INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Type of Cable
The MS110 connects to the Niles infrared main systems unit or IRH610 sensor expansion hub with an individual home run of CAT 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
Receiving Range and Pickup Angle
The receiving range of the MS110 will vary according to the IR output strength of the remote control being used. Remote strength varies among brands depending on the number and size of batteries used, and how many IR emitters the remote has. 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
We do not recommend this. The cable connected to the MS110 can act as an “antenna” for electrical noise. Locating the MS110 cable too close to a light dimmer or switch may interfere with the MS110. If you must locate the MS110 near electrical devices, install it in a separate metal electrical box, ground the box to the electrical system ground, and route the MS110 cable several feet away from all electrical wiring.
Avoiding Optical Feedback
Niles IR Flasher
Stereo Receiver
The MS110 is compatible with all current Niles infrared systems. It may be used along with, or as an alternative to, the Niles TS110, WS110R, MS210 and CS110 sensors or the IntelliPad®.
The MS110 is just one part of the three building blocks necessary to complete a Niles IR repeating system:

MS110 Mounting Location
The MS110 is ideal for use in applications when tabletop, ceiling, or
controls have shown that the operating range can vary from a minimum of 20’ to a maximum of about 75’.
Infrared signals travel essentially
If installing the MS110 in the same room as an IR flasher, it is possible for the flasher’s IR output to be

NOTE: Some types of speaker grilles will reduce the IR pickup range of the MS110. If unsure, test
the pickup range before permanently installing the MS110 behind the speaker grille.
The IR pickup angle of the MS110 is 60°
Avoiding Electrical Interference
Avoid locating the MS110 near any potential sources of electrical or optical noise, such as light dimmers,
Do not install the MS110 into electrical boxes with 110 volt devices
Some states or municipalities allow devices such as the MS110 to be installed into the same electrical box as 110 volt devices, provided a “low- voltage partition” is used between the devices.
