I assume this has an ir remote. i will be installing this at about 6' and control panel is angled up. will sensor "see" the remote from below?

I cannot verify how the remote works 6 feet below BUT the remote works 6 feet above and from everywhere in my very large living room.

It should with an obstruction free path. I've found Fridgidaire remotes to be kinda crap in general, let alone at a distance. They rarely "communicate" with the AC unit. I hope your experience is different.

I installed mine 6' above the floor and the remote works just fine from every position in the room. I don't think you'll have any issues.

Well, I tried my remote about three feet below, unit is about four feet from the floor and the unit responded. Not a "scientific" test, but the unit also responds about a distance of fifteen feet at a near side angle. Probably best to verify with Frigidaire, but I think from my experience it will work for you.

No it does not. I installed in a large glass fixture and it could not see through the glass. I moved the sensor outside the glass and kept tweaking the sensitivity, but was never able to get it to work correctly. The whole thing is sitting in my garage and I am now installing insteon switches.

Hello M. Waiter: The sensor does not need direct line of site and can be mounted on the back of the TV and still "see" the remote commands. It has a velcro kit and a plastic clamp and screw for mounting the Eye in a door slot, toe-kick or behind a cabinet, speaker grill or even a wall plate. The primary intention of the Hot Link Pro sytem is to not drill a hole and still see remote controls. So hide the AV gear and Hide Hot Link Pro. Best regards, Marcus, Microsmith Inc.

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

The remote does not need a line of sight. Its a radio signal not infrared. I control it from the second floor and the thermostat is on the first floor. Quite handy.

I can point my TiVo remote control a the white wall behind me, that is 180 degrees away from the TiVo, and still control the TiVo reliably. If you can get enough IR energy reflected to the TiVo sensor, you might be able to somewhat hide the TiVo. You'd have to experiment.

We do not have a remote;it does not come with one. However,it is possible that a sensor can be installed so you could use one; Check Lowes where this shipped from.

You must aim the remote directly at the sensor, thats the only idea I have for ya

IR is line of sight. If you can't see the sensor it won't work. That goes for any IR receiver. You would need RF (radio frequency).

The IR receiver cabel that comes with the kit is 6 feet long. You can by a 25 feet extension. Thisis what I did and it works perfectly.

The sensor itself will but I'm not sure about the connector and cable length.

No. The range is poor and the remote must be pointing straight at the receiver sensor.

The further away you are, the wider area the ir sensorfocus is, so if youare looking at a wide area avg for your catedral ceiling it will prob do the job, if specific to a duct then it will have a tough time oroviding an accurate reading

The sensor is built into the top of the unit and does control it but is not separate from the device itself. They should use the term "control" sensor and not remote sensor.

As far as I can tell, this product is only manually operated. I don't see a IR window on it and a remote isn't mentioned in the directions.

No. I tried this and did not work, which makes sense because it uses IR sensor/signals. Sorry for the delay in responding.
