I’m looking to replace my current remote/receiver and was wondering how the KIT-1 handles an area that has pretty significant EMI. Right now, I have a different receiver/remote combo that’s connected to a door maglock and the room in which the receiver is located has recessed LED lighting. Unfortunately, the LED units put out a significant amount of EMI since the manufacturer did not shield them properly.
The problem I’m having is that with my current setup, the receiver has a very hard time picking up the signal from the remote. When the lights are turned on, I’m lucky if I can activate the receiver from 10 feet away (yes, just 10 feet). I don’t know if I just have a really cheap remote/receiver setup or if the EMI is just that bad that nothing will work.
So I wanted to know, if I replace my current setup with the KIT-1, will I have the same issues? Has anyone tested this in an environment that has a lot of EMI? I’d hate to go through the hassle of removing the existing receiver, install the KIT-1 just to find out that nothing has changed. Any info is appreciated.
Thanks,
Ray
