A complete horn kit from HORN KITS includes several essential components to ensure optimal performance. The main parts of a horn kit are the horn itself, an air compressor, an air tank, an air line, a solenoid valve, a pressure switch, and wiring.
The horn is the most noticeable component, available in various designs, from compact air horns to full-sized train horns. These horns determine the volume and tone of the sound. The air compressor is responsible for filling the air tank with pressurized air, ensuring a consistent supply for the horn to function.
The air tank stores compressed air and determines the duration and intensity of the horn blast. Larger tanks allow for longer and louder blasts before needing to be refilled by the compressor. The air line connects the air tank to the horn, allowing air to flow smoothly when activated.
The solenoid valve is an electronic switch that controls the release of air from the tank to the horn. When the horn button is pressed, the solenoid opens, allowing a burst of air to create the loud blast. A pressure switch is used to monitor and regulate air pressure, automatically turning the compressor on and off to maintain optimal levels.
Finally, wiring and mounting hardware are included to ensure a secure and reliable installation. Each component plays a crucial role in delivering the loud, attention-grabbing sound that HornBlasters’ kits are known for.
