We have a new hardwood floor installed in our dining room a long time ago and somehow an electric outlet was covered. Would this detector locate it?

As long as there is power being fed to that outlet it should pick up the current. I have detected HOT wires through drywall.

You might get lucky, but I don't think this is the right job for this tool.

If it is just below the floor level and the outlet is active and you turn the sensitivity all the way up I'm confident it will.

It is pretty sensitive. As long as there is power at the outlet it will let you know you are close to where it is.

Possibly, depending on the construction of the house, i.e. wood, concrete, etc. This determines whether the signal from the sensors can reach the control panel.

I don't know. Probably, I'd guess. Whichever one got the dial tone or called first. One other thing to mention...don't place the sensor anywhere a mouse might walk in front of it. I figured that out after the second time it alerted me (and the county sheriff) about a possible intruder at my lake home.

Most probably. You will need to get a 1/4" male to 3.5mm female connector, such as Monoprice 105493 6.35-mm Mono Plug to 3.5mm Metal Jack AdapterExcellent metal detector at a great price.

Should work electrically. I replaced an existing motion detector that went bad so I had the back plate with the threaded outlets that I could use. Your only problem would be the mechanics of mounting the detector.

If it is inside the home, any detector will be difficult to locate the ring. This one will definitely pick it up, however it will ring up nearly the same as a nail or pull tab.

Yes it will find jewelry but the detector will have a hard time differentiating the jewelry with the rest of the metal in your house. Such as nails, screws, pipes etc. Good luck

Not really. It will tell you if the hot, neutral, and ground are connected to the correct terminals on the receptacle. It works well at this and also checks gfci's. You will need to correct the wiring so it is correct.

Sorry, not sure. The cord is special, and must be bought as a second item for normal wired detectors. Not sure how the wireless would work.

I have a small cabin that is heated with wood stove and small enough that the stove and toaster are not far away. My old detector kept going off and this new one has not gone off once. Easy to wire into older hard-wired hookup. I'm a 67 year old woman and did it myself. Hardest part was hauling in the 6 foot step ladder!

I received the exact model shown and it matches(size and wires) the ones in my house. The plug for the wires is tee shaped as are the plugs that were installed in my house. They are a direct replacement and I did not change the wires. This model is an upgraded version(new hush feature). My house was built in 2000. If your house is older, you may have to splice in the new plug(tee) that comes with the detector.

The sensor is designed for alarm systems, but is 100 VAC/VDC @ 0.5 amp. If the LED strip fits those limits, it should work okay. It uses a magnetic reed relay, so should be resistant to contact corrosion. However, it is normally closed when the magnet is near, so the off/on is clearly "backward". You could either add in a relay or do something too clever like putting the magnet at the back of the drawer so that it only lights in the fully drawer open position. Neither is optimal.Dan

The sensor is located on the under side (base)of the unit. The unit itself is located on a shopbehind the house.

My experience is that the sensor must be very close to the transmitted signal. My opinion is it would not work for cable behind wallboard, etc. Could be a help in sorting out cables you can touch.

Roomba "sees" beacons such a the charging station and the barriers by use of light patterns. If you cannot see the station or barriers with your own eyes from most of the area it probably will not be able to seek or recognize their location.

I don't know that it would detect behind lath and plaster, especially with knob and tiube wiring. I had no problem following live romex behind drywall, the adjustable sensitivity works well for this, but the extra depth of the lath and plaster might be a problem.

It will detect/trip on any movement in its field of range. You can adjusted so it will aim high enough not to to cover the floor.Better yet, you can just set the alarm in "HOME" setting , just like if you're home , then the motion detector becomes inactive, just your contact alarm.
