Can the sensor wires be extended ?

yes, but you have to do it manually with a pair of cutters and splice a length of wire in. not difficult by any means.

Yes. This sensor is larger than the one it replaces so you'll need the right drill bit and drill to enlarge the existing hole.

You could splice another length of wire in, if you are used to small-wire connections. Warning: I bought one of these in May of 2013; put it in service in July of 2013; kept it in a building (unheated) the entire time. It worked passably well until a week ago. The temperature outside is 37 F right now, but this unit says it is 126 F! Not a battery problem. If you are going to go to the trouble of splicing wires, get a thermometer that works. I've tried several for a critical heat control issue I have with my farming. Only one has continued to work: Taylor Digital Waterproof Maximum/Minimum Thermometer, -20 to 120 Degrees F ; this is a dual-wire device, same 10' leads, and it is more-or-less accurate. The others, including the one you are asking about, fail or are seriously out of calibration (worst: General Tools AQ150 Digital Aquarium Thermometer & Thomas Traceable Waterproof Thermometer, -58 to 572 degree F - Don't waste your money!)JBK

If I remember correctly, none. You put what you want or use the crimp couplers to extend the wiring.

I agree with Lawis' answer below. The old sensor can be removed from the fixture and replaced with this one.

Yes. I don't know of a way to hook up more than one sensor. Works well though.

You can shorten at the install. Once shortened you would have to splice wire to make longer.

Yes, you have to slide open one of the sides, and connect a power cord to the connectors, find a power supply near where you are planning to install it, and run the cable from there to the sensor.

I had the same issue, as the wire was only 4' long on each.However, I did cut off the existing wire and connected the new sensors with the wire nuts that were included.

I agree, line is too short. I don't see why speaker wire wouldn't work to extend. If you know anything about splicing, you'll be fine

Yes, it comes with plenty of wire and one sensor for each side of the garage door where they are mounted. Otherwise, you can connect existing sensors with old wires.

Wire isn't very long ( matbe 6 inches) but yes it is easily extendable, any small two conductor wire such as speaker wire would work fine. I extended one of mine about 6 feet.

The system is armed, not specific sensors. What you could do is remove specific sensors from the sensor & add it back later, but takes a bit of effort.

The same sensor that I received has only two wires. READ CAREFULLY THE INSTALLATION INTRUCTIONS AND Y you will be on your way. Enjoy!

There are holes in the back for a screw or nail. It is very light weight. The sensors are two dime sized metal pads on the base so you can just set it on the surface you want to protect. Unhook the base plate (like a battery cover) and you can put the sensors about 6' feet away on a wire that plays out. If you do this you might want to mount it since the base is now partly removed.

The unit comes with 3-4+ feet of wire. I would NOT extend it due to the fact that the connection may not be good and false readings may be given. just my 2 cents

Yes, that is how we did it and it works well. Be aware you will be drilling a hole through the wall by it, to pull the sensor head and wire through, and when you're done, you'll have to fill the hole on inside and outside walls (with fixall and caulk, probably).
