SECTION IV
SERVICE
4-1. GENERAL.
DANGER
Service should be performed by
qualified personnel familiar with the
siren, associated controls, and
power sources being used. The
siren has moving parts, high
operating currents, explosive gases,
and corrosive materials that could
cause severe personal injury,
electrocution, or death. Before
servicing or maintaining, ensure that
remote activation can not occur and
disconnect power to the siren and its
controls.
Experience has shown that all Federal
sirens are highly reliable devices. However, if
a siren failure does occur, Federal will
provide technical assistance with problems
that cannot be handled satisfactorily and
promptly locally. If assistance is desired,

WARNING
The output level of a 2001SRNB
siren is capable of causing
permanent hearing damage.
Therefore, ALWAYS wear hearing
protection when performing tests or
maintenance on the siren.
To prevent the siren from sounding
or rotating, always turn off the power
to the siren at the disconnect switch
and remove the 48VDC, 4AWG red
wire in the Battery Box before
inspecting or maintaining the siren.
4-2. INSPECTION.
Test the 2001SRNB siren for proper
operation at least once a month. A daily test
at noon, curfew, or other selected time is
preferred. This not only enhances the
usefulness of the siren, but instills public
confidence in the reliability of the warning
system.
In order to minimize the possibility of
siren failure, annual inspection and
maintenance is desirable. Battery
replacement should be performed
approximately every five years. This
schedule is only a suggested guideline. It
may be necessary to vary the schedule if the
siren is used frequently or if it is used in an
extreme climate.
A. Turn off the power to the siren at the
disconnect switch. Disconnect the 48VDC,
4AWG red wire in the Control Unit.
B. Inspect the siren installation to be
sure that it is vertically oriented. Take
corrective action if a pole-mounted
installation is more than 5º from vertical or if
a roof or flat surface mount is more than 10º
from vertical. This will prevent lubrication
losses and excessive motor bearing wear.
C. Inspect all electrical and mechanical
connections. Make sure that all fasteners are
properly tightened.
D. Inspect all painted surfaces and
repaint as necessary.
E. Both the rotator motor and siren
motor have sealed and pre-lubricated
bearings. Therefore, neither of these motors
requires any additional lubrication.
