intermittent DB-150 beeps
Posted by BrianK on Thursday, November 17, 2011 6:41 AM

I turned my DB-150 on this morning and receiving several odd responses.

1) The DB-150 will beep intermittently.  There are no patterns to the number of beeps or intervals between beep.

2) My DT-402 throttle will beep every time I turn the control knobs.  

 

Any ideas will be helpful.

The DB-150 has an internal clock that runs down, I think meant to be a 'fast clock' for layout operations.  The beep comes every 20-30 minutes in my own case.  Also, you can turn the encoder knob beeps off if you select the option switch that your manual lists in one of the tables.
