The IR commands are carried via a category 5 cable to your A/V equipment in another room, and instantly “repeated”. The TS100 represents one of the 3 building blocks necessary to complete a Niles IR repeating system: • IR Main System Unit—Models MSU140, MSU250, MSU480 and MSU440Z. • IR Sensors/Keypads—Models WS100, TS100, MS100, MVC100IR, MS200, CS100 and the IntelliPad®. • IR Flashers—Models MF1, MF1VF, MF2, MF2VF and the IRB1. An IR sensor expansion unit, Model IRH610, is available for IR repeater systems used in more than six rooms. TABLE-TOP INFRARED REMOTE SENSOR Features and Benefits The TS100 offers a number of improvements over other table-top IR sensors. • Plasma-proof performance—allows placement of the TS100 near plasma displays. • CFL interference resistant—expands installation flexibility to areas with fluorescent lighting. • Works under most lighting conditions, including indirect sunlight—eliminates environmental restrictions. • Universal system—compatible with virtually all brands of A/V equipment and remote controls. • Excellent IR receiving range—you get 18' to 30' of remote control range (depending upon the strength of your handheld remote). • 100% factory tested for pickup range and angle. • Small size of only 2-7/8" wide x 1-1/16" high x 3-1/8 deep— fits almost anywhere. • Printed circuit board design uses surface mount technology (SMT), assuring high reliability. • Ideal for both home and commercial installations. • Non-skid, non-scratch feet. • Two year parts and labor warranty. 2 TABLE-TOP INFRARED REMOTE SENSOR ”Tech Tip“ Wire size is expressed by it's AWG (American Wire Gauge) number. The lower the AWG number, the larger the wire, i.e., 20 AWG wire is physically larger than 22 AWG. Installation Considerations Type of Cable The TS100 connects to the Niles infrared main system unit or IRH610 sensor expansion hub with an individual home run of category 5 cable. When running wires inside walls, most states and municipalities in the U.S. specify that you must use a special type of wire. Usually, the requirement is that the wire has a specific “CL” fire rating, such as “CL-2” or “CL-3”. Consult your Niles dealer, building contractor, or local building and inspection department if unsure about which type of wire is best for your application. MS100 Mounting Location The TS100 is ideal for use in applications when ceiling or wall- mounting is undesirable. Its small size and unobtrusive appearance makes it ideal for installation in existing homes or cabinets with great ease and minimal custom work. Installing the TS100 close to the primary location of the user will ensure best performance. The TS100 is designed to mount over or under almost any flat horizontal surface. Convenient mounting locations for the TS100 are: • On top of a television set • On a shelf in an entertaiment center • Under a shelf in an entertanment center Receiving Range and Pickup Angle The receiving range of the TS100 will vary according to the IR output strength of the remote control being used. Remote strength varies among brands depending on the number and 3 TABLE-TOP 12V DC power supply (supplied with the MSU250 IR main system unit) plugged into an unswitched AC outlet powers the system Bi-colored LED Removable connector pins Figure 1 Parts guide.

For example, remotes that operate on two small AAA batteries and have only one IR emitter are generally not as strong as remotes that use the larger AA size batteries and have two emitters. Tests with various manufacturers’ remote controls have shown that the operating range can vary from a minimum of 20' to a maximum of about 30'. Infrared signals travel essentially line-of-sight. They will not pass through or around solid objects. Do not rely on an IR signal being able to “bounce” off a wall or object to the MS100. The IR pickup angle of the TS100 is 30° off-axis (horizontal and vertical) at 20'. Avoiding Electrical Interference Avoid locating the TS100 near any potential sources of electrical or optical noise, such as light dimmers, low-voltage lights, and neon lights. Avoiding Optical Feedback If installing the TS100 in the same room as an IR flasher, it is possible for the flasher’s IR output to be picked-up by the TS100. This effect, known as an optical feedback loop, can cause erratic operation. Optical feedback is similar to acoustical feedback: the howling or whistling sound heard in a P.A. system when the microphone is too close to the speaker. To avoid optical feedback: 1. Re-position the flasher(s) and/or the sensor. 2. Use Niles MF ...
