INSTALLATION CONSIdERATIONS
TypE OF CABLE
The TS120 connects to the Niles infrared main system unit or IRH610 sensor expansion hub with an
individual home run of CAT-5 cable. When running wires inside walls, most states and municipalities
in the U.S. specify that you must use a special type of 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.
TS120 MOUNTING LOCATION
The TS120 is ideal for use in applications when ceiling or wall-mounting is undesirable. Its small size
and unobtrusive appearance makes it ideal for installation in existing homes or cabinets with great
ease and minimal custom work. Installing the TS120 close to the primary location of the user will
ensure best performance.
The TS120 is designed to mount over or under almost any flat horizontal surface. Convenient
mounting locations for the TS120 are:
• On top of a television set
• On a shelf in an entertainment center
• Under a shelf in an entertainment center
TECH TIp: Wire size is expressed by it’s AWG (American Wire Gauge) number. The lower
the AWG number, the larger the wire, i.e., 20 AWG wire is physically larger than 22 AWG.
