Identifying the type of interference

The “flash-back” LED on the front of the WS100R is a useful trouble-shooting aid.

The LED should light blue only when a remote command is being received. However, if the LED on the WS100R “flickers”, and the WS100R functions normally, there is no cause for concern.

If the WS100R does not work, and the LED does not light at all: Test the remote control(s) by operating the A/V equipment directly. Replace the batteries if needed. Double check the cable connections on all WS100R’s Main System Unit and on the IR main system unit. Consult your IR Main System Unit’s manual for more detail.

If the WS100R does not work, and the LED flickers or remains solidly lit: Cover up the Sensor with a piece of cardboard (your hand will actually create electromagnetic interference under some conditions). Observe the IR test LED.

IR Test LED Off:

Optical Interference.

IR Test LED On or Flickering:

Electromagnetic Interference.
