What can I do to find out if my Hurricane PMV is likely to be Affected by EMI/RFI?
If you’ve had your Hurricane PMV for a long time and haven’t experienced any unintended motion, it’s not likely
that you’ll have problems in the future. But it’s always possible that problems could arise if you are close to a source
of radio waves. Therefore, it is very important to be alert to this possibility. If you want to find out how well your
Hurricane PMV is protected against EMI/RFI, you can contact the manufacturer and ask about its immunity level.
What can I do to reduce the risk that my Hurricane PMV could be Affected by EMI/RFI?
Here are some precautions you can take:
! Do not turn on or use hand-held personal communications devices, such as citizens band (CB) radios and
cellular phones while the Hurricane PMV is on.
! Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations and hand-held or mobile two-way radios, and
try not to come close to them. For example, if you are in a Hurricane PMV with an immunity level of 20 V/m,
you should remain at least three feet from a hand-held two-way radio and ten feet from a mobile two-way
radio.
! Be aware that adding accessories and/or components, or modifying the Hurricane PMV may make it more
susceptible to interference from radio wave sources. There is no easy way to evaluate their effect upon the
overall immunity of the Hurricane PMV.
What should I do if my Hurricane PMV moves unexpectedly?
If unintended motion or brake release occurs, turn the Hurricane PMV off as soon as it is safe to do so.
