Federal Signal 3T22 Noon Blast - Mapleton, Utah Siren Test

Well, today I heard my first 3T22. Recently I found a bus route that Google Maps has been hiding from me, which just so happens to go past Mapleton. After realizing this, I decided to jump on the opportunity and take the 4 hour trip down there. After seeing it in person, and the rough shape it's in, I wasn't too sure it would go off. But at 12:02, it screamed to life (half-halfheartedly, unfortunately). At first glance, you can tell this siren has been through a lot. and after closer inspection, you can definitely get an idea of the shape it's in. The nearly 12' mounting brackets, the crooked conduit, and a completely absent solenoid mechanism, definitely makes me wonder what this siren's history is. It's definitely ancient, as it runs off an AF timer and a Federal Automatic clock, which can both be seen in this video: • Federal 3T22A Mapleton... .
I would definitely say this was worth the 8 hour round trip, even it it was sounded for just a few seconds. Sirens are in short supply here, which is why I think it's important to document whatever I can while everything is still up.

Missing 2 cones, sounds like a 2001-SRN siren when it winds down, second chopper doesn’t work. Very interesting siren.

[@crazybreadsticks8428]

most likely why the second chopper wasnt running is prob because missing cones

[@trainsandsirensofutah5334]

No the damper was stuck

STH-10 Sound -_-

[@kansasstatealerting2424]

It sounds like a STH-10 because the bottom damper is shut so only the 12 port is heard.

The motor on this is actually wired "correctly" because the bottom rotor turns clockwise. Correctly is in quotes because the rotors aren't directional and can be run either way.
