Tools and Hardware Reviews of Chamberlain PIR2-300S Sensor for Reporter Wireless Alert SystemCustomer Review: Not as advertised Summary: 2 Stars
On 1/6/08 I purchased a Chamberlain Wireless alert system with a Receiver.
I installed the receiver in my den and the PIR sensor outside about 120ft from the receiver. The unit worked pretty much as advertised. It is important to note both this receiver and PIR sensor had 12 inch antennas.
On 1/14/09 I ordered three additional PIR sensors. I installed these units the same distance from the receiver as the original PIR sensor. None of the three new sensors could communicate with the receiver. I took the receiver outside and placed it on my lower rear deck. The distance between the PIR sensors, all four, and the receiver was now less than 100 feet. Now the receiver worked with all four PIR sensors. The three new PIR sensors had 6 inch antennas. I tryed making the three new PIR sensors antennas 12 inches long to see if this would correct the problem. It did not. Nothing I tryed would allow the receiver to receive a signal from the three new PIR sensors once the receiver was placed inside my house. My lower rear deck is accessed via my master bedroom. Putting the receiver inside my master bedroom, less than 100 feet from the three new PIR sensors, didn't work either. I've had to leave the receiver in a water proof compartment on my lower rear deck with the antenna exposed to get all four PIR sensors to work.
Maybe the 1,200ft range is a miss print and it should read less than
120ft.
