How far does the remote work for?

In most conditions, the remote control will operate the clock/timer from a distance of at least 100 feet.

Although I haven't done a range limit check I have verified they meet my needs. Here's what I have done: Verified remote's operation to 75+ feet from outside with relay inside house. Verified operation inside house with as many closed doors between remote and relay board as possible, again to appx 75 feet. All that I purchased worked every time. All testing was done without the remote's antenna extended. I have no reason to believe they wouldn't work much farther then 75 feet.

I have an identical situation and it works very well at least 200 feet away. Hope this helps.

Don't know what to tell you Craig. I know my kids open the garage way before they get to the driveway, so the range is at least a couple hundred feet. Are you sure the little wire that acts as the receiver on the remote itself is not blocked in some way? I know I have mine hanging down and it seems to get the signal from the remote pretty easily.

Hi Bruce, I have one about 30 feet away going through two walls and it works well. sometimes when I get near the remote I mess up the signal on that one. I have a second remote that is about 40 feet away with only one wall between and that one is rock solid and does not fad when I get near it. I also have one remote speaker one floor below and about 30 feet away and that one is also rock solid. I have not tried them outside since I use them to play audio stories to my blind wife in her bedroom and living room. If I am working in the basement, I listen there.

100 ft is a stretch but if the antenna is towards I think, think being the key word. I use mine to turn an electric game call that's wired to a 12 volt tractor battery on & off from a distance. I've run it at around 100ft but sometimes I've got to click it numerous times & move the remote around in the air. With my application I can tell instantly it if work (i.e. Sound). My advice if you're going try it would be to also wire in a small light or LED to tell you if your pump is on or off.

For me, the remote can communicate without the antenna within at least 20-30'. It's a PITA to carry around the remote with the antenna attached.

My remote was dead out of the box. I will receive a replacement in 8-10 business days once the product is in stock (they currently have.. none, wonder why?).That said, my comcast universal remote will operate the device except for the menu. Distance is not an issue with my universal remote - I think all the talk about distance is because the original remote is worthless.

I'm not sure. I use this in my house and the remote works well from one end of the house to the other (about 40 feet). But it works just as a TV remote, you need to have a line-of-sight between the remote and the receiver.

Not very far. The remote can be sensative to other devices and makes noise when there is no movement. We used the sensor by itself because the bell is loud enough to hear in the next room.

I use the one that came with the player, effective range from e-center to couch: 5 feet. It could be the glass pane inside the door enhances the signal. Keep in mind that it transmits infrared, so you should have an unobstructed line of sight straight to the player's receptor. And you should aim the front of the remote directly at the player, not up, like some are wont to do.

I do not know the range of the remote. I have it in my kitchen and I use to activate before leaving the house. I do know that any remote will activate this device and that is why I stopped using it. My car alarm activates it, my moms car alarm activates it and my neighbors car alarm as well.

My remote is used probably 30 to 40 degrees off center and approximately 15-20 feet distance.

Yes you can use a universal remote, but it doesn't help the range - you still need to be about 4 feet away...

the farthest i have set up from the caller was about 30 yards. i havnt tested how far out it will reach. at the distance i set it at it does need direct line of sight from the remote to the caller or the caller wont respond to the commands.

It doesn't have that kind of range. Mine wont activate or turn off from 20ft away.

I get about 150' out of mine. Much has to do with the battery, objects between you and your vehicle, where you placed your receiver. I use mine on my sons quad while its on the trailer. The remote will sound several hundred feet away and through glass when you set the alarm off.
