On the same topic, does anybody have experience with a good glass break tester that will test to the range these detectors work, i.e. 25'?

One time my son played drum set and the high pitch sound of cymbal triggered the glass breaker sensor nearby. You can try cymbal or a piece of metal sheet to generate high pitch sound as a tester.

Honeywell FlexGuard FG-701 Tester is the tester that you would use with this glassbreak sensor

It should work, but will be right on the edge. Mine begins measuring distances between 26-28 ft.

Haven't tried the Max yet and after reading the reviews probably won't. But I do have an 8500, 9500, x50, and a Redline. The Redline is by far the best of the best. I even had it fixed once when the speaker stopped working, and that says a lot. Keep in mind that I have had this detector for years. I want maximum detection range on open highways and the Redline gives me that without question. Falsing is at a minimum as well. Now if I could only get Escort to make a decent suction cup. Got the black aftermarket one that falls off my windshield several times a week.

I wouldn't recommend it. Test the glass first one inch from the floor outside the cabinent.

Should work perfectly fine on a glass top range. With that said I would caution its use because it is quite heavy. Setting it down too hard has potential to crack the glass.

I have to open the door of the RV or through glass if line of sight . Range about 25 ft max

You will probably want to do some research into a higher grade detector. However, as with most detectors, your skill at listening and reading the meter makes all the difference.

Have you tried testing it with the sensitivity turned all the way to high? If it still doesn't sense movement with the sensitivity set to high, then it is probably defective. I have two of them and they sense movement through stucco with the sensitivity set to less than 1/3 the way to high. Glass is nothing. We had one that I bought that was doing exactly the same thing as your's as soon as I bought it, wouldn't sense movement through anything, even with the sensitivity set to high, but would sense movement inside the house. It was obviously defective so I replaced it.

I have been an Electronics Tech for 30 years now and have repaired countless industrial detectors I tested this unit the GTI in all-metal mode against 6 other top of the line detectors and the GTI 2500 went deeper than all of the other units 42.5 inches on a water pipe and deeper than the new Garrett AT Gold when using the 8.5X 11 DD coil it will detect to 15 feet when using there double coil! I have found larger targets at 3 feet in all-metal mode and coins from 2 inches to 18 inches this is a great detector although it is a little heavy compared to other detectors.

The display unit works fine and easily has the range to cover your needs. The method you need to take the measurement may require you to buy a different type of Type K thermocouple that is supplied. The thermocouple probes they supply are very small gauge and tip that is welded so they break easy and since it is small it will react to small changes in temperature. Also take care not to revers the probes in the connectors because the meter body is not keyed to prevent revers connections.

The ones I received had a pretty good range on it. 50 feet-ish. It could be that the batteries were fresh in mine. It wouldn't hurt to try. Please let me know.

Mine is tested and I can confirm that it works within just shy of 100m with a few walls in between.

As far as "totally waterproof", this detector can go down to 10 feet max, so "totally" isn't necessarily the case either. Look to the Sea Hunter or Infinium LS Series for much more "waterproof" detectors from Garrett. Remember to get yourself a good set of waterproof headphones as well because they don't come with the machine automatically. I hope this helped. Good Hunting!

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.

I have had very good luck sofar in using the to replace previous. Nearly all of these detectors are good for somwhere between 5 to seven years before the actual sensor in side begins to fail. I used these as a same style plug in repalcement rahter than having to rewire for a dif model.

I used the same brand. The sensors after about 10 years will begin to fail. After discussing the issue with tech reps from the manufacturer I replaced all of the detectors with the new replacement model and have had no problems.

Hi ... my light is mounted on a 5' fence to reach up to 45-50' around. I think the maximum motion detection range is about 65', but the higher mounting could increase the distance for motion detection. I suggest you contact the manufacturer for their answer if you need something more precise.
