G19 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I live in an apartment and the powder check buzzer is quite loud. I don't have much ambient noise in my place, so I'd hear the buzzer even if it were turned down a bit. Is there any way to attenuate the volume of the buzzer? I realize I could remove the powder check die altogether, but since I've got it, I'd like to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prebaned Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) I put two layers of blue painters tape over the speaker grill and trimmed it with a razor. Looks like it was made that way and it is 59% quieter. Sent painfully from my iPhone 5 using Tapatalk Edited May 18, 2014 by Prebaned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorfish Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I put two layers of blue painters tape over the speaker grill and trimmed it with a razor. Looks like it was made that way and it is 59% quieter. Tried this same thing and was only able to get to 57.9% quieter. Seriously though, I love solutions like this... simple, inexpensive and the results look professional. Nice Tip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prebaned Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Was a iPhone typo. Meant to type 50 but 59 came out which is probably closer anyway. Sent painfully from my iPhone 5 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it's not like it buzzzzz all the time.What once during a loading session. I'm in the setup phase, so there's a whole lot of beeping going on.

kneelingatlas Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 You could replace the speaker with an LED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmorris Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I wired directly into both the PC die and low primer alarm on this machine. http://s121.photobucket.com/user/jmorrismetal/media/VIDEO0114.mp4.html Just using the switches now, no batteries or buzzer.

Henny Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 If your concern is buzzing during setup, just remove the powder check rod. To set up the powder check rod, that should only be 2 or 3 beeps at the most. I do like the idea of the painters tape too! Simple, cheap and effective!
