are the window sensors long enough to open the windows for the 2 or 3 inches, that is necessary for operation of an evaporative cooler? Dennis

In some places I just use one sensor/magnet combo in vent position...allowing window to remain open a few inches. If window is fully closed, alarm will sound if window is pushed up such that the sensor and magnet pass each other. Alternately, you can use two magnets for instant alarming in either position.

Not really. But I was just thinking about this last night. I am going to test mounting TWO magnets, about six inches apart. One will be next to the wireless unit when the window is closed. The other will be next to the wireless unit when the window is cracked for ventilation. I will buy another window sensor from Fortress and just use the wireless part as a backup in case I have a sensor go bad. PS The only caveat, of course, is the alarm has to be turned off when you are moving the windows since the wireless unit will transmit when you leave the first magnet before arriving at the second.

Hi James. This unit comes with a Temperature (thermal) Sensor. It is about 1 to 1 1/2 inches in length. The stock photo of the PWM Charge Controller is a good representation of the sensors length in comparison. I honestly don

It needs a really wide window to fit well.If you have nothing in front if the window at all it could be easy, but more awkward/bulky to do every day for meBest as a dehumidifier

I have a very large window. I bought 2 packages. They work extremely well. I'm very pleased with the product.

You could do so by mounting the unit to a larger panel that is cut to fit your window opening. The dehumidistat may not be the control you want, though. You may want to either set it to the lowest humidity setting, or bypass it, as you probably want to control the fan by your garage air temperature. Check to see if company offers similar unit with thermostat instead.

If you are referring to the length from the front of the unit back to the window opening it is approximately 4 inches.

There are several sizes to select. You have to measure your window if it fits the sizes of the fan. Just to usecommon sense sometimes. Thank you very much.

The size opening is not the important thing, it's if you have something to mount the mounting tabs to. Note you're only going to be able to cool the amount of radiator that has access to the 13" hole you're speaking of. That's the best I can tell you from here.

Yes, I replaced existing window sensors of the same design and they work great!I did not replace the magnet portion of the set, as the magnets that were in the window frame were fine, and of a different style.

This may work, it depends on the depth of the inside of your window. It is 16.5 inches back from the gates that pull out from both sides of the air conditioner and rest against the window sash.

Newer windows have a single glass pane with simulated panels. In that case you can use just one sensor. However if your door does indeed have 10 separate panes, then you would need sensors on the panes within 'arms reach' or the door lock.

The piece that goes into the window has a maximum length of 38 inches. If the height of your window is bigger then that, you would need to fill the gap with cardboard or something. Either way, the unit will work.

Not adviced by manufacture. Cooler requires 3 in. Both sides 3 in. Behind for air flow. Item is a designed to be free standing, to allow air circulation and ventilation which reduces the heat load on the motors.

It should work fine if you extend the sensor wire to the area that you need to monitor.

Yes. The window must be opened before the system is armed and it will ignore that sensor.

Check size, the opening only needs to be larger enough. 2" or larger. Estimated.

I wouldn't see why it wouldn't as long as the measurements fit the opening of the window. I love mine, I wouldn't use anything else now.
