Why did the horns go off and on instead of running constant???   He connected a straight relay, not a cycling one.

The Alarm sends a signal to the Relay and that sounds the alarm.

Then the signal stops and the horn stops.

Then the signal comes again.

I am going to try it.

Status: offline 		You are failing to understand the electronics he tied into.

You do realize that the alarm sound coming out you your horn is not on a Tracer Program right? It is a Circut that Opens and Closes allowing for a cycle to occur that gives you the second or so blast and then silence for a second or so.

The Horns he used will Stay on with a continual power source but he ran everything through the Clock.

Seriously, it seems you are failing to see how it was rigged and assume he By-Passed the clock. When it reality he simply replaced the Internal Speaker of the Clock and replaced it with the Horns. The only reason he used the relay was to conect the two together. There is a Possibility that the speakers on the alarm clock were also Dual Speaker each emitting a different sound, and the reason for the two horns is to make it sound like the original Clock.

Don't take my word for it go make it. I did something similar when I hard wired my Alarm clock to a Head set to not wake up the roommates when I went on the Grave shift. When I did that I got Stereo Tones one beep was in one ear and the other beep was in the other.

Status: offline 		He had the two horns blowing in unison, understand ? They are not speakers. The wires in the clock to which he spliced were after the 'timer' section which gives the on, off. Most likely he just rectified the output from the speaker wires to activate the relay through a simple transistor. Whatever connections he used, for one they could be anything, and we don't know how he figured out which ones to use.

Nice though, because everything is now made for an ad hoc purpose for a very finite time. (planned obsolesence)
