Installation Considerations
Type of Cable
The MS-1 connects to the Niles Infrared Systems with an
individual home run of 2-conductor shielded cable.
Recommended cables are Niles data grade IR cable, West
Penn D291, Belden 8761, Carol C2516 or equivalent, made
of two 22 gauge (or larger) conductors surrounded by a foil
shield and a bare drain (ground) wire.
DO NOT USE UNSHIELDED CABLE WITH THE MS-1.
MS-1 Mounting Location
The MS-1 is ideal for use in applications when tabletop, ceil-
ing, or wall-mounting is undesirable. Its small size and unob-
trusive appearance makes it ideal for installation in obscure,
hidden locations, in cabinet facings, or in the “sensor knock-
out built into Niles in-wall loudspeakers. Installing the MS-1
close to the primary location of the user will ensure best per-
formance.
The MS-1 is designed to flush-mount almost anywhere.
Convenient mounting locations for the MS-1 are:
●
In a cabinet door
●
In a wall, or wall-plate
●
Behind a speaker grille*
* Some types of speaker grilles will reduce the IR pickup range of the
MS-1. If unsure, test the pickup range before permanently installing
the MS-1 behind the speaker grille.
