I know lots of people are arguing about what exactly is the matter with the siren. The solenoids seem to be wired to the motor contacter, meaning the dampers shut when power is applied to the motor, and open when power is cut. TrainsAndSirens1 The motor, even with brush angle tampered with, would not run this fast with the dampers open. The *clunk* sound before it starts (in case you don't know) is the dampers shutting, and they don't open up until the siren winds down. If the rotors don't get air, they have no load. Since the load on the motor is less, it runs faster. In the case of this siren (where nearly all the load is removed) the motor spins much faster than intended, which will inevitably lead to an early death of the motor when the brushes turn to dust or the bearings can no longer take the extra speed. Just in case you're wondering, this siren does test in Attack, albeit on an unusual schedule. They only test Attack during a certain chunk of the year, that chunk is constantly changing.
Research. Lots of research. For 3 years, I learned more and more about sirens. Despite that, there's still a lot I don't know. I'm not so much into sirens now as I used to be, so I haven't bothered to do more research on what I have yet to learn.
Bruh just fix it. Many people cost much money just to replace things/sirens. But how if the siren can fixed? If the siren cannot fixed, just keep the siren on there or replace the broken parts. Easy, right? Save money.
It seems as if it was wired in the same style as a Klaxon CS8 but instead of the solenoids opening the dampers such as on the CS8 (as they are spring-loaded to close) they are activated to close the dampers
I bet I know what's going on. Did you hear the clank right before the siren started? That was both of the dampers closing. And they stayed closed throughout the test. Causing there to be little air incoming into the intake tubes. And with less air resistance, the choppers spin faster. Which causes the pitch to be raised. And with less air, the siren isn't as loud as it is supposed to be. The solenoid's relays in the controls must have shorted out somehow. Best get that checked out.
@@deq_syd Nope. Still 10/12 port. Both dampers were wired to close. Making less room for air intake to come in and push air out of the chopper, making it less loud and higher pitched.
i think it's really cool how u pretty much just hear the 4/5 undertones from the rotor vanes. it is going so freaking fast, it sounds like a low speed 8/10, or a 4/5 thunderbolt on a low chopper level
I think that’s just the solenoids stopping there long and obnoxious cycle that creates that waste of a sound. Why am I saying this because who ever designed those solenoid cycles needs to be fired right away! The normal 3t22 sounds better
Sounds like the dampers engaged when it went off in alert. at the end you can hear them open. Interesting how they open slowly from the vacuum, hi side first then lo side.
@@northdakotasirens1520 Yes, Thats the same exact thing. The solenoids are shut. You could easily hear the clank at the start. Thats the solenoids shutting, causing less air to come inside the chopper.

WOW. What happens if the solenoid boxes were not stuck ? XO That will make it high pitched as CRAP. Someone must have messed up the brushes in the motor. This siren is a single phase 3T22 (3T22B). Also, can this siren do attack?
The dampers engaged when the siren was activated which allows less air into the intake tubes, making the choppers spin faster and the siren to be less loud
The dampers reopened when it powered off so it sucked a whole bunch of air in while it was still running too fast which is why it screamed at beginning of wind down
Rockstar 1950 But... Its not being overpowered...Are you ignoring all the other previous comments? You seem to have been commenting quite a lot. Surely you came across the comment that explains what is wrong with the siren!
Motor is off balance, causing the undertone. There are 3 pitches, 2 chopper 1 undertone. When the dampers close(both of them), there is less air resistance. So it is high pitched. This is a repulsion induction, maybe stuck on repulsion. That is why it is high pitched.
GOD DAMN. something got screwed up in there! know underpowered well this might me overpowered! or brushes got screwed. imagine it with a stuck solenoid box! damn
Dampers both shut on wind-up, they don't open until wind-down. The motor is factory stock. The lack of rotor load (neither rotor getting air to chop) makes it go faster than it should.

Corey Smith Well, Corey, it sounds to me like something they should correct, and soon, or otherwise this siren will be wearing out soon.

Intakes are shut stopping air from running through, therefore lowering the amount of air resistance, making the chopper spin faster.
