P-Rings and Electrical Boxes The mounting depth of the IRR4S is 2 3/4" When installed, the . unit extends 2 1/4" behind the drywall (assuming 1/2" drywall). For installation, you must choose between a standard light switch plaster ring (p-ring) or a standard 18 cubic inch (or larger) electrical box. Suitable p-rings and electrical boxes are available from your Niles dealer or local electrical supply company. Using the pring is best because it gives you unobstructed access to the full depth of the wall. In some instances, the use of a p-ring may be inappropriate, such as in a retro-fit (existing) installation, or when building codes require that wall devices be enclosed in electrical boxes. Contact your local building code and inspection department if unsure. Type of Cable The IRR-4S connects to the Niles Infrared Systems with an individual "home run" (wired directly) of 2-conductor shielded cable. Recommended cables are 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 IRR-4S. 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. IRR-4S Mounting Location Locating the IRR-4S in the center of a room usually results in the most even IR receiving coverage, especially if the room is square shaped. Rooms that are L-shaped or long and narrow require more careful consideration. With these types of rooms, installing the IRR4S closest to the primary location of the user will ensure the best performance. Receiving Range & Pickup Angle The receiving range of the IRR-4S will vary according to the IR output strength of the remote control being used. Remote strength varies among brands depending on the number and size of batteries used, and how many IR emitters the remote has. [. . . ] Insert each wire into the appropriate hole on the removable connector block; secure the wiring to the connector by tightening the small connector screws. Plug the connector back into its socket on the IRR-4S. IRR-4S Wiring Configuration PIN 1 = RED (+12V DC) PIN 2 = BARE (GND)* PIN 3 = BLACK (DATA) *You must use the bare drain wire for the ground connection NOTE: The color code shown above is for West Penn D291 IR cable.
