PROception proWSS1 Installation And Operation Instructions

Safety Instructions

OVERHEATING
The recommended ventilation clearances and other precautions given in the relevant section
of this instruction leaflet should be observed to prevent overheating. No unit should be
fixed where it is likely to become smothered by soft furnishing fabrics such as curtains, or by
thermal insulation material in a roof space or building void. Mains powered equipment
should not be left resting on a carpet.
WATER AND FIRE RISKS
The appliance is not waterproof. It is intended for indoor use only and must not be fixed
where it could be exposed to dripping or splashing water. Objects containing liquids should
not be placed on or near the appliance.
To prevent risk of fire, no object with a naked flame should be placed on or near the appliance,
or its associated wiring.
MAINS POWER SUPPLY UNITS
The power unit(s) supplied as part of this appliance are suitable only for use with 13 A
sockets to BS 1363. Consult a qualified electrician if the socket outlets in the location where
the appliance is to be installed are of a different type.
FIXED WIRING
Any fixed wiring installed to supply power to this appliance should comply with BS 7671 (IEE
wiring regulations, 16th Edition). The appliance power units are of Class 2 construction and
do not require a protective earth connection. This does not obviate the need to provide a
circuit protective (earth) conductor in the supply wiring, as required by BS 7671.

defect within a period of 2 years from the date of supply to the end-user.
This guarantee does not cover damage to the product caused by abuse, tampering, defective
installation or natural causes such as lightning discharge. Repair or attempted repair, other
than by the manufacturer, will render this guarantee void.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
The proWSS1 provides a short-range licence-exempt wireless AV link. It can be used to
transmit video, and accompanying stereo audio, from any source which provides standard
baseband outputs (audio and composite video). This product must not be used to provide
an audio-only link.
The proWSS1 system includes a wireless infrared remote control return link. This allows
an AV source to be operated remotely, using its usual handset. The link can also be used
to control ancillary equipment such as a separate satellite dish positioner, or a SCART
switch (for source switching).
In these instructions the equipment providing the AV signal to be transmitted is referred
to as the AV source. The receiving end of the link is referred to as the remote location. To
use this product the TV in the remote location must have at least one AV input (SCART
socket or phono sockets).

Examples of AV sources

Video cassette recorder (VCR) or DVD player.
n
PC tuner cards or TV-OUT from graphics card.
n
CCTV camera.
n
Digital TV receiver boxes.
n
Cable TV boxes, analogue or digital (see note below regarding remote control
n
compatibility with digital cable boxes).

Application examples

Watch VCR, DVD or satellite TV in a bedroom, study or on children’s TV without extra
n
wiring.
Baby monitoring.
n
Monitor a remote security camera on a TV in the house.

Limitations

The proWSS1 does not take the place of a wired aerial distribution system. It can only
transmit one AV source at a time. It works with video and audio signals and not with the
RF signals from an aerial. The TV at the remote location still requires an aerial connection
for watching normal off-air TV.
The proWSS1 must not be used to provide an audio-only link. (This is a legal
restriction related to licence exemption, rather than a technical limitation.)
The remote control extender system is compatible with many manufacturers’ products,
but universal compatibility is not guaranteed. The remote control extender system in this
product is not compatible with some digital cable TV boxes in the UK.
Users should be aware that wireless links may not be secure. A neighbour using the
same or similar equipment may be able to receive and watch your AV source material.

Operating range

The proWSS1 system is intended to be operable over a range of a few metres in buildings
of standard masonry and timber construction. In practice the usable operating range will
vary considerably, depending on the nature of building materials and other obstructions
between transmitter and receiver. Large metallic obstructions, such as foil-backed
plasterboard, will cause a screening effect and may reduce the usable range considerably.
