EFS

11/14

As required in the IEC 926 standard (§11.5),

“starters which are interchangeable with glow

starters in accordance with IEC 155 shall contain

means for radio interference suppression, the

effect of which is equivalent to that of the radio

interference suppression capacitor prescribed in

7.12 of IEC 155”.

The EFS starlight-kit is compatible with this 5nF

E.M.I. Capacitor which must be connected directly

across the ASD

™ (between pin 3 “TUBE” and pin

4 “GND”).

On the other hand, this E.M.I. capacitor increases

the striking pulse width of about 55% on positive

temperatures.
