The Williams Sound Infrared System
should not be installed outdoors or indoors
where there is considerable direct sunlight.
Sunlight generates infrared interference.
Certain types of high-efficiency
fluorescent lighting use 100kHz
modulation that can also interfere with
infrared systems.
The most important principle to
understand when installing an infrared
system is that invisible infrared light
behaves just like visible light. It does not
pass through opaque objects like walls and
curtains and people. It does pass through
windows and door openings and it can
bounce and scatter off reflective walls,
floors, and ceilings. The IR transmitter
panels cannot be concealed or covered up.
The IR "eye" on the receiver unit cannot
be covered up and works best with a clear
line-of-sight to the transmitter panel(s).
If you are not getting sufficient coverage
with a properly installed transmitter panel,
you need to add one or more additional
transmitter panels.
