If your site is susceptible to problems with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), particularly
ic
from lightning or radio transmitters, seek expert advice.
compatibility
Strong sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI) can cause:
•
Destruction of the signal drivers and receivers in the device,
•
Electrical hazards as a result of power surges conducted over the lines into the equipment.
