MSU480
Infrared Main
System Unit
Intr
oduction
An infrar
ed (IR) extender system enables you to control your IR
remote controlled A/V equipment from a remote location. This
enables you to place your A/V components out of sight
(behind cabinet doors, in the rear of a room, or in a different
room) and still conveniently operate your equipment.
Installed at the equipment location, the MSU480 receives the
IR commands transmitted from your existing hand-held
remotes in that room. The commands are carried via a small
category 5 cable to your A/V equipment in another room, and
instantly “repeated”.
The MSU480 is compatible with all current Niles infrared sys-
tems. It may be used along with the Niles TS100, MS100,
MS200, WS100, MVC100R and CS100 IR sensors or the IntelliPad
®
.
The model MSU480 is an IR Main System Unit. It is one of
three elements that make up an infrared extender system:
•
IR Main System Unit
—Models MSU140, MSU250,
MSU480 and MSU440Z.
•
IR Sensors/Keypads
—Models WS100, TS100, WS100,
MS100, MS200, CS100, MVC100IR and the IntelliPad.
• IR Flashers—Models MF1, MF2, MF1VF
, MF2VF and the IRB1.
An IR sensor expansion unit, Model IRH610, is available for
IR repeater systems used in more than six rooms.
