ahwman Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Currently, I have my PLM plugged into a FilterLinc which is then plugged directly into an outlet and wonder if that is an accepted practice. Thanks, Chuck
paulbates Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Hi Chuck I don't recommend that. It will block the messages to and from the plm and your device... on the powerline. If its working, its because the PLM is talking through other dualband devices The filter is better used on things that you think might be causing noise. Paul
jerlands Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Hi Chuck, I think you're asking about piggy-backing the PLM onto the pass-through which should be ok.. Jon...
ahwman Posted September 12, 2015 Author Posted September 12, 2015 Yes John, I should have mentioned that I have the PLM plugged into the pass-through of the FilterLinc and wanted to be sure that was an accepted practice.

That is fine, so long as the area (environment) and load fall with in specifications. The 2413S PLM has a very long history of burning up due to bad capacitors. Given these parts are sub par any additional heat will speed up the *drying out* of the dielectric compound with in the capacitor. It should also be noted *piggy backing* devices are never supported or advised from manufacturers.
Brian H Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 That is how mine is set up. UPS on the filtered outlet and PLM in the front pass through unfiltered outlet.
