What is the greatest distance the sensor can be placed from the receiver (alarm system)?

The instructions say approximately 100 meters (so 328 feet). Ours is just over 100 feet away.

The transmission range between the sensor and the receiver is 328ft/100m approximately in the open air.

I'm not sure. I only know it works for us and our driveway is probably 150 yards with no problem.

I'm not sure how far but I know it works 50 ft. from it. I have it on the ceiling of my front porch so I know when someone is at my mailbox and I hear it in the back patio of my house.

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

Mine is about 60 yards from house. Receiver inside. I had trouble at first getting false signals from the wind. Moved the jumper to med and now works great.

Think it's close, but I think you can use an extension cord. They also sell extensions for the sensors.

4". Not sure on range but I put tape over the sensor to reduce triggering it from people walking past the bathroom

A one-inch hole would be plenty. If you would prefer a smaller hole, how about:1) Clip the cable so that the sensor plate is no longer attached.2) There are two wires in the cable; clip one of the two wires 1/4" shorter than the other.3) Strip off some insulation from each of the two wires. Be sure not to strip so much off the longer wire that the shorter wire can touch the longer wire's bare metal, and thus sound a false alarm.Once you've done that, you could probably shove the wire through a very tiny hole and it would still do a fine job of detecting water.

I first placed the receiver about 50 ft away. It would trigger on when the garage door opened but not turn off when the door was closed. Contacted Skylink by email and received a response within 24 hours who suggested I place the receiver closer. It works well at 25 feet.

The remote is a direct line of sight so the remote has to point directly at the sensor. That being said mine has worked at about 4-8 feet away.

I'm sorry I misunderstood. I am using my siren with a transmitter an door sensor. I have mounted my siren 35ft from transmitter. I 'm not using the remote.

Yes, just make sure that the detector you buy goes the distance. They are different. I bought 2 detectors. First one set up about 450 yards away and then the 2nd one about 100 ydsaway to let me know when someone is closer. I love them !

I cannot answer for sure the maximum range. I use it very successfully with a spread of 45' and the trigger is mounted outside our front door, so that's through a very well insulated front door and surrounding wall structure. It's been in service for well over a year now and still on the original batteries. The transmitter switch trigger one unit in the master bedroom and another in the main hallway so my wife, who is very hearing impaired, can know when there is someone at the door regardless of where she is in the house.

The range of motion I have experience is about 20 feet. That is in consistent way in which the sensor responds every time. I tried to expand that range an you can see that it is not that consistent in its detection, but that is my experience. either way putting it on a base before installing it to the wall or on the wall, my experience is that 20 feet is the most consistent range on this system.

I wouldn't rely on a full 400 ft. range; however, it works very well for us in 250-300 ft. range! We really like the system. If you have stone walls between the sensor and the receiver, the range is limited. We just put the receiver near a window and have no problems. It is loud enough to be heard easily throughout our large home. Hope this helps!

Mines about 200 feet. Straight line and receiver is upstairs. Put it closer to the house if you can.

The 40 ft refers to the distance that the sensor will detect movement. The 450 feet is the distance from the indoor chime to the sensor.

That's a really good question! I have no idea. Depends on where the sensor is.

It is best if the sensor is placed where nothing will break the line-of-sight between the sensor and the receiver, like a car, metal building, etc. The unit will sometimes NOT WORK AT ALL if placed where anything metal, especially things affected by a magnet, can break the line-of-sight between the sensor and receiver, but if the sensor is placed really close to the receiver, sometimes it works OK. I would not chance it to work if the vehicle was passing between the sensor and receiver. Hope this helps.
