In my opinion I think you should let off a little more, not because its annoying, but because it gives the raise and lower of the tone, I think its more noticeable to hear it go up and down rather than a straight high tone, but then again, its a loud tone. great video! Be safe brother!

@@A.Matt7 don't pin the siren at its peak for more than a few seconds at a time. It's designed to be wound up and coast down at varying levels. Continuous operation at peak rotation causes the clutch to "weld" to the rotor and decreases the performance of the unit. then it sounds like this kzfaq.info/get/bejne/obBgnJCZ0d7GkX0.html

For those who worry about running the Q too long  Does Your Q Siren Not Coast Down Like it Used to? After a few times of having this phenomenon, and alot of tinkering, I have found the most common cause for Q siren issues. Being responsible for the maintenance on 8 trucks that have them I've had a chance to take them apart a few times and I thought I'd share my expierences with everyone so that you can easily fix a very simple problem. If you have a Q siren and it winds down very quickly after you let the pedal go, the following is the most likely cause and repair. If you arent sure, try comparing the coast down times of two different sirens. A well trained ear can tell the difference. Essentially, you should be able to lightly tap the button and get about 30 seconds to a minute of coasting befire the siren stops completely. The following contains terms that you might not find 100% mechanically correct, but hopefully you get the ideas!! First, understand the basic operating principle of the siren. A very high powered motor that spins a rotor and creates the siren noise. The rotor is mounted on the motor shaft and has a closed bearing assembly that it sits on. Attached to the outer face of the rotor is what I would call a cork type of disc. At the very end of the shaft is a brass wheel (clutch) mounted on a worm gear. When you press the siren button, the spinning (centrifugal force) of the motor draws the clutch wheel into the disc and "bites" down, turning the rotor and producing the increase in siren pitch. When you release the siren button, the clutch wheel is supposed to release and "float" back on the worm gear to allow the rotor to continue free spinning on the downward pitch until you either depress the button again or it stops. The bearing that the rotor is mounted on allows a smooth and long downward spin. What happens when you abuse the siren, is that the clutch mechanism freezes to the rotor, and instead of the siren winding down on the smooth rolling bearing, it winds down with the electric motor. Even if you have a nice clean motor, it doesnt take long for it to wind down and stop spinning. Abuse is when you pin the siren button down and allow it to scream at peak rotation for more than a few seconds. Some people think this is an effective siren use. In reality it only damages the unit. Here is the simple fix. 1. Remove the 4 screws on the front of the siren that hold the face plate on. This is the part with the "F" on it. Take the face plate off. 2. Remove the 3 screws that hold the back housing on. Take the cover off. 3. Remove the 3 screws that hold the small cover on the siren shaft, these are inside the rotor on the front of the unit. 4. You shold now see the brass clutch mechanism mounted on the motor shaft. Spin the rotor and see if the clutch mechanism is stuck to the rotor mechanism. When you spin the rotor, it should spin free and easily and coast nice and smoothly. The brass clutch wheel should sit free of the rotor and not spin. 5. If the brass wheel is stuck to the pad on the rotor, try a few taps with a hammer to loosen it. If this is unsuccessful, utilize large channel lock pliers or a pipe wrench to turn the brass wheel. On the back of the motor is a piece you can attach a vise grip or other wrench to keep the shaft from spinning while you perform this trick. 6. Once free, test the siren by tapping the pedal a few times to see if the clutch wheel sticks to the rotor again. If it still gets stuck, use a VERY SMALL amount of multipurpose oil or WD40 to lubricate between the front face of the clutch wheel and the end of the motor shaft. DO NOT get any oil or grease between the clutch wheel and rotor. Doing this will cause the clutch pad to get slippery and the clutch mechanism will not grab properly. This will cause the siren to not wind up. Each time you tap the siren, it should wind up and when you release the pedal it should let the brass wheel spin free so the rotor can coast down. 7. Reassemble and promptly beat the worst offenders of Q siren abuse. Hopefully this helps. If needed, I can take pictures of this process for anyone whl may need additional insight. Its a 10-15 minute fix in most cases. I encourage you to examine the components closely before banging and messing with stuff. As always, the manufacturer probably has some liability statment and maintenance booklet you should read first as well. To prevent this problem, don't pin the siren at its peak for more than a few seconds at a time. It's designed to be wound up and coast down at varying levels. Continuous operation at peak rotation causes the clutch to "weld" to the rotor and decreases the performance of the unit.

Thanks for the tutorial. But I wouldn't discourage operators from peaking the mechanical Q for more than a few seconds. As mentioned in your tutorial,it has a heavy duty motor...and that's for expected heavy duty use. Not every response district has the same traffic density,directions,plane levels and response miles to travel. Not saying to peak it from responding to arrival either. Just to peak it when it's needed.

The reason for the Q is simple. Image a fully loaded dump truck was speeding down a street like a firetruck..... People would be upset because we know dump trucks are big, heavy and don't stop well. A fire engine is for the most part exactly the same and if a quick turn or braking should occur usually the results are not good. So the Q clears a path for the brick with wheels so people will be safe.

Well, I have not seen it done.No "Q"s in this area have been burned up in the 40 years I lived here.THIS "Q" will be 13 straight years old of peaking next month.And it's NOT pointless because you or I don't perfer it.A peaked "Q" can be heard just like a "Q" coasting up and down.Only that a coasting "Q" is more effective for long-distance warning.

On an 8 box, we dont go back in service unless confirmed that the emergency situation has disapated completely. Thats the East for sure lol. Take care man.
