If you ever are in the Northeast side of Cedar Rapids near Kenwood Elementary School, could you send me a picture of the siren that is located at that school. I went to that school in my early childhood (almost 20 years ago) and I remember the Thunderbolt they had there. I heard that the DAEC Thunderbolts have been replaced (I think because NRC now requires battery backup in Nuke Plant sirens). Vermont Yankee and Pilgrim had to replace all of their sirens to comply the new battery requirement.
This sounds better than the modern controllers
The wind up was quicker than usual
Andy A its running and 864 probably by now its been replace with a 2030 or 2035
DAEC was a good system, it was my favorite
im being honest here, i like the sound on these than the ones with the esc 3030 or 2030 controllers.
I have never heard a Whelen that sounds like this
It's The ESC-864 Controller in single tone.Search it up
it has an ESC-864 Analog Controler on single tone setting.
That's an ESC-864 controller they are using on this siren.
The attack sounds like a pre-864 controller.
Because they have the same tone?
They Using the old Whelen Controller?
Marion IA?

That siren is long gone
I think the siren got moved to the back of the school when they installed the Whelen. You’re probably talking about the T-bolt.
@@IAhawkeye1983 Yeah the T-bolt is long gone
OOh a 490hz ESC 864 (Analog)
analog is best
