6 жыл бұрынType: Whelen Vortex R4
Signal: Alert and Hi-Lo (test)
Location: 170 Park Drive, Wilmington, Clinton County, OH (Williams Memorial Park)
For the first Saturday in March, we decided to get a Vortex in Wilmington. Our original plan was to try and grab the brand new (installed two days prior) OA4 that replaced the 2001-DC downtown, but it wasn't hooked up yet. Either way, pretty happy that we were able to get our second successful Wilmington test. This particular Vortex is 435 Hz, and in case you can't tell, it's a clipper! Regardless of the obvious driver issue, it was pretty loud in person. Oddly enough, the hi-lo was much louder than the alert in person. Enjoy!
A side note, there was someone in their car next to us trying to get someone's attention in the skate park, so that's what all the honking is.
Clinton County sirens are tested on the first Saturday of each month at noon.

There's something about the hi lo that makes this siren unique!

What I like about the video so much is how the head of the siren is rotating in both directions I like that it rotates in one direction, stops and then goes the other way

Man I wish whelen could release a new siren with collector rings...

Collector Rings aren’t as Reliable. With Electronic Sirens if they get Dirty the Siren won’t Function Properly.

What’s the difference between Vortex and WPS-4004?
@SouthGeorgiaSirens 3 жыл бұрын
4000 does voice and has a rotator that can pick any compass direction and has a taller square shaped rotator. While the vortex lacks both features and is a tone-only siren, and the rotator is more flat and rectangular.

This siren has no collector rings, and instead has wires running directly from the rotator to the siren head. The siren oscillates so that these wires aren't twisted and break.
