    @TboltHurricane He has single phase blowers for both of his 1003s. Jeb won't sell either of his right now, because they're going to be used with two matching heads to be installed in a nearby town sometime in the near future.

    Modulator runs the hi/lo flasher module or "eddy wheel" as some people call it. The tone 1 switch activates one solenoid, and tone 2 activates the other. Those switches are all there for testing/maintenance purposes. They are all normally set to automatic so it's ready to go when the fire button is pushed on the AF timer. What is nice though, is when the siren is blaring away, I can flip both the tone 1 and tone 2 switches to "test" to completely mute the siren.

    @cheetawolf As far as I know, all Thunderbolts have belt driven rotators...In the 2001 they upgraded to direct drive. My 1003s are both B's for sure though...it says so on the tags and every motor is single phase.

  • @mohkfry
    @mohkfry 13 років тому +1

    @promod400exridr Thats what i thought. I know you need the motor starters to run these of off AR timers.

  • @promod400exridr
    @promod400exridr  12 років тому +1

    Alright dude, stay tuned! The Thunderbolt is all wired up in my theater room now, so I can go throw the switch and push the button whenever I feel the need to generate massive amounts of noise. I'll make an alert vid soon enough.

  • @promod400exridr
    @promod400exridr  11 років тому +1

  • @promod400exridr
    @promod400exridr  13 років тому +1

    @AKSoapy29 You have to do some research, little man! The RCM3 panel controls the flashing of the solenoids. The solenoids are mounted inside the "bowtie" that goes between the horn and stator housing. My AF timer, when you push the "fire" button, triggers the RCM3 panel to flash the solenoids back and forth to produce the hi/lo signal. The different tones are because of a 5/6 port chopper, and the solenoids alternately cover up one set of ports in a hi/lo wail.

    There's an an additional cam wheel in the AF timer that is responsible for that. After this video, I removed the cam wheel, so now it produces a steady hi/lo signal. The wheel can be put back in very easily though, so I did not ruin anything by doing that.

      You could barely hear this outside my house. It helped being in the basement. The only time I set one off outside (within city limits) was totally accidental...the gas powered 3T22 that I rigged up, well, I was testing a couple of functions when the governor decided to pull itself wide open and stay there. Had to pull the spark plug wire to get it to shut down. Fricken A. I pushed it all in the garage and closed up quicker than ever! Cops never showed though thank goodness.

      +Kleneu66 this particular one came from eBay. Government auctions, Craigslist, and "the siren board" (online forum) are all good places to look also. I've also bought sirens from companies that remove old sirens and install new ones.

    • @GoatYouhhudawg
