Recommendations on noise filter for furnace
« on: December 12, 2007, 11:46:37 PM »

I have found at least one of my signal problems. It looks like my blower on my furnace is putting a lot of noise on the lines. Anytime my furnace fan is on I have problems. As soon as I shut it off and try again everything works fine.  I repeat over and over and always the same result.  What happens is I have a macro set to dim one set of lights and turn off another set. What happens when the furnace is running is the one set dims and then shuts off while the other does nothing.

My question to everyone is what is the easiest to install filter you can reccomend for this situation. I am also in need of a repeater because signal does not reach from my computer room outlets where the CM15A is located to some of the switches. I was planning on using the one that plugs into the dryer outlet.

A repeater isn't needed, but a phase coupler is! True you can get the 2 combined into one but repeaters add additional PLC traffic which many users have had problems with! A better option may be a PLC booster! ;)
Sorry I can't help with the filter problem as I don't use any (or need them as yet)! ;)
