as str ong as remotes that use the larger AA size batteries and
have two emitters. Tests with various manufacturers’ remote
controls have shown that the operating range can vary from
a minimum of 18' to a maximum of about 30'.
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
WS100R.
The IR pickup angle of the WS100R is 30° off-axis
(horizontal and vertical) at 18'.
Junction Boxes
The mounting depth of the WS100R is 1-1/4". When
installed, the unit extends 3/4" behind the sheetrock
wall (assuming 1/2" sheetrock). Suitable electrical boxes
are available from your Niles dealer or local electrical
supply company.
DO NOT INST ALL THE WS100R INTO ELECTRICAL
BOXES WITH 110 VOLT DEVICES.
Some states or municipalities allow devices such as the
WS100R to be installed into the same electrical box as
110 volt devices, provided a “low-voltage partition” is used
between the devices. We do not recommend this. The cable
connected to the WS100R can act as an “antenna” for elec-
trical noise. Locating the WS100R cable too close to a light
dimmer or switch may interfere with the WS100R.
If you must locate the WS100R near electrical devices, install
it in a separate metal electrical box, ground the box to the
electrical system ground, and route the WS100R cable
several feet away from all electrical wiring.
