LPT-M - Operation Manual
The maximum length of wire between the ESH-A Remote Sensor and the
transmitter should not exceed 61 m (200 ft).

In large system applications, if the recommended maximum cable length needs
to be exceeded, an LNK-XT Network Extender can be used to boost the waning
signal strength. One LNK-XT extends the network length by an additional 610 m
(2000 ft). It is recommended that an LNK-XT be installed approximately every
32 LPT-M devices, or when a drop in voltage is detected.
