Step 11Hook Up Wireless Controller

Hook Up Wireless Controller
Simply crimp on the 3ft lamp cord to the Pneumatic Valve. Now the Westinghouse Wireless Remotely is not the best for this prop, but for the price it does ok. The problem is you would like a momentary push button control that only holds the valve open as long as you hold down the button. This controller is for turning on Christmas lights. So it has a separate on and off button. If your are operating this from an air storage tank, this can waist a lot of air if you leave the valve on. So be warned.

Now the Pop up is now ready to use and install in your trash can. You may want to paint some of the items black, but do not paint the portion of the 1/2" PVC that goes inside the 3/4"PVC. This will cause sticking. Now the rest of this is installing an optional screaming device. So if you are still with me, here is the process.

maybe make a motion sensored light so when you walk by it it triggers the valve
