So I have a mason jar with a syringe glued to the lid. I put alts in there to simulate flights and can generate enough pressure differential sims to 1k to 2k - usually. I hook up xmas lights to stand in for charges and is a good visual for when the charges are triggered. So the procedure is, turn on the alt, put in the jar, attach the lid with the syringe in it and pull out the syringe and push it back in. What normally happens is when I stop the syringe the main light turns on then as I start to push it back in the drogue light turns on.
Now I am testing my newly acquired RRC2+ and RRC3 and both are doing something weird. Both are turning both lights on at the same time after I push the syringe all the way in. Then instead of beeping out an altitude they are just beeping. A lot. Not beeping an altitude - just continuous beeping. So I am thinking my method of testing is flawed but cannot find anything in the manuals for either addressing this continuous beeping. Was wondering if anyone had any insight as to what is wrong here. My suspicion is the test is not developing enough negative pressure to truly simulate a flight but would love it if someone could confirm.
FYI I did email Missleworks with this same question but am hoping someone could provide an answer soon as I am trying to iron some things out.
