Accessories
For any air whistle or air horn installation, a complete system will require a proper air source (air compressor system), an operating valve, and in the case of electrically operated valves, an electronic horn control or push button. Considering the importance of safety at sea, we suggest incorporating a timing device, such as our model M-511C Control, to automate signaling in restricted visibility.
We also have Ship Bells available.

AIR COMPRESSORS
OPERATING VALVES AND AIR STRAINERS
Several valves are offered for use with Kahlenberg Air Horns and Whistles. Depending on the air requirements of the particular model horn or whistle, valves of particular orifice size should be used. Please see the chart above for appropriate
valves to use with air horns. For Air/Steam Whistles be sure to select a valve with pipe size matching that of the whistle
being used.

Kahlenberg manufactures several signal controllers such as model M-511C, WT-25700-C and M-485A shown at right. These controllers automate signaling in restricted visibility for improved safety at sea. In the case of the M-511C, both light and sound signals can be automated for restricted visibility (USCG Rule 35). Maneuvering codes (USCG Rule 34), and SOLAS General Alarm Code are also included. The Model WT-25700-C adds functionality for SOLAS General Alarm integration, control of multiple horn systems, and integration with sound surveillance systems on larger vessels.
The Model M-485A automates the restricted visibility code for motor and sailing vessels underway and stopped.

Several push buttons are available, all with watertight enclosures. The M-126 is a lighter duty switch designed for use with smaller pleasure craft horn systems and the M-485A Signal Controller. The M-131A Chrome is a bronze chrome plated switch typically used for larger pleasurecraft, while the remaining switches shown are for heavy duty commercial use. All switches except the M-126 are designed for use with either the M-511C or WT-25700 Signal Controllers.
