Interesting to hear these run in whoop, especially with the ESC-2030. We supposedly use that signal for HAZMAT here in Columbus, but they never run them in the signal on the Saturday tests. I'm waiting on the day we have to use it to see how many people go "wth, are they malfunctioning?" Nice video man.

huh me too. These sirens are what the county I live in uses. When I found out they were made of plastic I wanted my mom to buy a weather radio for every room of the house. Places that use Whelen wps sirens must have a lot of money to blow..Every time a hail storm happens the sirens in that area that the hail hits has to replace the sirens. lol

Ethan Davies Yeah. That's it. Thanks for correcting me. I think it might be for like if you're driving by with your windows down it will light up to show you it's going to go off. Or for siren enthusiasts to get the camera rolling.

my favorite video on your channel! the siren holds more than 10 400 watt speakers in the black shell covers, and the lights on the bottom are indicators to show that it's switched on. the lights were made by whelen also. thank you.

Why the whoop signal?

@UberLukario 7 жыл бұрын

Xavier Savedra "Whoop" Signal is used in case a nearby dam fails. Other signals can be used, but this particular town/area uses "Whoop" for Dam Failiure. Otherwise, "Alert/Steady" would be used for Severe Weather, and "Attack/Wail" would be used for Hazardous materials/take cover. Whelen sirens do have other signals, i.e. Air Horn, which can be used for an All Clear signal.
