Eliminating Optical feedback
In some installations, two conditions combine to cr
eate an
optical feedback loop. Symptoms can include: poor range,
intermittent operation or no operation.
The conditions which sometimes combine to create a feed-
back loop are:
1. Both a sensor and a flasher are located within the same room.
2. There is some low-level noise or interference on your system.
You can eliminate optical feedback by replacing any
IRB1 “flooding flasher” with MF1 or MF2 MicroFlashers and
covering all flashers with the supplied IR blocking covers.
Identifying the T
ype of Interference
The blue “flash-back” LED on the fr
ont of the TS100 is a useful
trouble-shooting aid.
The LED should light blue only when a remote command is
being received. However, if the LED on the TS100 “flickers”, and
the TS100 functions normally, there is no cause for concern.
If the TS100 does not work, and the LED does not
light at all:
T
est the remote control(s) by operating the A/V
equipment directly. Replace the batteries if needed. Double
check the cable connections on the TS100’s and on the
IR main system unit. Consult your IR main system unit’s manual
for more detail.
