Sonic Horns
Connecting air
supply to sonic
horn
IMPORTANT
Depending upon the application, a receiver tank may be
needed to supply amount of air required to effectively operate
sonic horns. For more information contact Martin
Engineering or a representative.
IMPORTANT
Do not use a lubricated air supply for sonic horns.
1. Apply pipe sealant to all fittings.
2. See Figure 4. Connect 1” lockout ball valve to compressed air source with
desired length of 1” pipe. Look at arrow on side of ball valve to make sure
flow is correct.
3. Connect air filter/regulator to 1” lockout ball valve with desired length of
1” pipe. Look at arrow on side of air filter/regulator to make sure flow is
correct.
4. Connect 1” to 3/4” reducer to air filter/regulator with desired length of
1” pipe.
5. Connect 3-way electrical solenoid valve to 1” to 3/4” reducer with 6” long
3/4” pipe nipple. See Figure 4 for solenoid connections.
6. Connect 3/4” lockout ball valve to solenoid valve using desired length of
3/4” pipe.
7. Connect sonic horn sound generator to 3/4” lockout ball valve using
braided stainless steel hose.
IMPORTANT
For electrical solenoid valve installations, design and wire
electrical solenoid controls according to NEC Handbook.
Electrical push buttons, timers, and programmable
controllers are available through Martin Engineering.
8. For electrical solenoid valve installations, if using electrical solenoid
controller, install according to instructions provided with controller.
WARNING
!
Do not exceed 80 psi (5.52 bar) maximum working pressure.
Minimum recommended pressure for most applications is
60 psi (4.14 bar), but lower pressures can be used. Make sure
air supply is filtered and regulated.
9. Anchor all pipes and wires to prohibit movement.
