Abstract
A photoelectric cell powered based security system relies on a photoelectric cell powered detector to transmit security information to a main control panel. An optional extender relays security information between a local photoelectric cell powered detector and a main control panel in the event that the local photoelectric cell powered detector is unable to directly communicate with the main control panel.
