adjust the pressure switch at the pump a little and it will stop.
Take the small rubber plug out of the top and use and Allen wrench to adjust it.

x2 on what trtturbo stated!

There is also a hi/low switch on the STS harness near the buzzer, you may want to ensure that it is on hi. I have tried it on both settings when under 6-9 psi and with it on low the buzzer went off.

It doesnt do anything to the pump at all. The pressure switch is there only for the buzzer. If too much pressure builds up in the return line, the buzzer goes off. You just adjusted the pressure it takes to turn the buzzer on.
