The led should light solid green when status is detected.
  • Page 14 A L L Eliminating optical feedback In some installations, two conditions combine to 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. Both a sensor and a flasher are located within the same room.
  • Page 15 “flickers”, and the WS100R functions normally, there is no cause for concern. If the WS100R does not work, and the LED does not light at all: Test the remote control(s) by operating the A/V equipment directly. Replace the batteries if needed. Double check the cable connections on all WS100R’s Main System...
  • Page 16 A L L Move the sensor or the sensor cable away from the EMI source or move the source 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).
