Q. How much will the signal cut down through walls?
A. The signal is able to reach the receiver as much as a couple hundred feet through walls and terrain. Flatter and less obtrusive terrain will allow the signal to reach a remarkable 600 feet.
Q. How loud is the sound?
A. The sound reaches approximately 80 decibels, which is the equivalent of a ringing telephone.
Q. Is there an on and off switch?
A. Yes, the on/off switch can be found on the side of the WR-3000 receiver.
Q. What can the relays be used for?
A. The relay can be used to connect the base station to other existing systems such as alarm panels or doorbells.
Q. Will animals set it off?
A. The WMA-3000 uses a passive infrared beam meant to detect people, vehicles, and/or large animals. An average sized house pet will likely never set off the alarm, but those living in wooded areas where arge deer roam freely will find the unit's animal-detection properties beneficial.
Q. Will falling leaves, rain etc. trigger the sensor?
A. No. The unit is completely weatherproof, which means that it both sustains against the elements without becoming damaged, and is equipped with sophisticated technology able to decipher between natural events and large objects in motion.
