How far away from the sensor can the magnet be and still work properly?

5/8" effective 3/4" with stronger magnet or use internal terminal for remote contact with stronger magnet

My understanding is up to 1/2". Therefore it doesn't have to be under extreme proximity. However in order to work it has to be programmed so it can interface with your wireless control panel. ADT did it over the phone. I said that the battery was changed and it stopped communicating with the system otherwise they will charge you a visit if you don't have a maintenance coverage or are under warranty w

The magnet should be mounted as close to the magnet as possible. The further the magnet is away the more potential will be for false alarms. I mounted the magnets approximately a quarter to 5/16 of an inch away from the transmitter.... and I have had no false alarms on them.

The magnet seemed to work pretty well on metal, it was the camera that I had problems with. It didn't have half the range they claim it does and it seemed like it was picking up interference from the engine too.

I doubt it. We sewed the sensor onto a collar so it would stay right in front of the sensor and still had no luck.

I have to actually turn the receiver in pretty close to the spokes, it's a lot closer than I expected it to need to be. I keep the receiver probably less than an inch from the magnet. Yeah, it has to be that close, kind of annoying.

When I tested in the city it was pretty far like about 10 to 15 block ranges and possibly more far. When I was off-roading with it it was definately shorter about 300-400meter range. I personally like it but I just dont like the magnet that u have to put it on the hood or the top of the car . In the future I will upgrade to firestik but this cobra antena does the job for now

The spec says no. Even if it can, I wouldn't trust the accuracy because it is out of range. CMRR of the current sensor might not be high enough at that high current.

Sorry our trees are to far away to trip the sensor. Our trips are from people, pets and vehicles, the larger the object the farther away the trip seems to happen. As a side note still running on batteries installed 10 months previous.

Use a ferrite foil sheet between the tag and metal surface or easier yet buy an anti metal tag. You could use a plastic to raise the tag off the surface but read distance will be reduced.

I don't see why not. You'd just need to locate the sensor on the back and put the magnet on a spoke, adjust and ride til your heart's content. Perhaps the only issue would be distance of sensor from the actual computer. But I can't imagine the unit is that sensitive.

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 sensor reacts to metal so anything metal close by will trigger it. If you can put the sensor about 50 feet or so away from the gate you should be ok. I tested mine a few times so it wouldn't picked up street traffic before I installed it. Still loving it.

Well heck I guess you could put it anywhere really, within range of the sensor. I had it in a window for several days before putting it up and it went off every time I walked by, a distance of a good 3-4 feet or so with a ~45 degree cone. Once I put it on the shed I mounted it directly above the door, and it goes off every time I reach the doors. That height is about 7 feet.

I have mine about 4 feet to the right of my main PC. I have also used both of my laptops on my desk, and basically set them right on top of the magnets, with no problems. My magnet holds a Bersa 380 (Thunder) and a spare clip. It really works well.

The magnet can be placed anywhere on the wheel as long as the sensor can detect it's passage (within a couple of mm). There is a chart provided with the speedometer to determine what parameter value you need to enter based on your wheel size.

Hi Ana R.! Maureen here from The Friendly Swede:-) The magnet should have no effect whatsoever on your device. Let me know if I can be of more help here at this link:

Place it at one end with sensor facing toward middle it has about a 6 foot range

Mine is detecting motion from 35' away from the side of the sensor, which in my case is ideal, while detecting motion from the front of the sensor at about 20' away, again ideal for my situation. It all has to do with the angle with which you set the sensor. You have to play with it a bit, to get the sensor set to the angle that works best for you. Overall, I'm very happy with the light/sensor function and would recommend this fixture!
