Problems with chhc-1 and elec. ballasts?
- Thread starter Ninja420
- Start date
why do you plug your ballast into the chhc1? i only have my dehuey and exhaust fan hooked up on it, and co2 in future. the ballasts run to a 240v timer box on seperate circuit.
Good question. I'm about to buy one and while reading through the pdf instructions I noticed it said to maintain 8 feet between the two cause some digi's are not properly shielded. Got me thinking twice, although if it says some digi's are not shielded, that should mean some are properly shielded, right?

I've never had RF interference issues with mine.

Not more than a few feet away from the Sentinel.

Thanks RS! Good to know. I figure I'll buy it and make it work if it gives me trouble.The Sentinel looks to be the best deal I can find.
i have a lumatek sitting practically right under my chhc-1...havent noticed anything wrong yet...will update if it does.

The only issue that the electronic noise causes is with co2 readings. I have witnessed this problem first hand. Old (incompetent) partner suggested that the regulator might be bad.....idiot. It explains right in the manual.
Sentinel has corrected this problem with the newer version. You can tell if you have it, as it's got blue covers over each outlet.
Haven't hung my ballasts yet, but going to heed this advice and see if I can avoid this dumb little issue.

I believe the new model is the CHHC-4. A few improvements were made.
