With the CS8 its not changing the hi lo, all the shutter is doing is muting that side, if you stood in front of the machine so both sides were facing to your right and left, the hi side would be on one side and the low the other, when the siren is going hi lo hi lo its just alternating the shutters on each side alternately, in the all clear tone its just opens them both, and when running down it closes both which is why the noise gets a lot quieter very quickly, if the unit was properly functioning... the bagshot siren wasnt and the low tone was stuck open.

For all those asking what would happen is someone escapes at 10? The sirens would keep going. Since the test is only for 2 minutes then it will stop. If someone escapes then the siren will stay on escape tone for more than the 2 minutes thus alerting of a real escape.

There are similar sirens here. Tested on Saturday 2pm. Scary as hell when they start up in the middle of the night...

Oh brilliant! Does he have an interest with sirens, and alarm related stuff? When I was about 6, I loved wiring things up and taking things apart to see how they worked (especially my toys, then couldn't put them back together again!!). Later when I was about 10 or 11, I developed an interest in alarm devices - bought many burglar alarms and detectors - my room was wired up with so much stuff (goodness knows how I got away with it in my parents house!). Unfortunately, the only siren system simular to Broadmoor is Carstairs in Scotland (still working). Might be a bit scary for your son as he's only 4, if you went there. Broadmoor sirens were removed back in 2018. Let me know if you have any questions from you son, and I'll try and answer them! Matt

The bagshot siren sounds like a thunderbolt 1003t at 1.5% speed

In almost 40 yrs of living in Frimley, I have never heard the all clear sounded BEFORE the escape siren. I've seen the other towers around the area, but I'd always thought they were mini tv, radio or phone masts! Now as a higher functioning autistic, I at last know where "the sonic enemy" really is1 Good for me to know!

I know that they’ve been removed, but do any remain? And does the one in Crowthorne still stand? I was at the station the other day but didn’t look out for it so didn’t see it, but I think it’s really interesting mainly just because they’re creepy as fuck

Sounded like the Bagshot Depot signal had a stuck shutter. I could hear the lower pitched tone the whole time.

I'm now inclined to believe that I've kinda figured out how the telephone activation system worked, and why the telephone box remains on the other sirens that have been cut down. The telephone control boxes, along with the equipment inside of them, are owned by British Telecom. Because they are property of BT, Broadmoor can't even open those boxes without BT's permission. This is one of the reasons why the control boxs are mostly left. The biggest reason why these control boxes remain, is because of their location. It serves no benefit to BT to physically remove the boxes, as it would require work to sometimes dig up underground phone lines, which would be of no benefit to BT and would cost a lot of money to do. With this in mind, the Cock-a-dobby siren site still has that mysterious 4th box in the back corner of the compound. I believe this to be a telephone junction for the surrounding houses, as well as where the sirens dedicated phone line comes in, so it definitely isn't going anywhere. Now let's talk about what's inside the control box. Because the sirens produced three signals, a simple ring down circuit can't be used. Because of the age of the system, this leaves the possibility down to something similar to the old Carrier control units that were scattered all over police departments across the UK that were used to warn of air attacks. This system activated with a tone sent over telephone lines and worked similarly to a simple ring down circuit, with the only difference of course being the tone instead on ringing voltage. Now since that tone would only engage one contactor for as long as the tone is present on the phone line, the system alone wouldn't be able to activate multiple signals, especially a special signal such as the escape tone. The most probable way is that their are 4 of these tone receivers in the telephone control box, each independently activated by a different tone frequency, but connected to the same phone line. These receivers are basically the size of a smartphone, so that box would seem oversized for 4 recievers, which lead me to believe that also inside the box is a latching circuit so that the phone line doesnt need to have a constant tone to continue siren operation. Reciever 1 would be the escape tone. Reciever 2 would be all clear. Reciever 3 would be the cancellation circuit. For example of the tones used to activate the signals: a bursting signal is used to wake up the phone lines or "prime" the lines. This was due to the fact that loss of the signal could occur if it was sent too quickly, so the recievers are woken so they are actively listening. Escape: After a few seconds of this priming, a tone (let's use 1700hz sine as an example) would be quickly sent over the phone line. This tone would activate the escape tone relay, and the latching circuit and timer, and would activate the various relays in the small relay box. After the timer cancels out after 3 minutes, it closes a circuit in the cancellation circuit and stops the siren. All-clear: the same thing as escape only with a different tone (say for example a 400hz sine wave) Cancellation: when the specific cancellation tone is received, it activates the cancellation circuit, which de-energizes the latching circuits, and shuts the siren off. Test: when the specific time for "test" is received, it most likely closes the "test" loop-back relay in the mini box, as well as operates a short 3 second timer. The test works by sending the test tone through the phone lines, and having it loop-back to Broadmoor in a hopefully pure sine wave to indicate a successful test of the telephone system. Because of the test function, it's obvious that each siren has the potential to be activated individually. This is all speculation of course, so i can't be sure of it whatsoever. Even though the system has been decommissioned, Broadmoor still isn't ready to officially reveal the activation system, most likely because similar systems like Carstairs still exist and it would possibly be a security issue, and also because BT still might own the activation system, Broadmoor might not know how any of it actually works. I've based all of this on my prior experiences working on sirens, as well as my knowledge of telephone systems, but once again I can't be certain for sure.

The reason for the Bagshot siren not working currently might be because of the fault with the All Clear starting first which is not what Broadmoor would want since it suggests to the public that theres a real escape because of no All Clear following afterwards. Bagshot siren is due for decommissioning anyway so they probably just left it potentially with the power off.

It wasn't that they did the "all clear" first in the first set. One of the air inlet flaps on that siren were broken so you could only hear part of the high/low tone. Probably too expensive to repair so they took them out of service.

Last year they had meetings in village halls (I have a recording of one) explaining the options to the locals. They elected to decommission the "far out" sirens and keep the nearest sirens to the hospital, possibly upgrading them. Then after new hospital is built they will have only one siren, located on the hospital. After this I believe they did a U turn and decided to carry on as they are, and try to maintain the existing sirens to the best they can, hoping to stretch this out for a couple of years to save money (saves them having to do any major work during the change over from old to new hospital).

Hiya Tegan, They were installed in the 1950s/60s with the intention of warning residents in surrounding towns and villages to remain in their homes and keep their children supervised following the escape of a Broadmoor patient. Patients at this hospital are generally dangerous people who need specialist treatment and would be a danger to the public if they were treated in a standard hospital. Some should be in jail but need treatment - their behavour would be a threat to other inmates. When the hospital was originally built, security at the facility was nothing like it is now and some would say the sirens are no longer needed. But they do a job - "to warn". Escapes can never be "impossible", but "more and more unlikely" as security and procedures improve at the hospital. Hope that answers your question :)

bravo!!

As shown in the video, one generates the 'high' tone, the other the 'low' tone. Therefore the red rotor that generates the sound - one has more 'fins' than the other which is the visual difference you noticed. Hope that helps.

I work in carstsairs often They test their alarm every 3rd Thursday at 10am if my memory serves me correct Sounds the very same We got a briefing on what to do if the alarm went off any other time

I've got recent ,never before seen ,up close photos and videos of the trl siren F. If you are interested in seeing them, is there anyway I could send them to you .

Where they are now, used to be the old Fire house! We found a skeleton of a robin in one of the cells, and we joked that it was doing bird!

Here in America the all clear tone actully means severe weather alert and the escape tone means wildfire.

+Comelio Cool, we have nothing like that here. There were sirens dotted around in the 1980s, but they were air-raid sirens. They were removed by the end of the 1980s. It's a shame they didn't leave them there, but just disconnected them. Are any of your sirens motorised, or are most electronic?

All Motors will have ball bearings in them lol, the reason for the long wind down is because of the minimal air resistance in the other rotor which causes the other one to slow down quite a bit. It would take longer if both were closed.

Hey! Could you please find more sirens? I am a huge fan of those videos.

Hiya, thanks for the comment :) Unfortunately there are only 13 sirens and I've done a separate video for each of them. I do have some more footage, but not much, that I will be uploading soon. Also, I am planning on doing an update on these sirens later in the year. But the things is, there is not much that I can add to my existing siren videos. I mean, I've shown where they are and how to get to them, the sirens sounding (in most cases) (by the way, that took months to get them all), so there is not much to add. I wish there was something else I could show because these videos have a lot of interest.

yep - these have been in place since the 60s though. Wonder if any of the parts are still original. The sirens are so old that they probably require a lot of maintenance to keep them working. But not for much longer...!

Seriously? There is no way you will get a drone stuck in the rotor. If you tried to get through the intake the bird screen will stop it and the damper will stop it also because it separates the intake into two and the drone won't fit. Secondly the output ports on the siren will blow the drone away stopping it from getting caught. But if the drone did get caught in the ports then it will no longer be a drone. The Weight of the choppers and the strength of the motor will obliterate it.

+mrmattandmrchay thank you for replying I am very great full for that and I have visited all of them but non off them have gone off except for siren g which was very very loud... Much like you I am very interested in these sirens and I honestly don't know y but what I don't understand is if they have other plans with sirens then y not alert the public and from this video with the bagshot siren did the all clear tone just go off first or was an editing mistake

@mrmattandmrchay

+InstaRage FTW When I edit the siren videos, the footage goes in one long line, then I cut bits out when I switch to the second siren in the video. So everything you see, together with the clock at the bottom is "how it happened" with nothing extended or missing (except when I switch to the other siren in the editing of course). So yes, the bagshot siren did the All Clear before the Escape tone - first time I've seen this. I have a spread sheet if you are interested? Send me your email by PM and I'll email it to you. As it happened, Siren G didn't work the first time I went to it.
