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 controls have shown that the operating range can vary from a minimum of 20' to a maximum of about 30'.

Infrared signals travel essentially line-of-sight. They will not pass through or around solid objects. Do not rely on an IR signal being able to “bounce” off a wall or object to the MS100.

The IR pickup angle of the TS100 is 30° off-axis (horizontal and vertical) at 20'.

Avoiding Electrical Interference

Avoid locating the TS100 near any potential sources of electri- cal or optical noise, such as light dimmers, low-voltage lights, and neon lights.

Avoiding Optical Feedback

If installing the TS100 in the same room as an IR flasher, it is possible for the flasher’s IR output to be picked-up by the TS100. This effect, known as an optical feedback loop, can cause erratic operation. Optical feedback is similar to acoustical feedback: the howling or whistling sound heard in a P.A. system when the microphone is too close to the speaker. To avoid optical feedback:

1.Re-position the flasher(s) and/or the sensor.

2.Use Niles MF series flashers and cover them with the supplied IR blockers.
