INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS (CONTINUED)

RECEIVING RANGE AND PICKUP ANGLE

The receiving range of the WS110R will vary according to the IR output strength of the remote control being used. Remote strength varies among brands depending on the number and 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 35’.

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 WS110R. The IR pickup angle of the WS110R is 60° off-axis (horizontal and vertical) at 20’.

JUNCTION BOXES

The mounting depth of the WS110R 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 WS110R INTO ELECTRICAL BOXES WITH 110 VOLT DEVICES.

Some states or municipalities allow devices such as the WS110R 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 WS110R can act as an “antenna” for electrical noise. Locating the WS110R cable too close to a light dimmer or switch may interfere with
