Installation Considerations

The WS100R is a Decora-style module and is designed to use standard Decora-style cover plates and mounting hardware. Decora cover plates (up to 6-gang) with color-matched plate screws are available from your Niles dealer.

Type of Cable

The WS100R connects to the Niles infrared main systems 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 build- ing and inspection department if unsure about which type of wire is best for your application.

WS100R Mounting Location

Locating the WS100R in the center of a room usually results in the most even IR receiving coverage, especially if the room is square shaped. Rooms that are L-shaped or long and narrow require more careful consideration. With these types of rooms, installing the WS100R closest to the primary loca- tion of the user will ensure the best performance.

Receiving Range and Pickup Angle

The receiving range of the WS100R 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
