software on your SmartNode 4300.
AC Power Mains
If you suspect that your AC power is not reliable, for example if room lights flicker often or there is machinery
with large motors nearby, have a qualified professional test the power. Install a power conditioner if necessary.
Refer to
“Connecting power”

tions and potential electromagnetic interference (EMI) as defined by the
applicable local and international regulations. Ensure that your site is prop-
erly prepared before beginning installation.
