How far can the meter be from whatever sensor it uses to read the AC amperage?

Depends on the size of the wire used. 24 awg should be good for 25 feet at 240 volts.

Yes. The sensor is tethered to the unit I don't recall the exact length, but the probe is in one room and the actual gauge is outside, I get readings with out opening door. Works fine for my needs.

The ohm rage for the gauge is 33 to 240 ohms so it should read in the correct range it is a negative ground unit

It is battery operated so only cord is from readout to the sensor witch about 30 inches I have a 75 gal. and it reaches to the bottom no problem. It works good.

I have no idea and I'm not going to try.In general the meter seems pretty robust at measuring large, variable loads in the direction it was designed to measure. My application was an electric bike with a typical voltage above 50vDC and loads all the way up to 1.5kw.

Yes. It will measure and calculate cost of only the electricity passing through the sensors. For example it could measure only the power used by an air conditioning unit if it was mounted on the wires going only to the AC unit. Power used by the rest of the house would not be measured.

No - it measures wire length (in feet or meters only) according to the gauge of the wire - copper or aluminumAccuracy is pretty good

I have not personally measured this high of current on AC or DC since I have owned this meter. However FLUKE claims it is possible to measure 400 Amperes AC or DC, also up to 600 Volts AC or DC.

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

I don't know if it will work when your meter runs backwards, but I was not satisfied with the meter since the range was no better than 40-50 feet.

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

No. And I know of no way a DMM could. Only clamp type meters do that and as far as I know their use is limited to AC.

Not even sure what a kind of meter that is. Sorry. I will say you will be better off buying one of the better ( Higher priced) units. You can hook the sensors right on the wires inside the circuit box in the house. This one is cheap junk with no support and are not even sold by B&D; anymore.

about 10 m at the out most distance from the sensor. however angle of the sensor and others can reduce the range

Probably about 6 feet. It is coiled up in the unit if you leave the sensors as the bottom of the case. If you slide off the bottom the wire uncoils and you put the sensor where needed.

The meter will match your long wire, as long as it is not used with more than 100 watts PEP

Not sure what the maximum distance would be, but I put the main panel in the middle of my house and the sensors are locate up to about 30' feet away. Not problem. Also, the sensor are separated by up to 2 walls (plasterboard interior walls) from the panel. Hope this helps.
