Highview, KY Federal Signal 3T22 Hi/Lo Siren Test -5/14/19

Decided to Jam on over to Louisville after Oldham county. Someone gave me my a tip that one of the 3T22's in Jefferson county's system did Hi/Lo and I jumped on the opportunity to hear my first Hi/Lo signal. This faded yellow 3T22 is located atop the Highview fire station off of 864. I believe this is the only siren that does hi lo in the system. It's one of the few roof mounted sirens in the system as well. Louisville test on the second Tuesday of the month at 12 Noon.

Always loved the hi/low sounds these sirens produce...such a melodic sound. I remember as a kid growing up in a small Nebraska town, the local used this siren for all of their fire calls. To this day, this particular siren is still their. I know it is still used for their Noon & 6 o'clock siren. As for fire calls, I haven't heard it used but my guess is they still use it.

@Timofey Kozyrev Don't plug your channel on other people's videos, thanks.

[@pootispiker2866]

@Timofey Kozyrev It's not right. People come here for the uploader's videos, not yours. If your videos are good and have good viewer retention, they get promoted more heavily by youtube. If not, they stall with 50-200 views. If you need to plug your channels in comments of *other people's* videos you're probably not doing something right. Plugging your channel in comments makes you look desperate for channel growth and is unsustainable because most people think "Oh that guy wants me to visit his channel because he commented about it. I'm not going to." Work on your channel first like adding tags and seo, not piggybacking off of other's success. No, I won't be nice about you using someone else's channel to benefit yourself.

[@Cchrisbud813]

Awesome recording! I've been noticing a couple interesting siren occurrences in different Louisville areas; I wonder if anyone knows about them. Multiple times during or after stormy weather, I've noticed an extremely distant Whelen sounding in hi-lo. I want to say it's somewhere far south or maybe southeast of the University of Louisville. I never hear any other sirens when I hear it. Secondly, a few weeks ago in Lyndon, I heard a single rotating siren from far away, sounding in fast wail. I don't know what its make and model are. It could perhaps have been a 2001.

@@MidwestSirenProductions its flasher is controlled by a agastat... literally. i have two old RC6 panels from the early-mid 60s and they both have agastats wired inline with the flasher to keep the solenoids operating on windup and down. i have a video of one of them on my channel.

@@iowansirenrecordings2454 well, in Algood (community right outside of cookeville) there is an active, rare Sterling N5, which is an 8 port making it even more rare. In cookeville, there are 4 2001-AC's with the original rare SC controllers, and in Baxter, TN (in the same county) there is a Model 5 with the bottom part of the housing missing, making it look like an ACA Cyclone.

? About the 3t22 hi-lo for anyone who can answer... which solenoid is creating the high pitch? I've always wondered but just guessing it would be the top solenoid?

[@flyoversirens3704]

The high pitch comes from the upper rotor and stator. Technically though the solenoid that causes the siren to emit the high tone is actually the lower solenoid because it is blocking the low tone.

[@eqbuffers5895]

@@flyoversirens3704 thankyou for replying back and answering. I was guessing it was the top solenoid but I wouldn't have guess it was the bottom solenoid that produced the high tone. Definitely something new I learned about the 3T22.

[@chrisw7206]

Listen every second Tuesday of the month at noon. The Hi/Lo is a controller mistake that has apparently gone unnoticed (unreported) for several years. It ought to be fixed for the June ‘20 test. Louisville/Jefferson Co. EMA outdoor warning sirens weather warn and test in “alert” mode. They never run in “attack” unless warning of an actual enemy attack. Hi/Lo hasn’t been used since the introduction of universal fire pager use in the late 1980’s.
