I am looking for a solution to a tone out for a Sport EFIS.
Questions:
1. Does the "pin out" for the furture "tone out pin" currently send out a signal?
2. If so, is it ground or positive.
3. Does the tone out silence when acknowledge on the EFIS?
Trying to wire in a tone generator into the mix . I have Sport SX and a remote mounted EIS in a Cozy MKIV.

Re: tone out
You could use the warning light out pin to drive a tone generator, 12 volts equals on, zero volts equals off. Then acknowledging an alarm on the efis would turn it off.

Here is a short video on the Gretz Audio Tone Generator.

Re: tone out
I watch the video and when you ack the alarm the tone continued. If I am wrong does acking the alarm reset it so if a new alarm comes up the tone sounds again?

Re: tone out
Okay
Here is my gripe. The red light is redudant, the EFIS already shows an out of normal condition. What is needed is a tone out. It needs to be ackable and silenced until a new warning is sent.

Yes it goes out with the light. I had multiple alarms.
And I agree. Light is useless. Need voice alerts.

Re: tone out
Warren Gretz emailed me he is working on voice alerts, but not a priority. I told him I would take 3 that voice: canopy, gear, caution. I hope he developes a voice alert. He has several great products that fill a niche in a lot of missing " That would be neat to have" in several products.
Maybe the GRT guys should ask and work with him to come up with some fixes to users wants.
