UPS interference... Should I use a FilterLink?

Recommended Posts

I installed a UPS system today which has my Bell modem and router, my home router, and my ISY on it. My PLM is on the same circuit. Then tonight I noticed that none of my ISY programs are working!

I took the ISY and PLM and moved them to another part of the house but starting up my Admin Console has been taking a long time!

I'm guessing that the UPS device is causing the problem... Can I plug the UPS into a FillterLink and will that help?

A UPS on the electrical circuit would have no baring on the AC operating or being accessible.

That sounds more like a network related issue.

Depending on the type of UPS it surely can impact the Isteon power line signal though.

Thanks for the replies... 

As it turns out I did a few things yesterday that caused my problems! I actually installed 2 UPS backup devices, and I replaced an incandescent bulb in a lamp with an LED bulb... but the LED was non-dimming and the lamp was being controlled by a LampLinc! 

Fortunately, I had purchased several FilterLinc devices several years ago that I had never had a need to use... so I pulled them out and plugged the UPS's into them. It was after this that I realized by LED bulb issue! I actually managed to mess up another Lamplinc before I remembered that I had replaced the bulb! My LampLinc was no longer responding! Interestingly, I did the diagnostics on the device and the Links Table showed 4 'Record Mismatch' and 27 "Extra Record" links! 

I was finally able to get both LampLinc's working again by deleting them and then Linking them again with  "Remove existing links"... even after that though I had to restore the device several times before the diagnostics were clean!
