    Built in “Status” generator broadcasts the amplifier “on/off” power status over existing IR wiring to provide power status display when used with other Niles products like the IntelliPad that feature status display LED’s. Screw connectors simplify installation. Printed circuit board design assures high reliability.

    By combining an optional Niles 12vDC power supply with your IRP2+ you can send a status signal to an IntelliPad without running any addi- tional wiring. Built into the IRP2+ is a Niles Status Signal Generator. When the IRP2+ sees 12vDC at the status jack it broadcasts a Status signal over your existing IR sensor wires.
