Introduction

An infrared (IR) extender system enables you to control your IR remote controlled A/V equipment from a remote location. This enables you to place your A/V components out of sight (behind cabinet doors, in the rear of a room, or in a different room) and still conveniently operate your equipment.

Installed at the equipment location, the MSU480 receives the IR commands transmitted from your existing hand-held remotes in that room. The commands are carried via a small category 5 cable to your A/V equipment in another room, and instantly “repeated”.

The MSU480 is compatible with all current Niles infrared sys- tems. It may be used along with the Niles TS100, MS100, MS200, WS100, MVC100R and CS100 IR sensors or the IntelliPad®.

The model MSU480 is an IR Main System Unit. It is one of three elements that make up an infrared extender system:

•IR Main System Unit—Models MSU140, MSU250, MSU480 and MSU440Z.

•IR Sensors/Keypads—Models WS100, TS100, WS100, MS100, MS200, CS100, MVC100IR and the IntelliPad.

•IR Flashers—Models MF1, MF2, MF1VF, MF2VF and the IRB1.

An IR sensor expansion unit, Model IRH610, is available for IR repeater systems used in more than six rooms.
