Page 6: Installation Considerations
N F R A R E D Installation Considerations Placement of the MSU140 Place the MSU140 conveniently close to the equipment it IMPORTANT will be controlling. Generally, the unit is placed in a con- Do not place the cealed location because its controls and indicators are only MSU140 on top used during installation. - Page 7 N F R A R E D Wiring From every IR Sensor location you must “home-run” a category 5 cable back to the MSU140. Home run means that an individual cable is connected between each IR Sensor and the MSU140. See Figure 4.
- Page 8 A cable is run between the keypad and the sensor and a single cable is run from the sensor back to the MSU140. To prevent data feedback an IN4003 Blocking Diode is inserted on the data (IR) line between the Intellipad and the sensor.

Page 9: Installation
N F R A R E D Sensor/Keypad Cable The MSU140 connects to IR sensors and the Intellipad with category 5 cable, with a maximum cable run of 500'. Flasher Cable Niles infrared flashers come supplied with a 10 foot 2-con- ductor 22 gauge cable. - Page 10 120V AC outlet, 50-60 HZ . B) Plug the connector into the socket marked “Power” on the MSU140. C) If the Power LED does not light, test the unswitched 120 VAC outlet, 50-60 HZ with another appliance. If the outlet tests OK, you have a defective power supply which must be replaced for you to continue.
- Page 11 Section beginning on page 14. Route the connecting wire to the IR Main System Unit. Connect the 3.5mm plug into the jack labeled “Flasher Output” on the MSU140. See (Figure 7). BE SURE TO OBSERVE PROPER POLARITY WHEN EXTENDING THE FLASHER WIRE.

Page 12: Testing The Ir Extender System
N F R A R E D Testing the IR Extender System Test your IR Extender system by following these three principal guidelines: 1. All components can be operated. Test all of your remote controls for all of your equipment. 2. - Page 13 Figure 5. By providing 3-30V AC/DC to the status input jack of your MSU140 you can send a status signal to sensors or an IntelliPad without running any additional wiring. Built into the MSU140 is a Niles status signal generator. When the MSU140 sees 3-30V AC/DC at the status jack it broad- casts a status signal over your existing IR sensor wires.

Page 14: Power Status
It is possible to check the status power supply itself and any connections that were made to extend the cable by inserting the status plug into the Power jack on the MSU140. If the Power LED lights the status power supply and connections are ok. - Page 15 N F R A R E D POWER +12V DC FLASHER OUTPUTS MSU140 IR MAIN SYSTEM UNIT INPUT 1 MSU140 Main System Unit IRH610 Expansion Hub Figure 8 Wiring diagram for expanding a system using the IRH610 Infrared Expansion Hub...

N F R A R E D A I N Y S T E M N I T Troubleshooting Guidelines There are three basic problems which prevent proper oper- ation. In the order of probability the problems are: 1.– Bad Connections or Wiring If the connections or wiring are wrong, loose, shorted or open the system will not operate properly. - Page 17 N F R A R E D Solution: To eliminate EMI try the following methods: 1. 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.
