Is My Elite Direto Defective? Beep, Beep, Beep...

[lnh62]

Just setup my trainer last night and was thinking it was defective because of the beeping. I've seen other posts on this forum where this was considered normal behavior. I have no way of knowing if what I'm experiencing is the same as other users so I made an audio recording with a picture of my setup produced into a YouTube video primarily for the purpose of sharing to audio. It can be found at: https://youtu.be/VI9yLhjwcHo.

The recording was done at a distance of 3 feet (~1m) and the only audio post processing was to amplify the entire segment to improve the volume range. Nothing was done to deferentially increase the volume of the beep frequencies.

If this is consider normal, I'd hope Elite can address the issue with a firmware update.

I confirm you that this sound is normal.
It is due to the characteristics of the internal motor that adjusts the resistance.
