concerning the Buzzer maintance you have to re-adjust it properly evry
50hrs or so; best done on a bench with a Multimeter and a stabilized
Voltage of 24V!
This is a bit tricky to do on the plane.
I take my buzzer out, dismount the contacts, clean them thouroughly with
a file (no holes, craters etc), reassemble and then adjust the gap to
the correct Amp. value (max 1,0Ah).
Take care when re-mounting the spring-contact that both contacts are
100% aligned and parallel to each other!
Adjusting the gap is done the following way:
* you need a 24V transformer (best with selective Amps) and an
Multimeter to read Amp
* put +24V on contact 3 or 1 and ground on contact 2 or 4
* have your Multimeter set to measure Ah (0-5Ah) and connected into the
circuit
* set your transformer to 24V and limit to max 2,0Ah!
* turn on the transformer with 24V and check the Ah (do not let it on
more than 20sec, otherwise the buzzer will get too hot!)
=> the correct Ah should be 1.0Ah (+/-0.2Ah)!
* to achieve the correct 1.0 A-setting, you have to bent very slightly
the moving part of the spring-contact with a small plier!
=> bending the spring in direction of the fixed contact will increase
the Ah
=> bending the spring away from the fixed contact will reduce the Ah
Hope this helps!
