Federal Signal PA200 Siren - Full Tone Demo

A demonstration of all the tones available on my Federal Signal PA200 siren. Note that the hi-lo and wail-yelp in-between tones do not work properly.

I am a lights, sirens, and emergency vehicle enthusiast too, and I collected surviving examples of electronic sirens that I heard during my childhood and adolescence. I have a PA200 in my collection. I heard this siren sound a lot from the mid-1970s all the way up to the end of the 1990s. The PA15A series 1E, PA20A series 2E, PA70, PA100, PA150, PA170, PA200, and PA1000 all have the same high-pitched fast rising slow falling wail and yelp tones.

This one has a very interesting pitch to it.

Sounds like an 80K

[@davidashton35]

Eh, but tbh the 80k, this, and the older TM4’s all are kinda similar

[@SirenRecordingsofIowa]

@@davidashton35 ok

[@crichey1000]

Is this discontinued?

[@thelightguy2]

Yes, I believe this has been discontinued for more than 35 years.

[@crichey1000]

Really? Why's that?

[@thelightguy2]

@@crichey1000 It's an old vintage siren, I believe it was most commonly used in the 70s and 80s.
