Supply
Six remotely located IR Sensors are connected to an IRP6+. One IR Flasher, connected to the IRP6+, is transmitting an IR command
to the Receiver's IR sensor. The IRP6+ enables you to connect up to eight Niles IRC-1 Flooding Flashers and up to sixteen Niles
IRC-2 MicroFlashers. The IRP-6+ is powered by plugging into an unswitched AC outlet.

of easily concealable sensors: wall-
