Berry College, located in Rome, GA, maintains a small outdoor warning siren system comprising of 4 i-FORCE STi-1600 sirens.
History
Berry College used to have a single siren, located in the cupola of Herman Hall. The siren has been described as “mechanical sounding”; however, it was never tested, nor could it be seen from the outside. It is unknown if it still remains today. The new system consists of 4 ASC i-FORCE STi-1600 sirens, which were chosen because of their voice capability. The campus brought out an ASC demo unit in order to test the different models during the Spring of 2014. The current sirens were installed over the summer of 2015 at the locations where the demo unit was tested. Currently, there are 4 sirens on the campus: 3 on the main campus and 1 on the mountain campus.
Schedule
The sirens are tested once a month on the 1st Friday at 11:55 AM in hi-lo and voice, supposedly rain or shine.
