Safety Information

Always prioritize safety during installation and operation. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in injury or damage to the product or vehicle.

• High Sound Level: This horn produces a very loud 150 dB sound. Avoid prolonged exposure to prevent hearing damage. Do not activate the horn near pedestrians or in residential areas unnecessarily.
• Electrical Safety: Ensure the vehicle's power is disconnected before beginning installation. All electrical connections must be secure and properly insulated to prevent short circuits. Use appropriate fuses as specified.
• Air Pressure: The air compressor operates at high pressure. Do not tamper with the pressure relief valve or attempt to modify the system. Ensure all air lines are securely connected.
• Mounting: Mount the components securely to prevent movement or detachment during vehicle operation.
• Ventilation: Ensure the compressor is installed in a well-ventilated area to prevent overheating.

Product Components

The VEVOR 150 dB Train Horn Kit includes the following main components:

• Four Trumpet Horns: Designed for maximum sound output.
• Air Compressor with 6L Tank: Provides the necessary air pressure for horn operation. Features automatic pressure regulation.
• Air Hoses and Fittings: For connecting the compressor to the horns.
• Mounting Hardware: Bolts, nuts, washers, and rubber pads for secure installation.

Setup and Installation

Installation requires basic automotive electrical and mechanical knowledge. If you are unsure, seek professional assistance.

1. Choose Mounting Locations:

   Select a secure, dry, and well-ventilated location for the air compressor and tank. The horns should be mounted in a position that allows for maximum sound projection and protection from road debris and water. Consider under-vehicle mounting for the compressor and horns if space permits.

4. Electrical Wiring:

   Connect the compressor to a 12V power source in your vehicle. It is recommended to use a relay and a dedicated fuse (not included) to protect the circuit. The compressor motor is equipped with overload protection up to 100°C. Ensure all wiring is properly routed and secured to prevent chafing or damage.

5. Test System:

   Once all connections are made, turn on the vehicle's power and allow the compressor to build pressure. Test the horn function. Check for any air leaks or unusual noises.

Operating Instructions

The VEVOR Train Horn Kit is designed for straightforward operation once installed.

• Automatic Compressor Operation: The air compressor features an automatic pressure switch. It will automatically begin pumping when the air pressure in the tank drops below 90 psi and will shut off when the pressure reaches 120 psi. This ensures optimal air pressure is maintained for horn activation.
• Pressure Monitoring: The integrated pressure gauge allows for real-time monitoring of the air tank pressure.
• Horn Activation: Activate the horn via the connected switch (not included). A brief press will produce a short blast, while holding the switch will produce a continuous sound.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and reliable performance of your horn kit.

• Drain Moisture: Periodically drain any accumulated moisture from the air tank using the drain plug. This prevents rust and ensures optimal air quality.
• Check Connections: Regularly inspect all air line connections and electrical wiring for tightness and signs of wear or damage.
• Clean Components: Keep the horns and compressor clean from dirt and debris. Use a damp cloth for cleaning; avoid harsh chemicals.
• Inspect for Leaks: Listen for any hissing sounds indicating air leaks. A soapy water solution can be applied to connections to identify small leaks by observing bubbles.
