Federal Signal MC Controller wind-up variations

[@v10-ACR-E]

Fun Fact: The Wrigleyville 6024 actually starts at 200HZ but the amps have some issue that perfectly delays the start to be at 300HZ. Other MCs without this issue per-say were programmed this way because the drivers shouldn't be used under 285HZ, and since 300HZ is the wail down cycle, they started at 300HZ for the newer MC's as default.
EDIT: Federal later used this method as default for their E-Controllers because its more simple and they're easier to program compared to the SiraTone (C/B) and Modulator Controller (MC).

[@DEADPOOL1418-d7h]

True

The difference in wind up times comes from two different factors
First factor On the first generation of MCs they had a slower CPU speed resulting in a slower wind up and on the second generation they changed to a quicker processor resulting in a faster wind up with less hiccups.
The second factor was when
you reprogrammed the controller with the later versions of MCwin (the programming software) the tone file started at 300Hz instead of 200Hz

[@SirenArchives]

Interesting. But Siren1000T's MC controller supposedly came from Brighton, MI and was manufactured in 1991, thus making it a 1st gen MC, but it still has the fast 200 Hz wind up. What would explain that?

[@mattmakesmachines]

@@SirenArchives not all first generation controllers have the same CPU speed
There were two different CPUs that they would use and whichever one they used varied from order to order
On the second generation they switched to only using the faster one

I don’t have a single clue why but recently I’ve been binge watching this guys tornado sirens😭😭😭😂

these are actually amazing it’s not to long it’s not to short it’s perfect

[@MichanaAlerting]

The 300hz windups sound like a Whelen starting lol

[@AleronRattan]

Now I'm starting to feel strange about hearing EOWS with Ultravoice

[@Thomasthegamer11]

it’s ok

[@v10-ACR-E]

Since it's rotating, it's better. The signal is way faster and stuff. I still prefer the MC over any E-Controller

Oh hello replyers

[@michaelsegal3558]

The one at 1:01 reminded me of the sound in the NES game Track & Field when you throw the javelin

[@SpringJewel9115]

Not me having a random ass obsession with tornado sirens watching this shit- :333

[@djraythefurry0420]

Lmao felt X3

[@nightmarefreddle4174]

Same here, I have a random fascination with tornadoes and storms yet I get scared if there’s a bad storm in my city. I usually watch chasers who are live during bad events and it helps. I now no longer have nightmares after listening to EAS alerts or tornado sirens.

0:53 ACA Hurricane

[@RicemanEdits]

I HEARED IT!!!!

[@ImEpic854]

You can hear it for a few milliseconds.

[@Leossirensandstuff]

It's the 508 (white siren) not the aca hurricane.

[@RicemanEdits]

@@Leossirensandstuff you can kinda hear it when tapping the 0:53

[@DanielBukharov]

When i stil lived in Ukraine i useto here these sirens almost every day even one time waking me up at 3:00 at night
😊

[@ilovephilipines]

1:12 i love how at the wind down its quite the same

[@Ilovesirensandtrains2016]

0:42 why do they both go off like shouldn't one be inactive???

[@FederalSignal2T22B]

0:27, look at the bottom next to the railway you can see a modulator like thing

[@JP3_C6Z]

Yup that is definitely a mod

[@penclone01-n4x]

1:20 wind-up sounds like a whelen

[@smithfirebuff23]

i was just wondering, why do they put 2 sirens next to each other?

[@SirenArchives]

@@smithfirebuff23 The white siren replaced the other one.

[@SirenViewer2006]

In Chicago,
Those are Actually Modulators .
Not EOWS.

[@SirenArchives]

Yeah, I know.

[@borkluchtalarm]

The videon is about the MC controller, which can be used on both.

[@ImEpic854]

In fact, it can be used on all electronic sirens.

[@PinkMouse7]

im sure this is good for my ears

[@pyro_pyrolysis]

0:57 , why have 2 sirens in such close proximity??

[@SirenArchives]

The siren on the right was in the process of being replaced. They got the new siren set up, but hadn't bothered taking the old one down yet. It's gone now though.
