INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

Type of Cable

The TS120 connects to the Niles infrared main system unit or IRH610 sensor expansion hub with an individual home run of CAT-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 building and inspection department if unsure about which type of wire is best for your application.

TECH TIP: Wire size is expressed by it’s AWG (American Wire Gauge) number. The lower the AWG number, the larger the wire, i.e., 20 AWG wire is physically larger than 22 AWG.

TS120 Mounting Location

The TS120 is ideal for use in applications when ceiling or wall-mounting is undesirable. Its small size and unobtrusive appearance makes it ideal for installation in existing homes or cabinets with great ease and minimal custom work. Installing the TS120 close to the primary location of the user will ensure best performance.

The TS120 is designed to mount over or under almost any flat horizontal surface. Convenient mounting locations for the TS120 are:

On top of a television set

On a shelf in an entertainment center

Under a shelf in an entertainment center
