PLC Quality
Several factors can have an impact on the quality of the communication through the
power lines between the M-Box and the other tiko devices. It is advised to ensure the
following points:
• Plug the M-Box directly into a wall socket, not into a power strip (IMAGE 8).
•
Do not plug in the M-Box near sources of disturbances like: Power supplies (e.g.,
from routers, TV box or LED lamps) and transformers (e.g., for dimmable lamps).
•
Consider filtering the disturbance sources mentioned above using a PLC Filter,
e.g., myStrom Power Line Filter (REF PQFIL1-EU, PQFIL1-FR). A such example
setup is shown in IMAGE 9.
