Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) Mitigation
General
The LWP may cause interference to radio receivers when operated within 50 feet (15 meters) of the system. The
following steps are provided to assist in mitigating any possible interference that may occur.
During Set Up of the system
1. Make sure all connectors and cables are securely fastened to the equipment
2. Make sure all grounding lugs are connected and tight.
3. Run all electrical and signal cables along the chassis frame and along the ground when connecting
separate pieces of the system. Cables hanging out in the air between units have the potential to radiate
much higher levels of interference.
4. Opened control panel can be a prime source of interference. Close all panels and replace all mounting
screws or hardware. Each mounting screw provides a better electrical connection between the panel and
the chassis.
During Operation of the System
1. Move the radio away from the LWP if interference is noted.
NOTE
The interference is to the receiver of the radio and not the transmitter. The message will still be transmitted even if
the incoming messages are not received.
2. The interference is dependent upon the terrain, foliage, etc; determine the acceptable separation by
moving incrementally towards the LWP while communicating on the radio until the operation becomes
undesirable.
3. If communication is critical, the LWP system can be powered off as a last resort.
