In general, increasing the distance of a sensor from the Room Alert Monitor also increases the chances of EMI causing sensor spikes. Typically, it’s the sensor cable that’s affected by EMI, rather than the probe itself.<\/p>\n
To ensure that EMI is the cause of the issue, AVTECH recommends a series of basic tests.<\/p>\n
\n<\/span>Test for EMI issues<\/div>\n\n\nTo test if EMI is causing the behavior you’re observing:<\/h4>\n
– Remove the sensor and cord from their current location.
\n– Disconnect any extension cords from the sensor.
\n– Connect the sensor directly to the Room Alert Monitor.
\n– Coil up the cord.
\n– Place the cord and probe right next to the Room Alert Monitor.<\/p>\nWith the sensor in this coiled-up state, EMI should be minimized, and spikes in temperature or humidity are typically pacified.<\/p>\n
If this is the case, then the cause of the spikes are, in fact, EMI.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
