What is the maximum distance there can be between the computer and sensor?Also,does it measure in MPH?

The wire is pretty long...you could put the sensor on the rear wheel if you wanted to.....yes, it'll measure MPH or KM. A very cool feature of this unit is the SCAN mode; the unit will cycle 4 functions, ride time, distance, max speed & average speed, while also display current speed. It also has a "+" & "-" indicator to show above or below current average speed. It's a very sweet unit. The original battery won't last long, so get a nice 3 pack of Energizer 357 batteries.

I would estimate the wire to be about four feet. Yes, it will measure in miles for both speed and distance.

This works by a GPS Location. It does not "Sense" a speed camera. If the database says there is a speed camera somewhere, it will start beeping about 500-1000 ft before the camera even if there is no camera there. You can add locations to it for cameras that are not yet in their database. I have added several to their database. It has saved me a ton of money too. My house is bracketed by speed cameras and my commute to work has 5 cameras on it round trip.

Specifically, I don't know, however the sensors used for street traffic cover a much larger area on the ground that a gate sensor would. That said, I cannot recommend the Amanet unit which did not work for me at all. I tried 6 intersections near my home and nada. Do some research on Google and you will find that the good/no use ratio is right at 50% so if you're into flipping coins, go for it. Also ran across one writer that said he works on these magnetic traffic systems and says that they are not responsive to bike mounted magnets. Maybe need to verify this.

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.

I tested this tonight. It appears to be about 3/4 to 1 inch from the sensor.

I don't know, but I do know that it detects those "your speed is xx" machines. Whenever I am approaching one, the detector goes off. Here's the link to the manual http://www.beltronics.com/manuals/v940manual.pdf

I did not test for distance, but I would estimate it to be up to 25 feet.THE BIG PLUS for this device is that it eliminated false actuations from blowing shrubbery etc.

No...but you can hook up a simple device to give you speed and distance. It isn't exactly easy, but I got it set up and it was accurate.

Hello - I bought one of these units (base station and 3 sensors) for my parents. They live about 800 feet off of a main highway with the base station in the house in an interior hallway and it works fine. They had one 7 years prior to that and it worked fine too. I don't think you have to have the sensor and the station in "sight" of each other as most people have the base station in the interior of their home. Hope this helps - Alan

Yes. It has a cable that you can run down to either wheel (the rear is easier to hide the cable) and a set of magnets that you attach to the wheel. When the magnets rotate past the sensor on the wire, it gives the speedometer your speed. The more magnets you use, the faster your signal.

I don't know the exact range but it's very good. I have three of these sensors and one from Lowes. I wish I would have bought four. Well worth the extra money.

The max I have gone is 35.03 miles/hr, so this is 56 km/hr, so unfortunately I can not answer. I am sure, it will go higher.You can reset your max speed and then try to see how high it goes.

As per Cateye manual : 'the distance between the computer and the sensor must not exceed the transmission range of 70 cm. The back of the computer must face the sensor.' So based on that , I don't think it will work...unfortunately but I never tried it.

I'm not sure what the specifications say but it is about 60 feet from where I mounted mine to the street and as it was adjusted out of the box, it was seeing cars in the street, so I adjusted the sensitivity and aimed it a little more downward so that it would only detect the closer motion near the door. Works great so far!

The short answer is YES! The magnatometer in the unit will respond to a car at those speeds as long as there is less than 12 feet between the car and the monitor.

Not sure what you are asking. It vibrates and it measures the time, etc you are on the machine. There are preset times and you can run it on manual (I guess that's what you'd call it) to go as long as you want. The highest speed is 20 I think.

I dont remember how long the cable is, but it is a long one. Probably 8 feet is about right. From what I understand, the motorsports version includes a much shorter cable. I routed my O2 sensor cable through the floor of my car just below the instrument panel and was only a foot or so from the gauge pigtail. I could have gotten by with a 2 foot or less cable from Sensor to Gauge. So, I have a big coil of wire behind my dash.
