OPERATIONTESTING THE IR EXTENDER SYSTEM
TESTING THE IR EXTENDER SYSTEM
Test your IR extender system by following the three principal guidelines:
1. All components can be operated. Test all of your remote controls for all of your
equipment
2. Operation is consistent. A good test is to repeatedly step from pause to play with
your VCR, CD, DVD, or Tape player remote control. Operation should be identical to
standing in front of the component with the remote control pointed directly at the
sensor window
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 sen-
sor. Typically a remote control with two batteries will have a 15' (4.5m) to 20' (6m)
range and a remote with four batteries will have a 20' (6m) to 30' (9m) range
12 VOLT TRIGGER OUTPUT
The Niles MSU250 provides a 12VDC output that can be triggered one of two ways:
1. The presence of status voltage on the 12VDC status input jack
2. Discrete infrared on and off commands
The discrete on and off commands are available for download at:
www.nilesaudio.com/techsupport. This output can be used to trigger
any device that requires 12VDC to be activated.
