Intr oduction 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.
Featur es and Benefits The WS100R of fers 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.
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 .

A voiding Inter ference The WS100R is designed to work in most applications including plasma displays and in areas where CFL lighting and indirect sunight are present. Y ou should avoid locating the WS100R near potential sources of electrical or optical noise, such as light dimmers or low-voltage lights.
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.
Installation If you ar e 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.
NOTE: Cer tain “old work” or “retro-fit” boxes, such as the Carlon B225R, have a plastic “lip” which interferes with the Decora plate screws. This lip prevents you from being able to tighten these screws completely . T o make the clearance nec- essary for these screws, you must remove the parts of the lip causing the interference.
Intellipad W iring See your MSU manual if you are connecting the WS100R with an IntelliPad system. Operation Operation of the WS100R is simple. Stand within the operational range of your WS100R. Aim your hand-held remote at the WS100R and press the button for the desired command.

For specific information on the adjustment and operation of your Niles infrared extender system, please refer to the instruction manual included with your Niles IR main system unit (MSU140, MSU250, MSU480 MSU440Z, IntelliControl ® ).
Eliminating optical feedback In some installations, two conditions combine to cr eate an optical feedback loop. Symptoms can include: poor range, intermittent operation or no operation. The conditions which sometimes combine to create a feed- back loop are: 1.
14 W ALL -M OUNT I NFRARED S ENSOR Identifying the type of inter ference The “flash-back” LED on the fr ont of the WS100R is a useful trouble-shooting aid. The LED should light blue only when a remote command is being received. However , if the LED on the WS100R “flickers”, and the WS100R functions normally , there is no cause for concern.
1. Move the sensor or the sensor cable away from the EMI source or move the sour ce of the EMI away from the sensor or the cable. 2. Connect the Sensor’ s GND terminal to true earth ground (if this isn’t feasible use the main system unit’ s GND terminal).
