Operation of the cs120 is straightforward. simply
aim your hand-held remote at the cs120. your IR
command is instantly repeated to your A/V equip-
a
ment.
troublesHootInG
This manual contains instructions for the cs120
only. for specific information on the adjustment
and operation of your Niles infrared extender sys-
tem, please refer to the instruction manual included
c
with your Niles IR main system unit (MSU140,
MSU250, MSU480, MSU440Z).
1. Test the remote control(s) by operating the A/V
d
equipment directly. Replace the batteries if
needed
2. Double check the cable connections on the
CS120 and on the main system unit. Look for
e
open, shorted or reversed wires (Figure 2)
3. Test for interference from the following sources:
• Neon, Compact Florescent Lighting (CFL), or
halogen lights in the room
• Light dimmers, beginning with those closest
to the CS120
Observe the main system unit IR confirmation led
while performing all the tests. It is possible to have
interference from more than one source.
Eliminating Optical Feedback
In some installations, two conditions combine to
10
create an optical feedback loop. symptoms can
include: poor range, intermittent operation or no
operation.The conditions which sometimes
combine to create a feedback loop are:
1. Both a sensor and a flasher are located within
the same room
2. There is some low-level noise or interference on
your system
you can eliminate optical feedback by replacing
any IRB1 "flooding flasher" with an Mf1 or Mf2
®
Microflasher and covering all flashers with the
supplied IR blocking covers.
EMI (Electromagnetic Interference)
Identify the source of the interference. The most
common sources of electromagnetic interference
are listed in the Installation considerations section.
To eliminate eMI try the following methods:
1. Move the sensor or the sensor cable away from
the EMI source or move the source of the EMI
away from the sensor or the cable
2. Connect the Sensor's GND terminal to true earth
ground (if this isn't feasible use the main system
unit's GND terminal)
There are many methods for reducing interference.
which solution is best for you depends on your
situation. If you require further assistance call Niles
