  • Page 3: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION The Niles TS120 is a tabletop infrared sensor designed for use with the Niles infrared extender systems. Installed in a remote room location, the TS120 receives the IR commands transmitted from your hand-held remote(s). The IR commands are carried via a CAT-5 cable to your A/V equipment in another room, and instantly “repeated”.

    FEATURES AND BENEFITS The TS120 offers a number of improvements over other tabletop IR sensors.

  • Page 5: Installation Considerations

    INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS TYPE OF CABLE The TS120 connects to the Niles infrared main system unit or IRH610 sensor expansion hub with an individual home run of CAT-5 cable. When running wires inside walls, most states and municipalities in the U.S. specify that you must use a special type of wire. Usually, the requirement is that the wire has a specific “CL”...
  • Page 6 Infrared signals travel essentially line-of-sight. They will not pass through or around solid objects. Do not rely on an IR signal being able to “bounce” off a wall or object to the TS120. The IR pickup angle of the TS120 is 30° off-axis (horizontal and vertical) at 25’.
  • Page 7 (CONTINUED) AVOIDING INTERFERENCE TS120 is designed to work in most applications including with plasma and LCD TV’s and in areas where CFL lighting and indirect sunlight are present. You should avoid locating the TS120 near potential sources of electrical or optical noise, such as light dimmers or low-voltage lights.

    A/V equipment. GREEN “POWER STATUS” LED When the TS120 is correctly connected (Figure 2), the Green LED will stay lit as long as the pre- amp/receiver is on. When your preamp/receiver is off, the LED will stay off.

  • Page 12: Troubleshooting

    The bi-color blue/green LED on the front of the TS120 is a useful troubleshooting aid. The blue LED should light only when a remote command is being received. If the LED on the TS120 “flickers”, and the TS120 functions normally, there is no cause for concern, some stray IR signal are being received by the TS120 but are not being repeated.
  • Page 13 TS120 “flickers”, and the TS120 functions normally, there is no cause for concern. If the TS120 does not work, and the LED does not light at all: Test the remote control(s) by operating the A/V equipment directly. Replace the batteries if needed. Double check the cable connections on the TS120’s and on the IR main system unit.
