.
Already painted in yellow
What did your neighbors say when they heard the siren?
Didn't hear it. Never do.
@@vanamonde2 How? How do you do that and not have them hear?
@@hrdknox2000 it's not that loud. The garage door was closed. They are shut up in their houses with their ac on. I guess if they were out in the alley behind our house they would hear it.
why is there a blanket in the siren did anyone else notice
To mute it. It's a towel.
Oh so if I the towel was not in then everything will shatter due to noise
No it just cuts it down a bit.
0:11 growl
Agreed
Note: YOUR 1003 IS ALL MESSED UP
How?
0:27 why do I see a paper LOL
C# and A# chord
AWSOME!!!
