INTRODUCTION
The Niles WS110R is a wall-mount, Decora® style IR sensor designed for use with the Niles infrared
extender systems.
Installed in a remote room location, the WS110R receives the IR commands transmitted from your
existing hand-held remotes in that room. The commands are carried via a CAT 5 cable to your A/V
equipment in another room, and instantly “repeated”.
The WS110R is compatible with all current Niles infrared systems. It may be used along with, or as
an alternative to, the Niles TS110, MS110, MS210, and CS110 sensors or the IntelliPad®.
The WS110R is just one part of the three building blocks necessary to complete a Niles IR repeating
system:
• IR Main System Unit—Models MSU140, MSU250, MSU480 and MSU440Z.
• IR Sensors/Keypads—Models WS110R, TS110, MS110, MS210, CS110, and the IntelliPad®.
• IR Flashers—Models MF1, MF2, MF1VF, MF2VF and the IRB1.
An IR sensor expansion hub, Model IRH610, is available to provide additional sensor inputs to your
system.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
The WS110R is a Decora-style module and is designed to use standard Decora-style cover plates
and mounting hardware. Decora cover plates (up to 6-gang) with color-matched plate screws are
available from your Niles dealer.
TOOLS REQUIRED
• 1/8” Standard Slotted Screwdriver
• 1/4” Standard Slotted Screwdriver
• Wire Stripper
TYPE OF CABLE
The WS110R connects to the Niles infrared main systems 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” fire rating, such as “CL-2” or “CL-3”. Consult your Niles dealer,
building contractor, or local building and inspection department if unsure about which type of wire is
best for your application.
WS110R MOUNTING LOCATION
Locating the WS110R in the center of a room usually results in the most even IR receiving coverage,
especially if the room is square shaped. Rooms that are L-shaped or long and narrow require more
careful consideration. With these types of rooms, installing the WS110R closest to the primary
location of the user will ensure the best performance.
