This product is yet another offering from Federal Signal
5/5

If your vehicle is safety related, you cannot afford to skimp on safety. I am looking for a backup alarm that fits all of my work truck needs. I chose the Federal Signal back up alarm. It is loud enough for most environments to attract attention at 97 decibels. some people who were not paying attention to the alarm, so it is always a good idea to double check the As of this review, the alarm has been in place for a week and hasn't failed to hold up to the weather, dirt, and debris. Having said that, I did install a switch so that I can turn off the alarm from inside the cab however, I did not do so before hand. If I'm plowing a driveway in winter early in the morning, some people don't take kindly to the sound of an alarm, so I can turn it off for them when they need to.

Beep, beep, I hear you! This is a great little tool, you simply wire it into the backup light wiring and heat shrink the wires, it works great! As well, the volume is very good

This is a small post, so let me start with that
5/5

There is an ambiguity in the picture and part of the description as to whether one or two of them exist. Your order of one "set" entitles you to one freebie. In view of the fact that that is all I was expecting, I am fine. Buying this as a replacement for a dead ECCO backup alarm was a great decision for me. had thought the swap was simple, but it turned out to be complicated. There is enough volume and a bit of an increase in pitch compared to According to our observations, the posts seem to provide a less prominent channel for the intrusion of water since there is a transition to the epoxy block versus Whether that is true or not will only be apparent as time goes on.
