    INTRODUCTION ® The Niles TS-1 Touch Screen Keypad is designed as an elegant alternative to the IntelliPad Keypads used with Niles Multi-Zone Systems. The TS-1 has an easy-to-read, wall-mounted user interface and is an ideal choice for home areas where the multi-zone system will be used the most (e.g., kitchen, master bedroom, family room, etc.).

    In addition, an IR Sensor and a PROGRAM Jack (for installers) are hidden under the faceplate. The IR Sensor communicates with a (optional) Niles R-4 or R-8 Remote Control so you can conveniently operate the TS-1 at a distance. The PROGRAM Jack allows an installer to set custom features on the TS-1 when using a connected laptop PC and our TS-1 programming software.
