I recently found a pretty great deal on a PCS SPR-1 (wire in model) and decided "Well, can't hurt". My house is larger than the 5K sq ft suggested install, has 2x 200A panels (each with sub panels). UPB is pretty reliable, but every once in a while (once a week or so) I notice something misses a command from my CQC system. Most of these missed commands seems to be from switches on the panel without the PIM. It is on the opposite side of the house and the PIM.
Also, I just installed a couple small appliances, none of which I'm willing to get rid of. I basically outfitted a kitchenette in the theater with a dishwasher, new mini fridge, and a Breakmate soda machine. I put a Simply Automated noise filter on the Breakmate since it's old and who knows what kind of noise it was introducing.
Enter the SPR. I installed it using the only 220v circuit on the panel (the rest were 240v with no neutrals) in the trouble part of the house. The 16 page PCS document really didn't indicate an ideal location besides near the panel. After installing the SPR into UPStart, everything went haywire. 6 switches were missing and noise and comm tests failed with those switches. I switched the sensitivity, nada. I swapped the legs of the SPR, nada. The switches that were missing seemed to be on the subpanel of the PIM. All my switches are of the Simply Automated US-240 variety.
Any suggestions on what I did incorrectly or something to try to correct it? I upped the multi-packet delivery one at a time (from default of 2) with no better results. I kind of wish the user manual had more details about where to install in relation to everything else, rather than an explanation of the waves produced from noise and UPB signals.
