Avoiding Interference

The WS100R is designed to work in most applications including plasma displays and in areas where CFL lighting and indirect sunight are present. You should avoid locating the WS100R near potential sources of electrical or optical noise, such as light dimmers or low-voltage lights.

Avoiding Electrical Interference

Avoid locating the WS100R near any potential sources of electrical or optical noise, such as light dimmers, low-volt- age lights, and neon lights.

Avoiding Optical Feedback

If installing the WS100R in the same room as an IR flasher, it is possible for the flasher’s IR output to be picked-up by the WS100R. 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 MF1or MF2 flashers and cover them with the supplied IR blockers.

Changing the Color of the WS100R

The Decora-style insert on the WS100R is removable, allowing fast and easy color changes as needed. Inserts are available in a variety of colors.

If you need to change the color of the WS100R:

1.Obtain the WS100R Decora-style insert in the desired color from your Niles dealer.
