Carstairs siren test: Ravenstruther extreme close up 🔉🤩

[@thunderchild2756]

Almost thought it wasn't gonna start up again on that second wind down 🔉😯

[@thomasbrizzidubs1472]

suena genial! saludos desde Chile, en mi ciudad tenemos la misma para Bomberos y es similar el comienzo de la sirena

I Found out when mrmattandmrchay I’ve heard this exact siren but it goes like ( Normal 20 seconds / High 4 Seconds / Slow down 15 Seconds / Sped Up 2 - 8 Seconds) so it goes higher pitch then slows down then repeat but now it’s either gotten worse or the owner of these sirens have changed the settings to set it so it activated when the siren speeds up it goes low pitch for 4 seconds then high for 10 seconds then slows down I don’t know about how this siren has changed and how its even still alive I thought these were getting taken down..

[@ajs2120]

They have done some work on this, it switches over to delta much quicker than before. Really great footage by the way.

[@thunderchild2756]

Thanks 😁 and great to know it's had some maintenance done too 🔊

[@Nthuziast]

seems like it reaches full power sooner

Awesome video! This siren sounds pretty cool.

This is kind of the equivalent of the 2T22 here in the US.

[@nickburns2110]

Sounds just like Rampton! Love it. I managed to capture the Carstairs sirens from a webcam today based in Thankerton which I will upload later

Cool seeing this up close , good vid 👍

Thanks 👌🏻

I saw the Forth CS8 and the Braehead GP8. They didn’t test but I got to take a look at them, and what beauties these sirens are!

[@thunderchild2756]

Agreed 🔊👍🏻

Amazing! Do not go any closer with no hearing protection or you will actually deafen yourself lol. I forgot it was today and can't wait till I can so Carstairs Village!

[@thunderchild2756]

I had my earphones in this time and it actually dampened the sound to a point where it wasn't in the least bit uncomfortable 🔉☺👌🏻

@@thunderchild2756 that's good lol 😆

Surprised they haven’t changed those bearings/such to be honest but cool video! 😊

hey thunder child, i'm working on an informative video on the klaxon cs8 sirens. do you mind if i use some of your videos? i will give credit in the description. thanks!

[@thunderchild2756]

Yeah sure 🔊👍🏻

[@SummitCountyWXAlerting]

Awesome! I think you should try to get a tripod for your camera at some point. That would be great.

[@thunderchild2756]

I had one put I've lost it lol I try not to shake too much but it's really hard when it's freezing lol but I think I done pretty good this time considering 🔉☺👌🏻

[@SummitCountyWXAlerting]

@@thunderchild2756 I'd say if you're planning to get a tripod, you might as well get a camera that zooms optically. I'd say to try and get yourself a Canon Legria. They're really high quality camcorders that have 32x optical zoom, are easy to use, and the only other thing you'd need is a decent SD Card for shooting video. They also have microphone ports, so if you're planning on getting the best audio, you could buy something like a shotgun mic. You would need an extra accessory for holding the microphone, but the built in microphone is still extremely good.

[@SummitCountyWXAlerting]

And keep in mind this is from an American POV so if I accidentally said anything offensive I'm sorry 😅

[@thunderchild2756]

@@SummitCountyWXAlerting lol you didn't 😜 but unfortunately for the time being it'll be my current set up (my phone and hopefully the addition of another tripod soon) as I can't afford any other equipment yet. But you'll still get the best I (currenly) have to offer 🔉😜👌🏻

[@LC_sirens_and_Sounders]

wow! that is a hell of a long wait for the star delta compared to the ones near me at rampton

[@thunderchild2756]

I know lol Eastman goes after just a couple seconds 🔊

[@LC_sirens_and_Sounders]

@@thunderchild2756 never heard of that one. Is it on the Carstairs network?

[@thunderchild2756]

Damn I'm sorry I meant East Drayton 🤣 don't know why my brain turned in it in to Eastman lol I think there's ones in Wales called that so I must have got confused lol

[@LC_sirens_and_Sounders]

@thunderchild2756 yh there is trying to get to east Drayton after Carstairs 🤞

Hopefully I'll get to Drayton one day 🔊🤞🏻

R.i.p hearing 😂

Lol it was actually fine with my earphones in 🔉

[@seanjuth]

Well they fixed the motor starter but they haven't fixed the rotors scraping the stators

[@loescheimer]

Why do these sirens pitch up at a certain moment like you recorded in 2:15?

[@thunderchild2756]

It's a known fault with the star/delta motor in some older gp12s I believe 🔊

[@olliemccoy3342]

How loud was that because with other sirens It's to loud for the camera

[@thunderchild2756]

It's extremely loud lol

[@GokantheHusky]

What is causing that sudden rise in RPM when it approaches full power?

[@thunderchild2756]

No one actually knows..... most say it's cos it's old and a bit seized so it takes longer to hit full power, but I'm actually starting to think it may be programmed to do it 🔊🤔

[@GokantheHusky]

@@thunderchild2756 It truly is a mystery and maybe one time if the siren gets either refurbished or replaced, they will reveal what makes it do that.

[@thunderchild2756]

@@GokantheHusky hopefully it doesn't get replaced. It just needs some wd40 to stop the grinding 🤣

[@GokantheHusky]

@@thunderchild2756 Ok I found out. I believe the siren is running on a Star Delta starter. Some sirens in New Zealand do the same thing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZDNhZyKarlsnpo kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqWlmmmAdsSVoa8
