Line of Sight Rating.
This device is rated at 300 feet line of
sight (no interference, barriers or walls) but typically you will get
100 feet maximum under most real-world installations, which
include passing through barriers or walls.
4.
Metal Barriers.
Radio frequency will not pass through metal
barriers such as aluminum siding. If you have metal siding, align
the remote and console through a window to get a clear line of
sight.
The following is a table of reception loss vs. the transmission
medium. Each “wall” or obstruction decreases the transmission
range by the factor shown below.
Medium
RF Signal Strength Reduction
Glass (untreated)
5-15%
Plastics
10-15%
Wood
10-40%
Brick
10-40%
Concrete
40-80%
Metal
90-100%
