Sick Federal Signal 2001-DC "Roundback" | Alert | Warren, Ohio

Recorded on March 7th, 2020.
This was the monthly test of the city of Warren's outdoor warning system which is normally tested the first Saturday of the month at 12 Noon. Their system is comprised of eight Federal Signal 2001s located throughout the city.
This Roundback can be found behind the Lincoln PK-8 school on Northeast Atlantic Street. Unfortunately as you can see this unit isn't faring too well. I highly suspect that this unit is suffering from low batteries like many of the nearby Howland Township units did last year.

One of the 2001-130s in Emporia, KS sounded like this for awhile but it still rotated.

[@bruinhaleymusic]

Awesome! Did NOT expect that.

[@savagedude9689]

Basically a sick 130 with the pitch changing, but still a dc

Me parece muy buena y me encanta como suena la sirena

[@OhioOutdoorWarningSirens]

Nice! It must've been quiet af too

[@fumikiri0680]

[@OhioOutdoorWarningSirens]

[@northdakotasirens1520]

this ones struggling

[@DownToYouSirens]

Definitely low batteries. Is the rotator broken?

[@Jimjam69e]

I'm guessing the rotator is frozen.

[@fumikiri0680]

Batteries were shot at the time, they’ve since been replaced. During my last visit to this unit it worked flawlessly (th-cam.com/video/8sn3xjodBew/w-d-xo.html).

[@tyttuut]

Definitely bad batteries. You can hear the pitch slowly dropping as the voltage sags.

[@stephensnell1379]

Also the siren isn't even rotating

Tipico de las sirenas que no son bien mantenidas esto es a causa de falta del mantenimiento del motor electrico lo cual a probocado esa perdida de potencia en la sirena 2001 dc

[@Dogappel]

Needs new amps or driver or remove the custom tone

[@CentralOHSirens]

Amps and drivers on a electromechanical siren yep that’s how it works
