Type of Cable

The MS-1 connects to the Niles Infrared Systems with an individual home run of 2-conductor shielded cable. Recommended cables are Niles data grade IR cable, West Penn D291, Belden 8761, Carol C2516 or equivalent, made of two 22 gauge (or larger) conductors surrounded by a foil shield and a bare drain (ground) wire.

DO NOT USE UNSHIELDED CABLE WITH THE MS-1.

MS-1 Mounting Location

The MS-1 is ideal for use in applications when tabletop, ceil- ing, or wall-mounting is undesirable. Its small size and unob- trusive appearance makes it ideal for installation in obscure, hidden locations, in cabinet facings, or in the “sensor knock- out built into Niles in-wall loudspeakers. Installing the MS-1 close to the primary location of the user will ensure best per- formance.

The MS-1 is designed to flush-mount almost anywhere. Convenient mounting locations for the MS-1 are:

In a cabinet door

In a wall, or wall-plate

Behind a speaker grille*

*Some types of speaker grilles will reduce the IR pickup range of the MS-1. If unsure, test the pickup range before permanently installing
