The buzzer is only used for the high rpm pressure switch. The low pressure switch just triggers a blinking led. The high switch triggers both. I'm sure this is done so there is no alarm sounding when you have the key on but engine not running. The alarm is loud enough to be heard over all the other sounds while driving so it would be too loud with the engine not running.
