Whelen Vortex R4, Full Attack/Wail: Mitchell, Indiana (Lawrence Co. Tornado Siren Test, HD)

[@HSETM]

You gotta love the 435hz wail.

[@DSRX100]

Thanks! Yep, they test at 12:30, I don't know why they go off later than everyone else though.

[@DSRX100]

Its a DTMF code that tells the siren what to do.

[@F5Storm1]

Sounds epic when it echos facing away from the camera.

[@DSRX100]

Nope. The only motor is the one used for the rotator.

[@niks_crazy_world]

Yep, definitely one more somewhere. Did you ever find it?

[@DSRX100]

Nope, not yet. I say there's a 50% chance there could be another one, but I still think it might just be an echo. But I'll keep looking if I pass by there.

[@mktissuperkool750]

+Dsrx100,you now that the whelen vortex was going to attack/wail but,it did but after it finised,it shuted down fast

[@stephensnell1379]

You mean shutted

[@ElyseHorvath]

And it sounds great

[@Nottruesigma]

wow this siren has been 8 years ago

[@juicelive2180]

Wow that tornado it comming

[@FA50PH]

Bruh its test not warning

[@dancarlorata3176]

It's just a test, not a tornado warning or smth.

[@dillonskeletilcoronado1708]

Sometimes when there is a test on the toronado sirans I keep thinking it's a toronado warning. Don't you think?

[@jakemann5821]

It's a tornado spell it right next time 😠

[@Patrickbaby420]

+TaaleriPupu it's DTMF

[@Taylor_Buckley122s]

Scared my mom with this once

[@chopperguy5569]

darn shame the wail doesn't go all the way up like the older controllers

[@whammyp50]

In fact this is a 2020. Do you mean going up as being like a classic attack like the old ESC-864?

[@stephensnell1379]

@Jonah Hall it's spelt heard

[@almacogdill9413]

How Do You Tell The Difference Between A Whelen Vortex And A Whelen 4004?

[@DSRX100]

You can tell from the rotator box. If it has a square shaped motor cover, it's a Vortex. If it's circular, it's a 4000 series. If it's got a fin on the back, it's an older Vortex.

[@ElyseHorvath]

I know that this is a stupid question but are those mechanical siren

[@ilikecookies1787]

DUMASS PF COURSE DUMASS

[@Elizabeth-ts4om]

How do you get the DTMF frequencies?

[@DSRX100]

+BOB!theGMObanana Radio Scanner monitoring a specific frequency, usually one used for fire or police dispatch.

[@Elizabeth-ts4om]

+DSRX100 yes but how do you find out what frequency to set the scanner at?

[@whammyp50]

+BOB!theGMObanana i know right and scanners are at least above $20.

[@DSRX100]

+BOB!theGMObanana RadioReference.com Usually sirens are activated on a county fire frequency of some sort, but it's always different. You'll have to do research and program multiple frequencies.

[@EmporerOfMankind40k]

+DSRX100 Is a Whelen Vortex a electronic or a fan siren? I'm curious since in Greencastle Indiana where I'm at they have these by the Wal-Mart, at the Jail, and at the National Guard armory. I was just curious as to what gives them that chilling noise.

[@cooldomino1800]

This Vortex has a different attack tone

[@cooldomino1800]

I meant to say Wail. collector rings

[@dancarlorata3176]

collector rings? *I'ma call EOWS bros right quick.*

[@cooldomino1800]

@@dancarlorata3176 lol

[@TaaleriPupu]

Does anybody know what is that phone sound what some sirens make before they start howling??

[@stampycatfan01lol]

TaaleriPupu They are DTMF Tones. They basically act as a radio transmission which activates the sirens for a certain tone and for how long. The siren cabinet has a receiver which picks up the DTMF tones, and then activates the siren accordingly.

[@dylxnchn]

good echo!
