Sprinkler Control System RFI Kit - 5 Filters for AC power, 4 Control linesProduct DetailsBrand: Palomar EngineersUPC: not applicableMPN: RFI-SprinklerCountry/Region of Manufacture: USAThis RFI kit is specifically designed to cure most sprinkler control systems triggered by Radio Frequency Interference problems. The kit contains a large (ID = 1") snap on filter for the AC power Line protection and snap on ferrite beads for 4 sprinkler control lines. (Multiple control lines can go through the same ferrite filter) The ferrites are selected to eliminate RFI from 1 to 300 MHz. The ferrites are easy to use, don’t require modification of the protected equipment and work in almost all cases.
If you need control line filters for more than 4 control line "bundles" order part # FSB31-1/2.

Christmas lights or yard lights with switching DC power supplies are often the RFI source and a clamp on ferrite bead on the AC AND the DC side feeding the lights is needed to help suppress the switching power supply RFI noise. Suitable snap on beads are FSB31-1/2 for the 1-250 MHz range.
We have also had reported wireless HDTV boxes, and FOSCAM and AMCREST security camera systems causing RFI to garage door remote openers. Use our Garage Door Opener RFI kit to suppress the interference to the opener (VICTIM) – you need one kit for each opener. Maximize the distance from the camera to the openers may also help. Additionally shield cable to the garage door sensors may be needed depending on severity of the camera RFI.
Obvious Tech Note: make sure your remote batteries have enough energy to activate the GDO or the signal they transmit may not be large enough to over ride the RFI signal, but a fresh battery may be able to overcome the weak RFI source and allow the GDO to operate correctly.
