• Halo Beacons

Answer

The beacon range is adjustable and isn't fixed to a specific number of feet per range level. Think of it as an adjustment of signal strength. Increasing the range expands the transmission radius, and decreasing it reduces the radius.

The beacon's radius is spherical, meaning if you increase the range, your pup might receive feedback even on another floor. You'll need to experiment to find the optimal setting that meets your specific needs. This radius will work both in keep away mode & ignore fences functions.

Let's take a look at a use case where you'd like to keep your dog out of the kitchen using the keep away function. 

Take note of the red 'X' marks. These marks represent the points which warning feedback will be applied on the outermost 'X' and then boundary feedback on the second "X' as your pup approaches the beacon.

On the contrary, you can use the ignore fences function to walk with your dog through your fence outside while going for a walk or a drive and the collar will not receive any feedback. Let's take a look at a visual representation of this 'dome' of protection below.

So long as your pup's collar is within range (Blue Circle) of the ignore fences beacon on your person, no feedback will be issued at the fence warning zone, allowing you to pass through.
