Today I installed and wired 20 8' florescent strip lights at a clothing store. 10 on each side running the length of the store. 4 circuits, 5 lights on each circuit. Circuits leave panel in thier own raceway. When I turn on the lights, it causes the EAS to alarm.
I had a service call a few weeks back for the same clothing store chain, different store location. The EAS at this particular store was acting the same way. A technician at the clothing store's central office told me that the EAS needs to be on it's own circuit, with an isolated ground. At this particular store it was on it's own circuit with an isolated ground but was still acting up. I never knew what became of that particular issue but having this happen today as stated in the first paragraph I got reminded of it.
What could be causing this interference? Is there something on my end that I need to be looking at or is it a common problem with these EAS equipment?
I cant bill the customer for these lights until I find out what is causing this problem.
