Features and Benefits

Power Status Display and Synchronization

The Status Feedback feature eliminates the

guesswork common with other IR control sys-

tems. The power LED indicates the On/Off con-

dition of the system’s preamp/receiver. Built-in

intelligence tracks this (On/Off condition of the

preamp/receiver) so the IntelliPad knows when

it’s appropriate to issue the power command.

The system maintains perfect synchronization

between the amplifier and the user.

One-Button Macros With Power

Synchronization

Located on the left hand side of the keypad are

six Source Select keys, each with its own corre-

sponding backlit label. When you press a Source

Select key, a synchronized sequence of IR com-

mands is initiated. It’s synchronized, because the

internal microprocessor first checks if the pre-

amp/receiver is on or off. The keypad only issues

the “power” command if the preamp/receiver is

off. After it has verified that the preamp/receiver

is on, it proceeds with the necessary commands

to select the correct input, type of surround

sound or equalization, and the play or favorite

station command for the source component.

Speaker Relay

The IntelliPad incorporates a unique speaker

muting function with status display. When you

press the Mute key the local speakers turn off and

the status LED turns from green to red (green

means the speakers are on, red means the speak-

ers are off). In a multi-room system, when a user

in one of the rooms turns on the system, only

that room’s speakers turn on. All other rooms dis-

play that the system is on, but muted locally. In

another room, you simply press the “Mute” but-

ton to turn on the local speakers.

Multiple “Pages” of Function Control Keys

Once you have pressed one of the six Source

Select keys (CD, tuner, tape etc), the Function

Control keys, located on the right-hand side of

the keypad, operate the selected source (play,

stop, pause, next station, seek, etc). When

another Source Select key is pressed, the right

hand keys operate the newly selected source.

With this system of multiple “pages” of IR com-

mands just a few, ergonomically shaped but-

tons will issue the dozens of infrared commands

needed in a typical audio/video system.

Press and Hold Commands

The IntelliPad can differentiate between a normal

press of a key, and a “press and hold” of a key (a

press which lasts for more than one second). This

Press and Hold feature enables the six Source

Select keys and the Power key to be pro-

grammed for up to two functions.

Pre-printed Source Labels

The backlit labels allow you to customize the

keypad to any system with the supplied pre-

printed translucent labels. Labels include stan-

dard audio/video components and IR control-

lable devices, as well as some common and

uncommon names for macro functions.

Quick and Easy Programming

The IntelliPad makes installation fast and simple.

Programming is made easy via programming

push-buttons and LEDs which provide visual

prompts—leading you step-by-step through

the programming process.

Program Duplication

The memory contents of a programmed keypad

can be transferred directly into another keypad via

a supplied cable—thereby simplifying the pro-

gramming of multiple keypads within a single sys-

tem. Additionally, it is possible to archive and trans-

fer the IntelliPad’s programmed memory using a

personal computer with the optional Windows

based IntelliFile® PC Storage and Transfer System.

Integrates With IR Sensors

In an IR repeater system, any IntelliPad may

have an IR sensor connected to it (See page10,

Figure 6). Hand-held remote controls may be

used in any room equipped with an IR sensor.

Retrofittable for Easy Upgrades

IntelliPad utilizes the same two-conductor

shielded cable as an infrared repeater system—

making it the perfect upgrade solution.

Memory Protection

Eachkeypadis protected against accidental loss of

program memory by a ten-year backup battery.

Instant Color Changes

Removable Decora

style color inserts make on-

site color changes a snap. Both bone and white

colors are included with your IntelliPad.

Proudly Made in USA

The IntelliPad is made in the USA and comes with

a limited two year parts and labor warranty.

Installation Considerations

IntelliPad Mounting Location

Convenient mounting locations for the

IntelliPad include:

●Near entryways or exits

●Near a desk

●At your bedside

●Close to a telephone

●Near other wall controls

CAUTION: DO NOT INSTALL THE INTELLIPAD

INTO ELECTRICAL BOXES WITH 110 VOLT DEVICES

Some states or municipalities allow devices such

as the IntelliPad 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. Speaker

wires can act as an “antenna” for electrical

noise. Locating speaker wires too close to a light

switch or dimmer may cause a “popping” or

“buzzing” sound to be heard through the

speakers. If you must locate the IntelliPad near

electrical devices, install it in a separate metal

electrical box, ground the box to the electrical

system ground, and route the speaker wires

several feet away from the electrical wiring.

Concealing the Cable

If you have doubts about whether you are capa-

ble of concealing wires in your walls, consult a

Niles dealer or professional installer. They have

special tools, techniques, and experience to make

the impossible possible. The installer can provide

you with an estimate before any work is done.

P-Rings and Electrical Boxes

The mounting depth of the IntelliPad is 2 1/2”.

When installed, the unit extends 2” behind the

sheetrock wall (assuming 1/2” sheetrock). For

installation, you must choose between a two-

gang standard light switch plaster ring (p-ring)

or a two-gang standard 36 cubic in. (or larger)

electrical box. Suitable p-rings and electrical

boxes are available from your Niles dealer or

local electrical supply company. Using the p-

ring is best because it gives you unobstructed

access to the full depth of the wall. In some

instances, the use of a p-ring may be inappro-

priate, such as in a retro-fit (existing) installa-

tion, or when building codes require that wall

devices be enclosed in electrical boxes. Contact

your local building code and inspection depart-

ment if unsure.

Connecting the IntelliPad to a Niles IR

repeater system capable of broadcasting a

status feedback signal

Normally, from every IntelliPad location you

must “home-run” an IR data cable back to the

IR main system unit (models IRP2+, IRP6+,

IRZ6+). Home run means an individual cable is

connected between each IntelliPad and the IR

main system unit.

The IntelliPad connects to the IR main system

unit with 2-conductor shielded cable.

Recommended cables are “Data Grade” cables

made of two 22 gauge (or larger) conductors

surrounded by a foil shield and a bare drain

(ground) wire. Data Grade Cable provides the

capability for runs of up to 500 feet to each

IntelliPad. Examples are West Penn D291,

Belden 8761 or Carol C2516. Non-data grade

22-16 gauge 2-conductor shielded cable will

enable 150 foot runs to each IntelliPad, and are

available at your local hardware store.

The IR main system unit will supply power and

status feedback to the IntelliPad and will output

the IR commands to your components via flash-

ers attached to the IR main system unit. See

Figure 4.

If you intend to use the IntelliPad’s Speaker

Relay feature you must run the speaker wire

from the amplifier to the IntelliPad and from the

IntelliPad to the speakers. See Figure 4.

Connecting an IntelliPad in a “Stand

Alone” system using a direct status feed-

back connection

Power is supplied via a 12v DC wall adapter of at

least 200mA. You may extend the wall adapter’s

cable up to 200’ with 2-conductor 16 gauge wire

to connect to the 12v+ and the GND terminals

on the IR DATA connector of the IntelliPad. See

Figure 5.

Your IR controllable A/V components are con-

trolled via the flasher connector (accommo-

dates up to four series connected flashers). You

may extend the IR flasher wires up to 200 feet

with 2-conductor 16-gauge wire (shielding is

not usually necessary).

If you intend to use Status Feedback you must

plug a 12v DC wall adapter into the switched

outlet of the preamp/receiver and connect the

outputs to the + and - terminals on the status

connector. You may extend the wall adapter’s

cable up to 200’ with 2-conductor 16 gauge

wire (shielding is not desirable or necessary).

If you intend to use the IntelliPad’s speaker relay,

you must run the speaker wire from the ampli-

fier to the IntelliPad and from the IntelliPad to

the speakers. See Figure 5.

Speaker Cable

For most applications, we recommend you use 16

or 18 gauge, stranded copper speaker wire for

the IntelliPad Speaker Relay connections. For

wiring runs longer than 80 feet, 14 gauge wire is

recommended. Using speaker wire larger than 14

gauge for the IntelliPad connections is not rec-

ommended—the wire may not fit into the con-

nectors. Never use solid-core, aluminum, or

“Romex” type wire with the IntelliPad. When run-

ning speaker wires inside walls, most states and

municipalities in the U.S. specify that you must

use a special type of speaker 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.

Combining a Sensor with an IntelliPad

in the Same Room

There is an exception to the “home run” wiring

rule when you are placing both a keypad and a

sensor in one room. Only in this case may you

“daisy-chain” a single cable. A cable is run

between the keypad and the IR sensor and a sin-

gle cable is run from either the IR sensor or the

keypad back to the IR main system unit. Only

ONE IR sensor and ONE keypad can be combined

on ONE cable. NEVER daisy-chain two IR sensors.

Installation

Overview

The IntelliPad is installed by following these

steps in order:

1. Install the electrical box (J-box) or plaster ring

(P-ring) in the usual manner.

2. Run the cables to the IntelliPad location. Label

all cables. See Installation Considerations.

3. Install the Source Labels.

4. Set the Status Feedback and Speaker Relay

jumpers to the correct configuration. (See

page 12).

5. Make the connections to the IntelliPad.

6. Secure the IntelliPad to the J-box or P-ring.

7. With power off, make the connections to the

IR main system unit and IR flasher. Then con-

nect the power and status feedback wall

adapters.

8. Program the IntelliPad. You can choose from

three programming options:

1. Manual programming

2. Memory transfer from a preprogrammed

IntelliPad

3. Memory transfer from a personal computer

using the Niles IntelliFile PC Transfer and

Storage System.

9. Secure the Decora faceplate to the IntelliPad.

Installing the Source Labels

Included with the IntelliPad is a sheet of precut

and preprinted labels for your convenience. To

install the labels follow these steps:

1. Holding the IntelliPad as shown in Figure 7,

remove the white Decora style inserts on the

face of the IntelliPad by pulling straight back

away from the IntelliPad. The inserts are held

in by friction fit pegs and pop free very easily.

2. Before installing labels determine which color

(bone or white) Decora-style insert is appropri-

ate for your installation and reserve them in a

convenient place.

3. Detach labels you would like to use. Reserve

them in a convenient place.

4. Remove the six plastic label plugs from their

bag and place them next to the labels.

5. While holding the Decora insert with the label

holders upside down, drop each of the labels

into the correct label holder. See Figure 8.

6. The label plugs are wedge shaped. Insert the

narrow end of the plug into the label holder

and press down until the label plug is flush

with the rear of the label holder. This locks the

label into place. See Figure 9.

7. Once all of the labels are locked in place, take

a look at the labels. If they are in the correct

order, right side up and otherwise satisfactory,

you may proceed. However, if you need to

correct one of the labels, use a small screw-

driver to gently push the label and label plug

back out of the cavity. See Figure 10.

8. Install the correctly labeled Decora insert by

holding the control so that it is facing you. Fit

the insert around the keys of the IntelliPad.

Align the pegs on the back of the insert with

the corresponding holes on the steel bracket

of the IntelliPad. Fix the insert into place by

carefully pressing on the front of the insert.

The pegs friction fit into the holes and hold

the inserts in place.

Configuring The IntelliPad Jumpers

Different jumper settings change operation in

the following ways:

Status Feedback Jumper

Use the ENABLE setting if you are giving the

IntelliPad Status Feedback via the Status input on

the IntelliPad or via a Niles IR main system unit.

IR K

EYPAD

YSTEM

When status feedback is enabled the IntelliPad

will automatically issue the preamp/receiver’s

power command when a Source Select key is

pressed and the preamp/receiver is off (this is

the auto power insert feature). The status LED

and the selected source label are only lit when

the preamp/receiver is on. See Figure 11.

Use the DISABLE setting if you are unable to pro-

vide any Status Feedback to the IntelliPad. When

Status Feedback is disabled the IntelliPad will no

longer automatically insert the preamp/receiver

power command when a Source Select key is

pressed; also the status LED and the source

labels will only light for 16 seconds after any

IntelliPad key is pressed, regardless of whether

the preamp/receiver is on or off. See Figure 12.

Speaker Relay Jumper

Use the ENABLE setting if you are running the

speaker wire through the IntelliPad’s speaker

relay. If the Mute key is pressed when the system

is in use, the IntelliPad’s internal speaker relay will

mute the speakers in that room only. The Status

LED will change from green to red. In a system

with multiple IntelliPads, when someone turns

on the system from an IntelliPad, the speakers

only play in that room. All other IntelliPads will

indicate that the system is in use by lighting the

Status LED red and will stay muted until some-

one touches either the Mute key or one of the six

Source Select keys in that room. See Figure 13.

Use the DISABLE setting if you are unable to run

your speaker wires to the IntelliPad. You may

elect to program an IR command into the Mute

key. See Figure 14.

Connections at the IntelliPad

All of the connections are made via removable

screw-type connectors which are included with

the IntelliPad. First, strip 1/4" of insulation from

the end of each wire. Tightly twist the end of

each wire until there are no frayed ends. Insert

each wire into the appropriate hole on the

removable connector block; secure the wiring to

the connector by tightening the small connector

screws. Double-check all connections. Plug the

connector into its socket on the IntelliPad.

Repeat this process with each of the connectors

you will be using in your system. Follow the con-

nection polarity and channel markings silk-

screened to the back of the IntelliPad.

Securing the IntelliPad to the Electrical Box

or P-Ring

Insert the 11/4" long device screws into the

oblong-shapedscrewholes on the top and bottom

of the IntelliPad. Note that the oblong shape of the

screw holes allow you to position the IntelliPad so

that it is vertical. Position the IntelliPad so that the

screws are aligned with the threaded holes in the

electrical box or p-ring. Tighten the screws using a

phillips screwdriver. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. In

some instances, you may need to loosen these

screws several turns to allow the IntelliPad to fit

flush with the Decora cover plate.

Connecting to the IR Main System Unit

Strip 1/4" of insulation from the end of each wire.

Tightly twist the end of each wire until there are no

frayed ends. Insert the end of each wire into the

appropriate hole on the IR main system unit's con-

nectorblock; securethe wiring totheconnector by

tightening the small connector screws. Double-

check all connections. This manual contains

instructionsfortheIntelliPad only.For specific infor-

mation on the adjustment of your Niles Infrared

system, please refer to the instruction manual

included with your Niles IR Main System Unit.

Installing the Decora Cover Plate

Use the shorter plate screws (included with the

Decora style cover plates) to fasten the Decora

cover plate to the IntelliPad. DO NOT OVER-

TIGHTEN THE PLATE SCREWS OR YOU MAY

DAMAGE THE COVER PLATE. Line up all the

screws in the same direction for a finished look.

NOTE: Certain "old work" or "retro-fit" boxes, such as

the Carlon B225R, have a plastic "lip" which interferes

with the Decora plate screws. This lip prevents you

from being able to tighten these screws completely.

To make the clearance necessary for these screws,

you must remove the parts of the lip causing the

interference. There are two ways to accomplish this:

1. Drill through the lip of the box at the screw points.

2. Cut notches into the lip with a pair of diagonal

cutters.

Page and Key — The Memory Address for

Every IR Code and Sequence

Every command you want the IntelliPad to issue

must be stored and given a memory address. This

address is composed of two parts, the “Page” and

the “Key”. The Key is the actual key you would

press on the IntelliPad. The Page describes one of

eight different layers of memory storage.

The six Source Select keys decide which “page”

of IR command memory will be accessed when

one of the of Source Select keys is pressed. That

way, the same key can issue a VCR play com-

mand when the VCR is selected as a source and

will issue a CD play command when the CD is

selected as the source.

System Page

All of the IR commands for the main system pre-

amp/receiver are stored on a hidden seventh

page of IR command memory. This page is called

the System Page because it controls the entire

system. It is also the default page. When you

press the Volume Up key, the IntelliPad will look

for a code stored in the particular source page

(e.g. a local TV set). However, if there is no code,

the IntelliPad defaults to the preamp/receiver

Volume Up code stored on the System Page. That

way, you only have to program the Volume Up

and Volume Down codes on the System Page.

Normally, while on the System Page the six

Source Select keys store the preamp/receiver

input commands, the Power key stores the

power command, and the Volume Up and

Volume Down keys store the volume com-

mands. The remaining keys can be used to store

IR commands which are only used in sequences

(e.g. Stereo/Surround Modes, EQ settings,

Numeric Keys).

Sequences Take Priority

A sequence can be triggered by any key except

the Power key. A sequence takes priority over an

IR command stored on the same key and page.

In this case, the IntelliPad will only issue the

sequence, not the IR command.

When you program a sequence to be triggered

by a particular key, you may include any IR com-

mand stored there, but you do not have to. That

IR command could be used in some other

sequence.

NOTE: Since the System Page is the default page,

any IR command stored on the System Page

using the Function Control keys (i.e. Play, Stop,

Pause etc.) can be accidentally issued by the user.

This occurs when the key is pressed on a Source

Page which has no IR code stored at that key

address. You can prevent this default action from

occurring by inserting a sequence that consists of

only one step (1/2 second delay) at the unused

key address — the sequence takes priority over

the empty key address which prevents the

IntelliPad from defaulting to the System page.

Press and Hold Page

The six Source Select keys and the Power key

can be programmed to have up to two func-

tions. The second function can be accessed by

pressing and holding one of these keys for more

than one second. These special commands or

sequences are stored on an eighth page of IR

command memory, the Press and Hold page.

Programming

Overview

The IntelliPad system is programmed in six

fundamental stages:

1. Teach all of the preamp/receiver IR com-

mands onto the System page.

2. Teach each of the source component IR com-

mands onto the Source Pages.

3. Teach a secondary IR command onto the

Press and Hold Page.

4. Configure sequences of preprogrammed IR

commands and/or delays to trigger from any

or all keys (except the Power key) on all

pages (including the Press and Hold page).

5. Permanently archive the program you have

created on a PC using the optional IntelliFile

PC Transfer and Storage System.

6. Transfer the program to any additional

IntelliPads in the system.

Ground Rules and Guidelines

Erasing the Entire Memory Before You Start

Before beginning to program the IntelliPad,

erase any earlier programs by following these

steps:

1. Press the PROGRAM button. The PROGRAM

LED, the IR/SEQ LED and the PAGE LED light

up red.

2. Press and hold the ERASE button until all the

Prompt LEDs flash, then release. The PRO-

GRAM LED begins to flash, warning you that

you are about to erase.

3. Press and hold the ERASE button until all the

Prompt LEDs flash. This erases the entire

memory of the IntelliPad.

4. To exit the Program mode, press the

PROGRAM button once.

tions and continuous commands for special

functions like Volume Up and Volume Down on

a preamp/receiver or Scan Ahead on a VCR.

However, some remotes allow you to issue a sin-

gle IR command continuously by pressing and

holding the button on the remote control. IR

commands from some manufacturers (e.g.

Sony) which are taught to the Intellipad as con-

tinuous commands will not work in sequences.

When teaching the IntelliPad, make sure you

only press and hold buttons for functions which

NEED continuous IR commands:

DO PRESS AND HOLD the buttons of the

remote control for at least three seconds when

you are teaching the preamp/receiver’s Volume

Up and Volume Down and when you are teach-

ing VCR or Laser Disc Scan functions.

DO NOT PRESS AND HOLD the buttons on the

remote control when you are teaching normal

functions (power, stop, play, next track, etc.)

Positioning the Hand-Held Remote Control

Different brands and models of remote controls

have varying strengths and types of output

LEDs. The sensor will not be over or under pow-

ered by the remote if it is placed in the recom-

mended position. Aim the remote control

directly at the sensor on the IntelliPad, within the

operating range of three to six inches in front of

the sensor. See Figure 16.
