equipment, guidelines are given in the installation instructions, to enable you to ensure minimum interaction between different items of equipment, i.e. ensure optimum Electromagnetic Com- patibility (EMC).

•Always report any EMC-related problem to your nearest Ray- theon dealer. We use such information to improve our quality standards.

•In some installations, it may not be possible to prevent the equip- ment from being affected by external influences. In general this will not damage the equipment but it can lead to spurious resetting action, or momentarily may result in faulty operation.
