Introduction

The WS100R is a wall-mount, Decora®style IR sensor

designed for use with the Niles infrared extender systems.

Installed in a remote room location, the WS100R receives the

IR commands transmitted from your existing hand-held

remotes in that room. The commands are carried via a

category 5 cable to your A/V equipment in another room,

and instantly “repeated”.

The WS100R is compatible with all current Niles infrared

systems. It may be used along with, or as an alternative to,

the Niles TS100, MS100, MS200, MVC100IR and CS100

sensors or the IntelliPad®.

The WS100R is just one part of the three building blocks

necessary to complete a Niles IR repeating system:

• IR Main System Unit—Models MSU140, MSU250, MSU480

and MSU440Z.

• IR Sensors/Keypads—Models WS100, TS100, MS100,

MS200, CS100, MVC100IR and the IntelliPad®.

• IR Flashers—Models MF1, MF2, MF1FV, MF2FV and the IRB1.

An IR sensor expansion hub, Model IRH610, is available to

provide additional sensor inputs to your system.

Features and Benefits

The WS100R offers a number of improvements over

other wall-mount IR sensors.

•Plasma-proof performance— allows placement of the

WS100R near plasma displays.

•CFL interference resistant— expands installation flexi-

bility to areas with fluorescent lighting.

•Works under most lighting conditions, including indi-

rect sunlight— eliminates environmental restrictions.

•Universal system— compatible with virtually all

brands of A/V equipment and remote controls.

•Excellent IR receiving range— you get 18' to 30' of

remote control range (depending upon the strength

of your handheld remote).

•100% factory tested for pickup range and angle.

•Small size of only 2-3/4" wide by 4-1/2" high by

1-1/4"— fits in a one-gang box.

•Printed circuit board design uses surface mount tech-

nology (SMT), assuring high reliability.

•Ideal for both home and commercial installations.

•Removable Decora-style snap-in color insert.

(Available in four colors).

•Two year parts and labor warranty.

Installation Considerations

The WS100R is a Decora-style module and is designed to use

standard Decora-style cover plates and mounting hardware.

Decora cover plates (up to 6-gang) with color-matched plate

screws are available from your Niles dealer.

Type of Cable

The WS100R connects to the Niles infrared main systems unit

or IRH610 sensor expansion hub with an individual home run

of category 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 build-

ing and inspection department if unsure about which type of

wire is best for your application.

WS100R Mounting Location

Locating the WS100R in the center of a room usually results

in the most even IR receiving coverage, especially if the room

is square shaped. Rooms that are L-shaped or long and

narrow require more careful consideration. With these types

of rooms, installing the WS100R closest to the primary loca-

tion of the user will ensure the best performance.

Receiving Range and Pickup Angle

The receiving range of the WS100R 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 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.

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.

“TECH TIP”

DS00331ACN/WS100R 1/8/04 9:47 AM Page 9

2. Hold the WS100R as shown in (Figure 3). Locate the two

plastic mounting tabs at the top rear of the Decora-style

insert. Using two fingers, simultaneously press both tabs

down (towards the center of the insert) and forward (away

from you) until the insert pops free from its mounting slots.

3. Locate the new Decora-style insert. Hold the WS100R so that

it is facing you. Insert the two bottom tabs into the bottom

slots first, followed by the two tabs on the top. Snap the insert

into place by carefully pressing on the front of the insert.

Using the WS100R with the Intellipad Ci system.

The WS100R is fully compatible with the Niles Intellipad Ci line,

follow the wiring instructions in Figure 4. For specific informa-

tion see your Intellipad Ci manual.

Installation

If you are installing the WS100R into an existing wall,

take time to consider any possible obstructions which may be

hidden inside the wall, such as wood or metal studs,

electrical, telephone or other types of wiring, plumbing,

AC or heating conduit, etc.

1. Locate the connector plug.

2. Strip 1/4" of insulation from the end of each wire.

3. Use a small flathead screwdriver or your thumbnail to raise

the locking tabs, exposing the holes on the removable

connector plug.

4. Insert each wire into the appropriate hole on the remov-

able connector plug, and snap the locking tab down. To

help you, the connector plug is keyed. Insert the smooth

side of the connector plug into the smooth side of the

socket. Don’t force the scalloped side of the connector

plug into the smooth side of the socket. (Figure 5)

5. Use the shorter plate screws to fasten the Decora cover

plate to the WS100R. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN THE PLATE

SCREWS OR YOU MAY DAMAGE THE COVER PLATE. Line

up all the screws in the same direction for a finished look.
