Hi,
In addition to the audible signal from the 302 - if you have a 303 it
displays a text message which makes it obvious what the issue is.
I like the Tasman approach because a voice message should be able to cut
through all the beeps already going on in the cockpit. I talked to one user
who installed them in his gliders at his commercial operation. He said the
recorded message was "Lower the Fxxxing Landing Gear!" - in an all out
attempt to get the pilot's attention.
Does anyone have any suggestions for sources of small magnetic reed
switches? I sell mechanical microswitches which I have used in the past and
like, but I can see the advantages to non-contact switching.
Good Soaring,

Greetings all, I am looking for a drawing that depicts the electrical
wiring of a DG-300. Does anyone know of a link or have a basic drawing
of a gear warning system?
If you have a Cambridge 302 vario (or similar), you can connect the gear
and spoiler switches to it to provide the warning. The 302 can also be set
to provide a "spoilers open" warning at the start of a launch (airspeed
triggered). It's the system I use.
