New Federal Signal 508 Siren Installed

Just off the production line, a brand new Federal Signal 508 siren was installed on May 17, 2012 at Belmar Elementary School. This is the first siren of this type in at least the entire state of Texas. The siren replaces a Federal Signal 2T22, produced in the early 1950s to late 1980s that lately had been having continous technical issues.

So how does the new siren compare? Below are some comparisons between the new siren (508) and the old siren (2T22). The new 508 siren will give us an extra 5620 ft. of coverage from the old 2T22 and an extra 900 ft. from the 2001-130s.
