How many feet from the humidifier does the sensor read?

Meade says 100 feet. I've never had mine more than 25 feet apart. Never a problem at that distance. I'm sure as long as there is a window between the two, it would be fine at 100 feet.

It just adjusts output. I recommend that you purchase a separate hygrometer and keep in in the room where the humidifier is located.

About 3 to 4 feet. I don't have mine plugged in and it is curled up behind my safe. Be sure you have a use for power in your safe. I should have read the directions on the safe first. If you drill a hole in the safe you void the fire warranty. I am using a non-electric de-humidifier and it works great. I hope this helps .

Yes. The sensor is tethered to the unit I don't recall the exact length, but the probe is in one room and the actual gauge is outside, I get readings with out opening door. Works fine for my needs.

It might be a little more than 40 ft. Both of my sensors are in the 50-60 ft range from one of the chimes and in the 40 ft range from the other. It probably depends on what is between the sensor and the chime as well.

You cannot adjust the sensor distance. It will work to about 11 feet. You could re-position the unit to make up for your distance requirements.

Hi. General Tools indicates that it CAN detect moisture up to 4" deep/down. * Spherical sensor gauges moisture level up to 4 in. below a surface. I haven't used mine in that capacity yet so I can't tell you from an applicability standpoint. You can also check out other specs here: http://www.generaltools.com/assets/images/Manuals/MMD950ManualGT.pdfHope that helps!

I noticed the first answer but I believe it is wrong. I have the old sensor. It has 4 wires, 2 black, 1 white & 1 blue.The length from the flange to the end of the connector is 8 1/2 inches. I cut the wires on mine so it may be longerbut I don't think I lost any length. Total length is about 10 inches.

Mine is hard to get to for an exact measurement, but where I have the purifier the cord had to be at least five feet.

I purchased several motion sensors, and some are able to detect motion at 20 feet and others are only able to detect it at 12 feet (even if I adjust the sensitivity). I also found some units to be more prone to activating false alarms than others. This all points to poor quality control and testing with their production, but most of units have proven to be very good and continue to perform well after 18 months of use.

Check to see if here is anything too close to sensor Keep everything about a foot away

Seriously, this sensor works only part of the time 5 feet or 100 feet away. I strongly suggest you use a reliable solution for anything that is important. It will false alarm, or lose track of the sensor or not alarm when it should. Then sometimes it works fine. I have 2 base units and 4 different sensors. None work reliably.

I am not sure. My sensor is only 1 foot away and it turns itself on. It also senses moisture in the humid northeast and will sometimes turn on when it is raining outside and the windows are open. It probably will sense moisture from shower, but it may take awhile to work it's way over to the sensor.

Hi,I have never actually measured it. There should be plenty enough wire to go from one sensor to the other (or, from one side of your garage door to the other) and then back up to the machine. I would say about 40 feet from one side to the other and about 30 feet back up to the machine.Kevin

It should alert you on your humidifier or dehumidifier. Other than that I don't know as it was for my brother not me.

3 feet. but I have not found the system very reliable, I have 4 sensors and they often miss reporting

about 6 feet without measuring it. Unit though only attract moths. Not mosquitoes.
