Which model of the SA400 do you have?


SVP has a few manuals for the older SA400 series on their site.

Hopefully that should help.

Thanks Newberry! Through looking at the manuals and my siren I figured out that I have a SA-400-73.

Not a problem, glad to help! I used to have a 63 version. I really liked the tones on it until it started dying out and the yelp sound like I was trying to start a boat with a dead battery! :dielaugh:

Likely a descendant of the Carson SA300.

Carson used to make a lot of older sirens that different manufacturers called their own. For instance, both my Whelen WS-224 and WS-295 have Carson copyrights stamped on their circuit boards....

I think that is it.... not sure, see i found a friend that has one for sale with a few dashking strobes and power supplys all kinds of that stuff that i was thinking about getting.

Just to add model which was manufactured by Carson exclusively for Whelen; You can see different logo in the same bottom left corner. SA-410

The big red button in the center has popped off mine and I have no idea where it is. I often use the airhorn option, which requires pressing the button (now impossible) and desperately need a replacement. Can anyone help?

 

[Newberry13]

If you're handy with soldering, they still make those buttons. All you need to do is replace it. How big is the button?

Yours is in alot better condition than mine was! I just sold mine to get a Mastercom and SoundOff Slim Speaker. Kinda wish I still had it as a collectible. :bonk:

It is a VERY good siren. I was very impressed with mine because of how old it was! Good luck with it!
