Re: [RE-wrenches] RTS interference?

[Allan Sindelar]

Bill, That's the way I have done it for twenty years, more or less. I have never had a communication issue as a result, with any brand or application. Keep in mind that the RTS is simply providing a varying voltage to the sense terminals, not producing a signal that might be corrupted by stray current. The biggest issues I have had have been related to replacement years later - either of the RTS because it failed, or by the need to replace it with another unit because of a system upgrade. Either may require pulling the battery cables, removing conduit seal, or running the replacement outside of the conduit. RJ11 plugs are hard little buggers to pull past bigrubber cables.
