DIY double zone ride

Hi guys, Im working on a DIY 2 zone ride. I cant get it working good, I think the issue is that both piezos are triggering no matter where I hit the cymbal, but couldnt find how to confirm this.
The ride is acrylic 4mm, one piezo under the bell and the other close to the edge. Both piezos are 22mm and they are attached with double face tape. The TRS is tip/sleeve for the bell and ring/sleeve for the bow.
Also the hitting zone is covered with rubber.
It behaves weird, a hard hit close to edge reproduces only the bell sound, and sometimes (could find really when) the bow sounds like a crash/edge.
Not sure if it is a wrong setting on the module or with the triggers.
Thoughts?

Thanks.

hi

it s normal it dosent work ...

2 box cymbals are piezo/switch design ... you need just one  piezo in the bell , and a switch for the edge ...

Thanks for the reply.
So, do I have any option for my already-made, double-piezo no-switch ride? I would like to have just bell and bow. Is it possible to achieve with any config?

just wire the bell piezo to tip and sleeve of the jack , and chose 3 zone mode .. you ll have bell bow , but no choke and no crash sound ...

thanks - I couldnt find how to set 3zone mode, where is that?
