Connection via Power Strip
If user intends to connect the PLC device via power strip, please follow below reference for better
performance:
- Make sure the power strip does not support a noise filter or a surge protector.
Electrical Interference
Some household appliances may produce noise emission. If noise emission is spread over the electrical
wiring, it will affect PLC performance in the house. For the best results, we recommend to connect an
electrical noise filter with the appliances such as:
• Battery chargers (including cell phone chargers)
• Hair
dryers
• Power
drills
• Halogen
light
• Vacuum
cleaner
• Lights or lamps with touch-sensitivity feature supported
Electrical Wiring
The PLC device delivers data over the existing electrical wiring in the house. Actual PLC data transfer rate
might vary including the transmission distance between two PLC adapters.
Special Care for Business Installation
Due to several uncertainties that might degrade Powerline performance or block its operation, we DO
NOT recommend to install the Powerline devices into business environment. This device has NO
GUARANTEE to operate in a business environment such as offices or factories.
- The transmission distance between two Powerline devices is limited by the noise in the electrical
wiring.
- PLC communication is supported under the same power meter system. Business environment might
include more than one power meter systems and it will cause communication lost among the
Powerline devices.
