  • Reroute wiring: Keep sensor cables away from high‑voltage or high‑current conductors to reduce interference.
  • Check cable integrity: Replace any sensor cable with damaged insulation or shielding.
  • Ferrite or filtering: If recommended by Oso, fit ferrite beads or filters to the sensor leads to reduce noise.
