3. WIRING CONSIDERATIONS:
– Don’t power the controller or lights until all connections are made. – It is recommended that strain relief be added on all wires to prevent any damage to the lights. – If fuses are not included on the ARGB controller then ITC recommends including fuses on each zone output (+) wire. – If installing a flexible lighting product, do not install the end caps in the mounting track or it may damage the light. – To test the lights, select the single color fade for each of the colors, red, green and blue on the ITC Lighting app. This test will show
whether there are wiring issues.

Installation Considerations for Preventing EMI Noise
WHAT IS EMI NOISE? Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is any unwanted signal which is either radiated(thru air) or conducted(thru wires) to electronic equipment and interferes with the proper operation and performance of the equipment.
All electrical/electronic components that have varying or switching currents, such as RGB lighting, create Electromagnetic interference (EMI noise). It is a matter of how much EMI noise they produce.
These same components are also susceptible to EMI, especially radios and audio amplifiers. The unwanted audible noise that is sometimes heard on a stereo system is EMI.
DIAGNOSING EMI NOISE If EMI is observed the following steps should help isolate the problem.
1. Turn off LED light(s)/controller(s) 2. Tune the VHF radio to a quiet channel (Ch 13) 3. Adjust the radio’s squelch control until the radio outputs audio noise 4. Re-adjust the VHF radio’s squelch control until the audio noise is quiet 5. Turn on the LED light(s)/controller(s) If the radio now outputs audio noise then the LED lights may have
caused the interference. 6. If the radio does not output radio noise then the problem is with another part of the electrical system.
PREVENTING EMI NOISE
Once the EMI noise is isolated the following steps can be used to help prevent and lessen the effect of the noise. CONDUCTED & RADIATED SOLUTIONS GROUNDING (BONDING) : How each component is connected and routed to power ground is important. Route the ground of sensitive components back to the battery separately. Eliminate ground loops.
SEPARATION : Physically separate and mount the noisy components away from sensitive components. In the wire harness, separate the sensitive wires from the noisy wires.
FILTERING : Add filtering to either the device creating the noise or the sensitive device. Filtering may consist of power line filters, common-mode filters, ferrite clamps, capacitors and inductors.
RADIATED SOLUTIONS SHIELDING : Shielded cables can be used. Shielding the component in a metal enclosure is also an option.
If you continue to experience EMI issues please contact your ITC sales representative.
