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 18' 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 WS100R.

The IR pickup angle of the WS100R is 30° off-axis (horizontal and vertical) at 18'.

Junction Boxes

The mounting depth of the WS100R is 1-1/4". When installed, the unit extends 3/4" behind the sheetrock wall (assuming 1/2" sheetrock). Suitable electrical boxes are available from your Niles dealer or local electrical supply company.

DO NOT INSTALL THE WS100R INTO ELECTRICAL BOXES WITH 110 VOLT DEVICES.

Some states or municipalities allow devices such as the WS100R to be installed into the same electrical box as 110 volt devices, provided a “low-voltage partition” is used between the devices. We do not recommend this. The cable connected to the WS100R can act as an “antenna” for elec- trical noise. Locating the WS100R cable too close to a light dimmer or switch may interfere with the WS100R. If you must locate the WS100R near electrical devices, install it in a separate metal electrical box, ground the box to the electrical system ground, and route the WS100R cable several feet away from all electrical wiring.
