Have a Rotax 914 with the secondary alternator but given all the equipment in the plane there's a 7amp negative when under 3000RPM. This means from startup until takeoff roll and after landing until shutdown I'm constantly hearing the "electrical current" audible alert. Is there a way to turn this off or change the setting? Having it triggered by voltage instead of amp draw would be better.
How Can I Turn Off The Electrical Current Audio Warning?

I don’t believe you should not have 7amps negative before 3000 rpm.
I definitely could be wrong but with all the radios, screens, radios, electric fuel pumps and lights I don't think the alternator setup make enough below cruise rpm. It's certainly not uncommon to have the regulators go out but things look real solid at cruise.

What position is your ammeter shunt in? If it isn't already in position A, you might try moving it there. That monitors just the current to your battery, without all the other electrical loads added in. I'm not sure if there's anything in the sensor config file you could change. Maybe someone else could answer that.
