Federal Signal 2001-SRN Siren Test, Romeoville, IL, 1/7/2025
Siren information:
Type: 2001 Model SRN (DC)
Installed: 1990's or early 2000's. Refurbished and re-installed in 2014.
RPM: 2
Port Ratio: 12
Date: January 7th, 2025
Location: 14949 Lewis Dr, Romeoville, IL
Testing: First Tuesday of the month at 10:00 AM
Activation Time: 10:00
Cycle: 2-minute alert signal
Camera: Canon Powershot SX280HS
Secondary Camera: Samsung Galaxy S23 Smartphone integrated camera
Distance: 115 ft
Noteworthy information: This siren was removed and completely refurbished by Braniff Communications in 2014, hence why it has a Civil Defense logo on the rotator.
Happy New Year! It's been too long since I go out on a first Tuesday. Today, I decided to stay local and go to one of Romeoville's 2001s. Interestingly, this siren's location was not publicly known (in the siren community at least) until I found it in 2021. 4 years later, I figured it was time that this 2001 got some camera time. This one is hidden in the middle of a small neighborhood, so inevitably it was hard to find. It's a bit underpowered, and I heard a strange undertone coming from it towards the end of the test. But hey, it works, and it seems healthy for the most part. I'm a salty with the backlit shot, but this was the only place I could record from, and my camera didn't die in the cold, so it's not the end of the world. Thanks for watching!

    The Romeoville toasters don't run at full volume for the tests. When I last talked to their police chief, they were run at around 1/4 volume, enough to make sure it works and nothing else. The 2001-SRN this replaced was internally rusted to heck and back, and that will become a problem in many other places going forward. Those sirens are near the end of their lifespans now.

      @@CooperJohnson01 I don't think battery backup is possible for thunderbolts. At least the 3-phase ones. As for this one, it was starting to show its age. The blower was replaced a few years before this recording, and you can see the head wobble from side to side. Besides, maintaining thunderbolts is a lot more expensive than maintaining 2001s. The situation you've described with your city is quite odd though. It could be a radio issue or the thing is really messed up.
