3. Maximum Range between the Remote Control and the Niles IR Sensor is similar to the maximum range between the Remote Control and the A/V component’s IR sensor. Typically a remote control with two batteries will have a 15 to 20 foot range and a remote with four batteries will have a 20 to 30 foot range. - Page 14 Examples include: Figure 7 • Dropping a motorized screen • Activating a television lift • Turning on a voltage controlled switching device (e.g.: Niles AC-3 voltage controlled switched outlet). Installation Simply plug a cable with a 3.5mm plug (tip=positive, sleeve=ground) into the jack labeled “12VDC/200mA OUT- PUT”.

If you must extend the cable from the wall adapter to the MSU480’s status input jack be sure to maintain correct polarity. The tip of the plug should be positive (+) and the sleeve nega- tive (-). Any 16 gauge 2-conductor cable can be used to extend the power status cable up to 200 feet. - Page 17 N F R A R E D A I N Y S T E M N I T Optical or Electromagnetic Interference Direct sunlight, reflections, neon signs and other sources of infrared light or television sets, light dimming controls and other sources of electromagnetic fields can induce noise and interference into your IR extender system.
