:help: Maybe my Attitude monitor is defective, but unless I have the radio OFF and the Pilot-injection is kicked in (below ~2900 RPM) , I cant hear any of my Edge Alerts. If you put your ear next to it, it sounds like a dieing chipmunk, it kinda chirps quietly. Wanting something that sounded like a cool loud beep/alert (i want to have like a space shuttle/airliner kind of warning...haha cuase I think its cool for some reason..., I went to radio shack and bought a little piezo buzzer that makes a somewhat loud (87dB) beep when 12 volts DC is applied to the two wires. I opened up my Attitude, very carefully unsolderd the old beeper from the PCB and soldered in my new beeper. Problem is, it holds a long continuous beep anytime the Attitude is on. Then when the Attitude goes into alert mode, the steady tone from my new alarm changes to the customary pulsing tone. Now...heres what I THINK the problem is. The buzzer will work on anything from 2-28 Volts DC. I think the Attitude is just feeding it a little bit of voltage when its in stand-by, then then feeds it the full 12 VDC when its "alerting". Can I add a capacitor or resistor inline with either the postive or negative wire and maybe make this problem go away? Basically I need to stop the lower voltages from getting to the beeper...then when 12VDC is applied, it can come thru. I think I resistor would do the trick, no? Hopefully one of you intelligent-in-the-electronics-fields fellows has a chance to reply before Radio Shack closes at 9:00!! Many thanks everyone!

Alright I just went out with a voltmeter and measured voltage...its really wierd...the voltage is all over the place. It jumps around between 4 volts and 4.9 volts, regardless of whether in alert mode or not. This is really annoying!!!

Anyone pleaasee???:help:

thanks---Ben

Most of us turn the alerts off :eek: , put the hammer down and let the smoke roll ):h


I usually can't get over 1400* on the pyro anyway.

Topspeed is around 115-120mph so it's still toooo slow for an alert ):h


Myself, I'd send it back in and let Edge check, maybe your buzzer was bad and they'd fix it for free.

So you can definetly hear yours over the engine if it went off?

If its going to require sending it back, I dont know how happy Edge would be...seeing as I opened it to put it in the ATS aluminum mount...

I set it high so it's never gone off.

If no one jumps in I'll try it tomorrow and see what it sounds like.

Edge monitors this board so it won't hurt to give them a call and see what they have to say.

Mine isn't loud enough for me to hear either, so I just turn them off since my wife does hear them. If you come up with an answer let us know.

I would like a little more sound also, maybe Edge will do something if there is enough of a demand.
