Our house is within several hundred yards of high tension lines. Does anyone know if this will affect the readings? Thanks

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure you need a different type of radiation detector. Look into an electromagnetic radiation detector.

I dont think so, im running mine at 200' and it works great. Much cheaper than running a hard line.

The amount of line you let out depends how well it holds. The more current and wind, the more line you need to use. mine works great.

On small wires on utility poles at a moderate distance from 30 yards no, but bigger heavy lines im not for sure I don't know if it's the small diameter of the surface or the roundness but it's very hard to hold steady enough for scanning

I've experienced the results of high readings way above my real bood pressure tested on another device. So needless to say I'm not sastified with this particular cuff.

I have a cinderblock house covered in stucco and 50's plaster on the inside. My garage is stucco also. I have a sensor inside my garage and the main unit can still read the sensor through both of them and about 20 ft away. clear open area this will do 100 ft no problem.

Yes, there is a chance that that can happen. A hi humidity sensor in the duct work can help prevent this. They are usually set at 85% RH.

I mounted mine on the corner of my house attached to a couple of sections of pipe and got it up pretty high and it work very well. I was getting a 5 mile range until all the sudden I couldn't get a mile and I don't know what happened but for the time it worked really well in that configuration I used about 50 feet of coax

good question ,, i can tell u this . when it rains the readings go up , so i would have to say yes, but more research is needed, which im gonna look into .

The pamphlet inside the package recommends putting the detector in certain areas of the house that may become susceptible early-on such as stairs, near kitchen, etc. The height on wall is not specified. I have mine plugged in close to the floor. I am assuming it is calibrated to pickup on low CO levels before it becomes dangerous. You might have to call in and talk to their customer service people about the specifics.

I read about 3 milligauss with the meter right against the cable connection at home with Comcast cable. I read off the charts from the electrical receptacle which is about 1 foot away from it though. Maybe your reading something else at the same time?

Sorry to say, I have not seen a shift in the readings due to temperature. The unit is hand held, so if it has a temperature sensor that is part of the unit, it is buried in the body of the unit. Suggest you contact the OEM about this question. Sorry again, but all I am worried about is- is the wood dry enough to start working. In my case, the moisture just needs to be low... not mid or high.

Mark, I ran my wire in the expansion line in the drive way and sidewalk ( the wire is space about 3.5 feet apaert where i live) and put a some clear silicone calk over it. I've never had a problem and you can't even see that it there. Hope this helps.

I gave this as a gift to new parents. However, the new mommy told me that her hubby was using it to read the temp of things all over the house. Not sure how accurate the readings are on these other surfaces. Can you contact the manufacturer just to be safe?

The instructions state that the farther away you are, the larger the area will be that you are measuring. In my house I read the hvac registrars in an 8 ft ceiling no problem. But if it's a precision reading you are looking for (ie temp of a small area) it may not be best. I would think all hand helds would have the same issue though.

You shouldn't have to. So, there's a stray current you are measuring, or there's something wrong with your meter. I'm assuming you only have one wire going through the jaws, and that you have the wire centered as best you can. Is your reading off in all ranges?

Not in the slightest. If you get the connection moist you will have noisy readings.
