skymick 0 #1 September 16, 2002 Last weekend my pro-dytter went off at 3'000 (I had it set to go off at 4000, 3000 and 1500) while climbing to altitude in a C-206. Should I worry about this or has this been known to happen with pro-dytters? (On the actual jump it seemed to work fine) Cheers, Mick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymick 0 #3 September 16, 2002 hmmm...shit to be honest i cant remember, it was certainly not the 3rd warning though (the flatline alarm) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jessica 0 #4 September 16, 2002 Low battery warning? Although I think that's supposed to go off at 1K....Skydiving is for cool people only Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhreeZone 20 #6 September 16, 2002 My Protrack batteries last about 3 months/100 jumps... It could easly be a low battery beep.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymick 0 #7 September 16, 2002 nah dont think so according to the manual the alarm should go off at 1000ft for 5 sec, not at 3000ft plus like i said before the low batt light didnt come on and the sound i heard was either the 1st or 2nd alarm (im assuming the low batt alarm the dyteer makes isnt the same as the 1st or 2nd alarms) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Levin 0 #8 September 17, 2002 did you set the pro-dytter in the plane? sometimes when you set it in the plane, in freefall it will go off at higher altitudes than intended. have you contacted l&b? they have some of the best customer service in the industry. if there's something wrong with it they will take care of you. levin vSCR#17, vSCS#3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymick 0 #9 September 17, 2002 I set it in the plane on the previous jump and didnt have a problem with it then, i think ill do a few more jumps with it and if it happens again then ill give l&b a call. Thanx for the help guys. Mick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
