It can be taken out, but before you do, check to make sure that it's not going on the fritz when you have your fluorescent lights on. A bad ballast can mess with that system pretty easily since fleet wood cut a few corners on the thought process. Happened to us! Just be aware that if you remove it, nothing will work since everything is designed to work off 12v signal from that system, not to mention the load shedding capability.

The exact same thing happened to me. Replacing fluorescent lights with LEDs cured all problems that I thought was in the Intellec system. A bad ballast, even with light still operating, can wreak havoc on 12v controlled items via backfeed.

I know this is an OLD thread but thankfully I ran across it while trying to troubleshoot the Intellitec Powerline EMS in our 2004 Itasca Sunrise motor home. I spent the better part of the day trying to figure out why I was getting such wonky readings on our display when my wife, in her perfect innocence, asked why it only happened when she flipped the switch for the fluorescent lights. I thought there was absolutely no way they could be connected since the lights worked perfectly but, lo and behold, that turned out be be the case!

Fortunately, I had purchased everything needed to replace them with LED strips a couple of months ago but just hadn't gotten around to changing them for some reason or another. Anyway, I switched them all out and, Bob's your uncle! Worked like a charm!!
