Most security systems will incorperat the option of using a siren or the vehicles horn.

 

This option is strictly the preference of the installer.

 

You should however, consider the advantages or disadvantages of both before installing or connecting you're sounding device of the security system.

The siren of a security system is simply a speaker with circuitry and an amplifier built in an enclosure that is designed to keep moisture and heat out while producing a loud output of verabal tones to deter thief.

 

The sire and consists of two wires ,one negative and the other a positive.

 

Wiring it is quite simple, as the negative wire will be grounded to the same screw that is used to mount a security siren and the posotive wire will be routed from the engine compartment into the firewall and into the vehicle itself, as seen on the image below.

 

There are several things to take in consideration when installing your siren.

 

Always point it down to the ground to eliminate or reduce moister and other contaminants entering into the throat of the siren.

 

Always keep the siren far away as possible from any heat source of such as the exhaust manifold , radiator , etc.

 

 When installing the siren try to avoid as many objects in front of the siren, as to maxamizez the sound output that leaves the engine compartment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Vehicles Horn

The easiest way to add a sounding device to any car security system is by using the vehicles horn system.

 

Most security systems will have the option to use the vehicles horn. or siren. this is typically in the form of a single wire having a negative pulse output to activate horn.

 

The most common place to find the wire that goes to the factory horn is right below the steering column. for more detailed vehicl spcific information about wwire location coloer and polarity visit; Wiring diagrams directer.

 

Caution!

There may be several wiring harnesses going into the steering column, one of which will be the airbag deployment wires. Be sure you have identified the correct wire color before testing with a test lite to verify vehicles horn activation wire.
