Nanolux RF Filter Set - Reduce RF Interference
The Nanolux RF Reduction Filter Set reduces both the emitted and conducted RF radiation from Digital/Electronic ballasts. It has come to the industries attention in the last year that virtually every Digital/Electronic ballast does not meet the FCC regulations for the emissions of excessive RF interference. This can have interference effects on radios (AM and FM), televisions, cellular phones, police and fire department communications and Ham radios. The RF interference can be triangulated if someone wantsto identify the source of the interference which may lead to your garden... TWO SOURCES OF EMMISIONS ARE THE PROBLEM Conducted Emissions – This is RF current which is conducted back through the input cord of the ballast and conducted through the lamp cord. The RF interference, which radiates back through the power cord, allows the internal copper wiring of the building to act as a large antenna. Radiated Emissions – These are the electromagnetic fields which are actually radiated out of the electrical wiring. Radiation is a natural consequence of radio frequency current and voltage flowing throughconductors. This allows the cords to act as antenna to transmit the RF radiation. TWO FILTERS REQUIRED INPUT FILTER - The INPUT filter is installed in-line with the IEC input power cord of the ballast. The INPUT filter will reduce the RF levels of any Digital/Electronic power supply to be near or to exceed the FCC required limits of both EMC and EMI. It specifically works on reducing the conducted emissions from traveling back into the electrical wiring of the building. OUTPUT FILTER – The OUTPUT filter is installed onto the output cord of the ballast. The filter uses the standard male plug (if you have an HF ballast, you will need an adaptor). The filter has dual female outlets which accepts both styles. The OUTPUT filter specifically works on reducing EMI from the high frequency signal generated by the ballast traveling through the lamp cord. The output Filter wi
