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.
