    Old siren manuals

    Just went nearly blind reading through the old board archives. I think one of the old posts indicated someone had vintage Federal and GE Powercall siren tech manuals in PDF form that they could e-mail. Probably just tired, but I couldn't find the posts again when I tried. Does anyone have this information? I an interested in Federal PA200, Interceptors and Directors if anyone has the info, and of course, the Powercall. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I have a PA15A 1E myself and searched a while when I got the siren.
    I knew nothing about sirens so I wanted to make sure I wouldn't fry anything...

    Glad to know those will help you!
    Good luck in your projects!

    Series 2B is a completely different siren. Series 2B (c. 1968) has low-pitched wail and yelp tones. I have the manual for series 2B.

    There are many different versions of the Director and Interceptor models. The circuit boards and siren tones have changed over the years as Federal tried to 'improve' on the design.

    Re: Catalog thread (updated 10/17/10)

    Just a suggestion:
    Would it be possible to group catalogs in manufacturer's sections?
    e.g:

    Fedsig
    -twinsonic
    -beacon rays
    -Aerodynics

    Code 3
    -SD
    -XL
    -MX7000

    and so on...
    I know this would be a big job sorting all those catalogs but you could then go straight to what you want to look instead of rummaging in all those pictures...

    1996 target tech catalog. Of note is that the catalog mentions only amber/clear for the lightbars, but the back cover shows red/blue.

    Scans from one of my Federal Signal catalogs:

    I have a couple of vintage Federal Signal catalogs that have some exploded views of some vintage federal signal lightbars. They look like this:




    If you all would like a specific lightbar, or if you want a higher resolution image, you can PM me, and I'll try to accomodate your request. Just remember, I'm not doing this for financial compensation, I'm doing it because I enjoy the hobby, so I may not be able to get back to you immediately. Enjoy.

    I have finally scanned my 1963 Federal catalog in color if anybody is interested. I scanned at 200 dpi so it is a large pdf file, approx 17mb, 48 pages. Right click to download:

    1963 Federal catalog in color

    This is the same pdf file but less resolution for dial up users, about 8mb:

    Here's a few Martin Signal and Fiamm pages. The Martin Horn'sare from 1972 and the Fiamm's are from 1974. It seems not much as changed in nearly 40 years! A special thanks to Dr. Dennis Stouffer, who gave me these.

    1990 was one of the few years where the 5200 and 994 series were offered but the 8000 was not, it had been replaced by the advantedge at this point. This is a real transitional period in the whelen line, and the time frame most of my collection of whelen comes from.
