Features and Benefits
The MSU140 offers a number of improvements over other IR Extender Main System Units:
•Universal system—compatible with virtually all brands of A/V equipment and remote controls.
•Accommodates one IR sensor or keypad.
•Provides four flasher outputs via convenient 3.5mm jacks.
•System feedback LED confirms operation.
•3-30V AC/DC status input. Provides system status to connected sensors and keypads.
•Expandable—an IRH610 IR expansion hub can be used to provide additional inputs.
•Printed circuit board design assures high reliability.
•Low profile and small footprint with integrated mounting wings that allow for both horizontal and vertical installation.
•UL listed regulated in-line power supply with universal voltage capability.
•Two year parts and labor warranty.

1.12V DC Jack – Provides 12 volt DC power to MSU via a regulated power supply.
2.IR Flasher Outputs – 3.5mm jacks provide output for either single or dual (MF1, MF2, MF1VF, MF2VF) low-level flashers.
3.3-30V AC/DC Status – 3.5mm jack provides system status to sensors/ keypads via a 12 volt power supply attached to a switched outlet on the system receiver or a 12V trigger output.
4.Status/ IR Confirmation LED – This LED performs two functions: (1) it provides a visible indication of system status via a green LED and (2) confirms the reception of IR data via a blinking blue LED.
5.Sensor Input – Removable quick connect sensor plug for connection of IR sensors (WS100, TS100, MS100, MS200, CS100 MVC100IR and the IntelliPad) to the system.
