Well you would have to purchase the air horn which would come with all the nessasary hardware such as the compressor and what not. Then the wire that activates the air horn (this wire would usually be connected to the horn trigger wire in the car or boat or what ever your installing the air horn in) would be connected to the siren output which is a posivtive. If the input to activate the air horn is negative you would use a relay to convert it. Connect the relay as follows:

85 - Ground

86 - siren output wire from alarm

87 - ground

87a - no connection

30 - negative output to air horn

You would then want to go into your programming and set your siren out put to a pulsed output as apposed to a constant output. Before you connect a relay you may also want to check to see if your siren output can be changed to a negative from programming or a jumper.
