2. Optical or Electromagnetic Interference
Direct sunlight, reflections, neon signs and other sources of infrared light or television sets, light dimming controls and other sources of electromagnetic fields can induce noise and interference into your IR extender system. Symptoms can include: flashback LED’s continuously flickering or on without any remote control use, poor range, intermittent operation or no operation.
Solution: To eliminate EMI try the following methods:
1.Move the sensor or the sensor cable away from the EMI source or move the source of the EMI away from the sensor or the cable.
2.Connect the Sensor’s GND terminal to true earth ground (if this isn’t feasible use the main system unit’s GND terminal).
