About 3 feet for about a week until the rain shorted the whole thing out...

i have used it about 12 feet away and it worked fine. It will go further then that.

Mine is about 60 yards from house. Receiver inside. I had trouble at first getting false signals from the wind. Moved the jumper to med and now works great.

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 a motion sensor mounted in my hallway and the receiver in the garage turning on a loud bell(instead of the lights) when I'm away, that's about 25 feet through walls, I'm betting it goes farther.

It should work. The sensor has very long range. either 75 feet or 100 feet but I forgot the exact rating.

Mines about 200 feet. Straight line and receiver is upstairs. Put it closer to the house if you can.

Just tried the distance and mine seems to work quite well at 20+ feet. Mind you USB receiver is in the front clear view.

Check to see if here is anything too close to sensor Keep everything about a foot away

At long range, cannot get both to work. If I bring the button closer, they will both work. Also if too close together, they seem to conflict. My distance is 70 ft. Had to just use one receiver.

My husband believes it's 50 or 60 feet. Let me preface that to say that we have to go through our house and garage with a lot of metal between both. That tends to disrupt other wireless products we've used and made them almost useless. This works fine, so I don't really know if this answer helps or not. There is no "line of sight" between the transmitter and receiver for us.

I have the sensors 250 feet from my house where the receiver is and it works fine.

You are correct on the unit to receiver. I have it set at across my street and it is about 45 feet.I have not tried it farther.

The manual implies up to 50 feet. I deliberately aimed my unit to try and cover a limited area, but it seems to detect people at about 25', cats at about 12' and moving cars at about 40'. I'm sure the range would be greater if I aimed the sensor up a bit more.

I first placed the receiver about 50 ft away. It would trigger on when the garage door opened but not turn off when the door was closed. Contacted Skylink by email and received a response within 24 hours who suggested I place the receiver closer. It works well at 25 feet.

It is best if the sensor is placed where nothing will break the line-of-sight between the sensor and the receiver, like a car, metal building, etc. The unit will sometimes NOT WORK AT ALL if placed where anything metal, especially things affected by a magnet, can break the line-of-sight between the sensor and receiver, but if the sensor is placed really close to the receiver, sometimes it works OK. I would not chance it to work if the vehicle was passing between the sensor and receiver. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't rely on a full 400 ft. range; however, it works very well for us in 250-300 ft. range! We really like the system. If you have stone walls between the sensor and the receiver, the range is limited. We just put the receiver near a window and have no problems. It is loud enough to be heard easily throughout our large home. Hope this helps!

It depends on how far away you are. I found the further away, yes. It was about ten feet that you do have to point towards the receiver.
