Welp, after almost a year, the Sentry 10V2T has now been replaced with a Whelen Vortex R4. As you can see, the Sentry still works, but the Vortex is going to serve them so much better. I went to the test yesterday to see the Sentry go off, but it never did. I would assume the CD&F was being stupid. Anyways, the new siren is up and is working very well. Before you ask, NO, the Sentry 10V2T is not going anywhere. It is staying put just in case they need it. It was replaced because when a tornado came through town last year, power was knocked out to the city thus rendering the siren inoperable. They wanted something with battery backup to alleviate this problem

That's a unique Vortex, CD yellow with a CD logo!
And black mesh, a wonderful choice!
the yellow makes it feel so new. i love it
That yellow looks really nice! It'd be nice to see more "modern" sirens be painted CD yellow
*same*
visit Romeoville, IL. They still have a civil defense chapter, all their sirens are yellow. They have 2001's and 508's that are yellow.
Hawaii to thay have yellow and green sirens
CD yellow...with a "CD" Logo...on the back.
CD Means Civil Defense idk why they painted the siren yellow
Another good installation by Table Rock Alerting Systems!
Never seen a vortex r4 painted yellow before! Also that logo on the back looks like an ACA logo even though it's a Whelen
well where else were they gonna stick it?
CD logo.
That’s not an ACA logo, it’s a Civil Defense logo. Used by the US government during the cold war
@@charlie_nolan I guess it's not just a US logo, in italy our civil defense has a very similar one. The only difference is that it doesn't have "CD" written in it but it's a blank triangle, and "Protezione Civile" written on the outside of the circle. Colors are also inverted, with a blue triangle.
Nuovo oh then maybe it’s a national standard. I just know it’s developed by a government or a standards commission, not a corporation. Interesting
R.I.P Sentry 10V2T
Awesome how so many different cool sounds can come from one siren!
This is the beauty of electronic sirens.
You could even play music on them if you wanted to ^^
@@imaginox9 IKR. That is definitely cool. Only be careful to not play it in the wrong time.
@@imaginox9it will harm a whelen to play music on it
@@imaginox9 because of rotation
Bringin' back the old days with this colour!
It's intriguing because apart from the brief wind down, a few of the signals on the Whelen basically sound like an electromechanical siren, despite it being electronic.
Awesome! Beautiful install.
Sad install tho kinda lol
Oh wow, this Whelen siren looks very nice in yellow with the CD logo !
love that vortex
When the thunderbolt & the whelen colors get mixed
Sean Eaton Videos no
@@blueguycommenteryt7054 yes
no
@@CazicTheProtogen yes
no
That CD Yellow looks great with that black speaker grille!
That's the smoothest Whelen sound ever
Dang this is rare! This is probably the first recording on RUclips with a CD yellow Vortex.
Probably so. We might paint our other Vortexes yellow in the future.
THAT CD YELLOW LOOKS COOL ON THAT VORTEX I LOVE IT
When i make a mini whelen vortex someday, i think I'm probably gonna make it look like this one. This is a NICE paint job for a whelen!
When the 10V2T and Vortex colors get mixed: 4:01
Such an awesome CD paint job! Great video.
Love the CD yellow color of the Whelen Vortex!
From my opinion, sentry sirens are much much louder than electric sirens. They should keep the sentry.
The Vortex R4 is louder than the sentry that it replaced.
I'm glad they chose to solar it
Me too, reliable charging and you don’t have to worry about the wonky power grid screwing something up.
May you rest in peace; Sentry
It’s still hooked up and ready to sound if need be. It’s not going anywhere.
Yeah I know just saying won’t really be used much anymore
@@SWMOWoodsmanyou may say that but there is a chance that within 10 years the old Siren will be gone forever
@stephensnell5707 I am doubtful.
Really nice paint job!
love the yellow
The yellow vortex really looks very, very good. Better than this boring gray. 🤯
Wonder why they always do attack for decommissioning
The paint job is gorgeous. What paint was used? I hope it stands up over time and keeps looking nice. The original finish is a gray-colored resin gel coat, which usually requires light scuffing before painting to get adhesion.
Whelen makes fiberglass sirens, mostly color impregnated.
@@rainyrec most sirens produced nowadays are fiberglass. It's cheaper to make sirens with it, than with aluminum or steel. The 2001 siren series was originally made out of aluminum, before they switched to fiberglass becuase it's cheaper. The 2001-srn I believe is when they started using fiberglass.
@@Keaton0801 but the fabrication is literal metal, it's not tungsten, its aluminum I'm pretty sure
Keaton0801 The 2001 series is and always has been steel. The only siren that is fiberglass is the 508-128.
Good video & what a very nice color. Poor sentry, not sure if it will be reused (I saw a comment saying about it), but what pretty rare whelen siren with the CD (civil defence) symbol.
Cool a 560 hz whoop tone I’ve been looking for
Sentry 10V2T will still be used for a backup.
sentry:yo that's radical
vortex:yea I used cheese
Thunderbolt: bruh
bruh
Imagine if the Whelen Vortex R4 sounded off like a Thunderbolt Siren.
Technically they could, you could use AUX and connect a phone to it and play whatever siren you wanted to
@@minnesotaoutdoorwarningsirens that’s what I like about electronic sirens
Nice paint work!
You barely see sentry sirens get taken down they’d have to be from the 80s when they were introduced that would make sense
Great vid!!
Question what is the difference from a whelen vortex R4 and a whelen WPS 4004?
4004’s can do voice, Vortexes cannot.
@MOStormChaser oh, thanks!
WPS-4004 also came in Analog I believe. Vortex has also option for Finback while WPS-4004 didn't.
@@ScarOne314 All whelen mass notification sirens halted use of analog controllers once the digitital ones were introduced.
The Whelen is 10x louder than the Sentry that the audio became bass boosted!
Next time I go to Missouri I’m recording this! Definitely
It won’t disappoint!! It’s very loud.
Couldn’t they just put a generator on the 10v2t?
That was on the table when we talked with them, but they wanted a refurbished unit with battery backup instead.
the yellow whelen vortex reminds me of a thunderbolt siren
Looks like a silver bird house
I still love the Sentry better.
I never seen whelens vortex are yellow without grey kind before.
I just have to say I really do not like how the rotator box is not painted CD Yellow
This sentry sounds exactly like the Sentry in Milo, Iowa.
Well um why is sentry 10v2t next to whelen vortex
The Sentry was replaced by this Whelen. Please read the description
Why does hi lo sound so HD on whelens sirens
The beginning is literally just the THX intro.
The beginning is actually the old Siren being decommissioned and then the new one being comissioned
That 10 V2 T worked just fine why did they replace it?
Read the description.
CD got their own whelen siren buts yellow
I have a Whelen vortex siren with white but I like the whoop and the hi lo
Whats the logo on the side?
Our company logo
attack{wail} all clear
What will they do with this siren?
Sentry is staying up in case they need it
@@SWMOWoodsman always a good idea to keep it around. Never know if the Whelen will take a shit.
@@Keaton0801 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
ah yes, the good old civil defense color scheme
what happened to the Sentry 10v2t
According to the uploader, it's still there just in case the Whelen fails.
It is still on the water tower and hooked up to power. We removed its radio but added a manual test switch just in case they ever need it.
Wowww
?
Kamu siapa?
Did you see the video of the new cd yellow 4004 in miinesota (i think) and it does european tones
I believe it is in Michigan.
@@SWMOWoodsmanI think so
I wonder why they didn't go with a Sentry 16V1T-B, because that one is the battery backup in the Sentry world.
Mechanical sirens consume a lot of energy. That's why electronic sirens like the Whelen are more suitable for battery backup.
That option was on the table, but due to certain constraints, they decided to go with the Whelen instead.
@@abdullaharif6455 They may consume more energy, but I have heard (pun intended) their sound reaches further than a electronic siren.
Aw, why decommission it? It sounds fine.
^^this^^
Also, the towns power was knocked out by a storm and they couldn’t sound the siren because of it. They wanted battery backup so this is what we came up with.
@SirenTube Do they at least have battery chargers? They shouldn’t die if they are being charged regularly and batteries changed as needed.
@SirenTube A mechanical siren is great. It doesn't need anything except a motor.
Yes, but the Whelen is *much* more efficient. Probably one of the most (if not THE most) efficient warning siren on the market
@@SWMOWoodsman Ah, but there is nothing like the sound of air through a rotor.
Is the Sentry dual-tone?
Yes.
@@SWMOWoodsman 8/16 port, maybe?
@@abdullaharif6455 Yes, 8/16 port.
wow did not see a yellow Whelen before usually, they are grey.
The whelen has ended the sentry 10V2Ts career
Yes
Only if the Whelen won't fail. If it does, the Sentry may temporarily get its career back.
Oh my
Why is the whelen yellow I thought they where gray ????
It was gray once upon a time, but Cruz painted this one shortly before it was installed.
older whelen 3016s like the ones in washington are painted cd yellow
@Yhamil Cruz is Stormsetter4 or Stormsetter.
@Yhamil You'll find more on his youtube channel than me telling you.
Where is the 10v2T now?
Most likely its still there.
Good because that is my favorite brand and type of siren, we also have some 10v2Ts in Belpre serving as fire sirens
It is still there. Still hooked up to power.
@@SWMOWoodsman /\

It's a lot better than the gray
i like the attack
its just like Kandahar's
Lol, is that Whelen trying to impersonate a thunderbolt?
0:04 THX start up
damn thats yellow af
Can you request Whelen do a custom paint job on their Sirens like Federal has done with their Sirens
I don’t think you can. They use fiberglass molds and whatever color they are using now is what you get
@@SWMOWoodsman they look like they are made of steel that is what I thought when I looked at one of my city's Vortexes up close standing near the pole of one
@@garyhisgun4996 Whelen makes sirens out of Fiberglass and uses some metal parts during fabrication.
Collector rings
I call this one ACA vortex
Why though?
@Haisamu Kun ACA wasnt the only company that painted their sirens just yellow. FS painted theirs only yellow, ACA offered colors.
@@rainyrec like yellow 2001 eows modulator and older sirens
FS offered different colors as well. Most of them were yellow though.
More like a FS Thundertex.
Ha! 612 Likes! thats hilarious
that whelen looks like a whelenbolt
Whelens new model: the ThunderWhelen! XD
Replacing old sirens with electronic ones is just a disgusting move
Several factors were taken into place when discussing options for their old siren. In terms of reliability (due to the power grid situation) a battery backup refurbished Whelen was the best choice at the time this was installed.
WHY THE HELL IS IT YELLOW🤮😭😡🤬
Why would you not? Looks super cool tbh.
I used to the Grey ish ones😅🙃
The yellow one looks like a whelen wps 4004
It’s basically the same thing as a Vortex.
BRUH the sentry sounds just like a whelen vortex 465hz tone
Uh, they sound very different from eachother.
They are referring to the overall pitch. They both sound in the pitch of B flat.
attack emergency problems
When a Whelen tries to pass off as a modern day Thunderbolt
And the vortex might be bew
The Vortex is refurbished with a brand new controller.
Look like last one sounds like Siren head
Basically any siren sounds like Siren Head. Siren Head is capable of releasing literally any siren, alert, or, basically sound he wants over the speakers for his head
seems like a esc 2030
2030 based Vortex controller.
A Civil Defense Whelen Vortex!?!?
Yeah, we wanted to try something different.
@@SWMOWoodsman
Too bad that the Sentry 10v2t is being decommissioned.
@@MinecraftPro97k It's not really, it's incase the Whelen goes out they have a backup 10V2T.
@@rainyrec always good to keep an old siren around if it still functions, I say test it once a year during the tornado drill to make sure it still works.
@@Keaton0801 Test it every month, that would be better, because if it goes out and it tests that one year, but doesnt go off, who is gonna know what went wrong?
