What is the range on these alarms
49524
I'd guess at least 60 feet in all directions (including vertical), I have 6 of them spread over three floors and any one triggers all the others.

Don't know the range but I have them throughout my house and the furthest point I was saying there were at least 50 feet apart. Very good product!

If you are referring to the operating distance from each other,then all I can say is not having read the specification on the unit I can only tell you of my experience. I have 5 units installed and one in the kitchen is approximately 50ftfrom the master bedroom. With only those two being active they connect just fine. As you probably know when one alarms, they all go. In the description at the website it says:This alarm can also be placed in a detached workshop or shed and linked into the home's interconnected system. This sort of indicates a distance greater than what I have.

We have a fairly large home and one on each level. They seem to work perfectly when we test them.

I just tested my alarm. It's SUPER loud (loud enough you can hear it a block away.) I don't think you can hear it 2-acres away though.

the best I can tell you is that I set mine to as close to the sensor as I can without going off when I bang on the wall. I want to be alerted primarily at night if any tremors are headed our way. I'm on the New Madrid fault and the biggest we have had 6 years ago was a 4.5, enough to feel things shaking. That was at 4:30 in the morning and I was up on the computer and didn't know what to do first. That's why I bought this alarm just in case it happens when I'm in a deep sleep. Good luck.

I think the one we got was defective. I could never get the alarm set. sorry I can't answer your question.

What?... huh??? Can't hear anything but this alarm!Quite loud! Let's put it this way, for a little unit... you will want to hold your ears if it goes off!I think it's about 120 db and Pain begins at 125 db... close enough...

It the range was only 20 feet it was probably a weak battery. If you haven't changed the battery, do so. Your range should way beyond that. I've set my panic alarm by accident from inside my house. Hope this helps. These remotes are cheap and identical to my factory remote. It can't hurt to buy an extra.

It depends on the terrain...on a flat surface I have picked up KA band about 1 mile away. Generally speaking, you'll usually start to hear slight beeps at about a mile and steadier beeps as you get closer. I am pleased about this detector...good value for money. Good luck...

Just link them up and set the voice ID per the directions (so you know where the issue is if an alarm triggers). I have 8 smoke alarms and 3 CO/smoke alarms in my house. I did have problems with one of the CO alarms, but this turned out to be a defective unit, it was triggering false alarms on the system on very humid fall days when we had the windows open and there was fog outside. I've had these in play for almost 2 years now, and they've been working fine.

well i think the range is about 1 mile. without any buildings or interruptions. if he is a couple of feet away i am sure that you will have no problem. I have used them in the amusement parks with my son and had problems.

I don't know but what I can say about that piece of junk is:It developed a problem after about a monthCobys warranty wanted me to ship it to them for service at my expense (which is normal)BUT they wanted me to send them money for the return ship to me.AIN"T GONNA HAPPEN! I sent it back to Amazon for refund and bought another brank thats been fine for, I think 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 years now. I'm sorry but I don't use it for an alarm so can't comment on that.

I have not had very good luck with the range or the sensitivty of this device. I bought two of them and one does seem to have a little better sensitivity then the other but neither are great. For the price, I have simply installed them at about seven feet high and point them in the direction that I want covered. I hope that just the site of them is a deterent to an intruder. Mine are installed outside of my house but they may work better installed inside.

I would think 10 or so feet? I'm not completely sure, but my son's room is pretty big and he stretches them longer than 5 feet apart, that's for certain. I don't think we've ever changed the batteries, and we've had them for a year now (not using them every day though, of course). Yes, you can use a 2nd set. We bought my son 3 sets actually, so that he could set them all up around his room. That way we couldn't walk anywhere without an alarm going off! lol

The standard for sound alarms that remains consistent focuses on the sound level of the device when activated, which is listed at 85db at ten feet. Local statutes vary on whether or not any given device may be battery operated only, or must be hard-wired with a battery back up. That being said I cannot find any documentation regarding the noise level of this device, which means you will need to go with a product that clearly lists its sound output in DB, or clearly states that it is UL 2017 COMPLIANT.

This alarm, like most CO detectors, can sense CO at low levels, but as stated, the UL does not permit them to sound an alarm below 70 ppm. At levels between 30 and 70 ppm, it MAY sound an alarm after 30 DAYS, but by that point, you'd be seriously poisoned or dead. The UL standard does not adequately protect people from CO. If you want one that does, check out a Defender LL6070.

Not sure, I only bought one unit and it didnt work properly after a month...the alarm didnt stop beeping after being triggered and resetting it or using the remote didnt work. Save your $30, this is a piece of junk

All I can tell u is it takes 12 volt dc to operate. U can check with a meter to see if the output is 12 volt dc when alarm is activated.

The activation range of these sensors is limited, four to five feet. I have one in my garage by a window in the case of someone breaking and entering through this window. It sits on a shelf facing the window which is fully covered by drapes. The distance between the sensor and the drapes is under three feet. Anyone entering thru this side window will activate this alarm. I tried mounting it high on a wall about seven feet away from the window to prevent an intruder from disabling it. The alarm would not activate at that distance. I ran everything in front of it short of an Elephant, this gizmo would not not go into alarm mode. This is why I had to place it on a lower shelf facing the window. I don't believe the flaps on your entry will set them off if they are at least fout feet away, at the same token an intruder will have to pass within the three to four foot range to activate them, which gives the intruder the opportunity to grab and deactivate them. The y have a very limited range, certainly less tha advertised.
