    I used to do non-operational testing on our sirens if we had a problem during an activation. Usually I had to do that in the middle of the day. I never wanted to blast the neighborhood while testing so I would cycle the three switches in the cabinet one at a time (blower, chopper, rotator). The most hideous sound was running the blower without the chopper, it sounded like a giant fart-cushion. We had people who were at home and asleep during the work day (shift workers). They would invariably call and complain about the fart-cushion blower. My biggest maintenance problem was in the rotator due to a lack of lubrication. When it is sitting on top of a sixty foot tall wooden pole that would mean a call to the siren company to come out and service it. Not a task that I was ready to do. I could climb a ladder and service it from the cabinet (sometimes even replace contactor parts or reset a thermal that had tripped out).

    So. What you need to do is locate 2 sets of wires. One if for the rotator and another is for the chopper. You need to connect 2 plugs to the system. (120vac or 240vac). Locate the 2 wires coming from the rotator motor and connect your power cord to that. Look for a black cable that has 2 wires in it that goes into the stand pipe. That is your chopper. I hope This helps.

    For the collector rings, they push on the rings making a contact. The motor brushes will push against the commutator making a connector to energize the rotor.
