23 hours ago23 hr I want to add a UPS for supporting a circuit with an alarm panel and my cable modem and router. These devices are in close proximity to my PLM currently, and might be difficult to move. I have read on this forum that UPS devices are Insteon signal suckers and blockers. What is the best practice to install the UPS without compromising the reliability or integrity of the PLM function?
19 hours ago19 hr Insteon sells the Power Line Noise filter. It's about the same size package as the PLM. I bring that up because that package size can block a couple of outlets in a confined space electronics cabinet. It does have an unfiltered pass through in the back like the io modules do so one outlet can be recovered. You can also plug a 1ft pigtail into the wall and the filter module into that.It's rated for up to 10amp load so the specs of the UPS and any other electronic items in there that don't exceed that.I'm not sure on how it handles noise vs signal suckers, and which a UPS creates but not sure what the options are. It's a good precaution / insurance to keep things working Edited 18 hours ago18 hr by paulbates
18 hours ago18 hr I have a Insteon FilterLinc with the UPS on the filtered outlet and my PLM in the unfiltered outlet on the front. With no effects I have seen. The FilterLinc is a 10 Amp rated unit and should be fine as long as the UPS has a 10 amp or lower line current rating.
