8.5.5  Fault in other 
electrical equipment 
Problem: 
Fault in other electrical equipment, particularly radio and television 
receivers 
Possible cause: 
a) Wiring problems 
Remedy 
  Lamp cables should be short, far enough away ( > 5 cm) from 
  earthed metallic parts and, if possible, not laid parallel to mains 
  cables (particularly in the luminaire). If cross-overs are needed they 
  must be at right angles. The mains cables must also be as short as 
 possible.  
Possible cause: 
b)  Electrical equipment, radios and televisions are inadequately 
 immunity to interference 
Remedy: 
  Increase the distance between the luminaire and the equipment, if 
  necessary, contact the manufacturer. 
Possible cause: 
c)  The IR remote control signals for TV operate at a similar frequency 
  to the ECG 
Remedy: 
  Move the IR receiver ont the TV out of the readiation field of the 
  lamp or disable it. 
8.5.6  Problems at master-
slave operation 
Problem: 
Problems on master-slave arrangements for 2lamp ECGs 
Possible cause: 
 Wiring problems 
 Remedy: 
  Lamp cables should be short, far enough away ( > 5 cm) from 
  earthed metallic parts and, if possible, not laid parallel to mains 
  cables (particularly in the luminaire). If cross-overs are needed they 
  must be at right angles. The mains cables must also be as short as 
  possible. In master-slave arrangements the maximum length of the 
cable to the daughter luminaire must not be exceeded. 
8.5.7 Humingh or 
“chirping” from the 
ECG 
Problem: 
Huming or “chirping” from the ECG 
Possible cause: 
  Non-sinusoidal AC voltage 
Remedy: 
  Eliminate sources of interference if necessari in consultation with 
  the electricity supplire.
