Airhorn Only"Horn Ring"

[Gary599]

I have a Touch Master Delta. I do have my Factory Horn. If I place the Touch Master into stage 3, I can use my horn ring to use the siren. My question, and I dont think its possible, I would like to actvate the air horn using the horn ring in place of the factory horn. Is that possible?

You can do a relay set up

Ok, that is above my pay grade, but even if I did have a relay, I don't see anything in the manual that would sound the airhorn on the press of the horn ring.

Sorry I do see a relay in the manual but does that relay allow just the air horn. Currently have grabbed the horning wires from wiring harness.

I have a Dodge Charger Pursuit........ And I wired in the back of the touchmaster to the two wires from the wiring harness without the use of a relay.

The horn ring circuit was never intended to replace the vehicle's horn, it was just a convenient "remote control" for siren features when you need eyes on the road and both hands on the wheel. I came to this conclusion after seeking a way to replace one of my vehicles' horns with the airhorn tone of a Touchmaster. That being said, you can modify one of these sirens to function this way, but it would take some work coupled with knowledge and skill. An easier solution is a relatively more modern siren like a Whelen HHS2200 or similar. Very inexpensive and easily programmed and will do what you need it to.

This would be more easily accomplished using a Unitrol Omega 90, which is a remote amplifier.

Sorry for the late reply. I need lighting control, so I would rather get a siren that can provide airhorn on the steering wheel as well as being able to control some lights.

Is there a remote wire for the activation of the AH? Have it sound WITH your regular horn not instead of...

Wait a minute- why can't the siren be configured to default on power-up (ignition) to HORN RING mode with the selected tone being AH instead of SIREN, independent of the lighting? If the Touchmaster can't the SmartSiren can, and I'm fairly certain the Unitrol 80/480 can too.
