Re: My Wiring 3 Kidde Smokes Together Problem

[Crash Gordon® <NONE@xxxxxxxx>]

No drops, it's not an aerial feed, it comes in underground from the =
tranformer which is about 25 feet away between this house and the one =
next door. The higher voltage induced current is the upper level of the =
home, when we moved the alarm panel from an upstairs closet to lower =
level the voltage dropped considerably...and that's when it became an =
intermittant problem rather than chronic. The voltage was high enough to =
lock up the processor in the panel and also in the keypad!=20

It's gotta be coming through the air. We physically disonnected the =
mains...and still had problem. I mean we completely isolated the house =
from all main connections including service panel ground.

I tell ya it's them fucking Belgiums polluting our air waves with rfi =
muzzling!
