(<3m) and as such do not guarantee that the power supply will not cause interference with devices such as TV’s or radios. The ST20-II/35-II have been designed with equipment interoperability in mind. The emissions are in the order of 10 – 100 times below the regulator requirements (this is expressed in dB (µV)) and greatly reduce the likelihood of causing interference with Radios and TV’s located in close...
