I own an federal Signal UltraVoice (the same controller as this siren) the satellite activation is the most prone to failure and false alarm out of any other activation method If they just used ham radios with repeaters built into the cabinet communicating using DTMF they would cut down drastically the amount of siren failures and false alarms also DTMF can support 2 way (when a siren has a false activation or any other error it will alert the emergency management)

The original commenter was confused as to why the siren in the video was producing a sound that identifies its control unit as a type which is not commonly used with this type of siren.

Oh thanks! Cool to know. I did not know that it was so close to failure. Why is that a feature?

That is an option but
that would be extremely expensive
This thing looks like an ASC controller. You can also hear it judging by the sound.
Whats up with Hawaii scaring their people.
Modulator running asc... interesting
that siren will be useful when the global mega-quake happens
Why is the Modulator running on an ASC controller? I've seen ASCs running UVs, but this...
What is an ASC controller? And a UV?

It's a modleder but it has a hi lo sound
@@oshianawade5622 modleder lmao
i think its controller must have been replaced in the period that Hawaii bought from ASC
Ewwww it's running an ASC Sound Card. Just use the FS UV, it's much better😝
Yes it is but in my opinion siratone is much better
Modern-day sirens malfunction rarely
There old

How ironic. During the wild fire, people hear no siren at all!
This is not where it talks about wildfires 😂😂😂

This is why I like American signal corporation better than federal signal.
its that is Tsunami Siren
Yes
that mod was sounding in alert, so hopfully everyone thought it was a tsunami and not a nuclear attack
Yeah, would've been way more serious if it were wail
大規模な、空襲警報訓練の、時も、このサイレンも、鳴ってたんだね。
Modulator's suck T-bolts are the real siren there a part of history not this electric crap
Shut the fuck up stop hating. The Modulator is a great siren.
eh there ok but T-bolts are better
Animal_003_raccoon _ Thunderbolts have a larger reputation of things not working properly than Modulators do the last time I checked
IKR SO true, also sentry sirens as well

Fanawb Productions that is outdated technology we do not use AF or AR timers on new sirens like the Modulator they were showing
thunderbolt sirens
Ashton Delaney no that is a Modulator 3012 😂

What r the sirens for
+Frisk Undertale tsunamis
+Hockey For Life Wow...
many things, Tsunamis, Earthquakes, Volcanoes, Hurricanes, Tornadoes, etc.
CatDroid Musicals of FanDroid and CatDroid and war, nuclear meltdown,
Glasterz they use the sirens for alot more things besides they wont do it for tsunami's because the siren wont have enough time to shut down
why dont they just have a pa function and say this is a test, or disregard. lol too complicated apparently.
its a modulator its electric it can do that but apparently they did not use it
