Using the RE524X Universal Translator and Repeater

Distance from sensor to panel. I’m looking at the Qolsys IQ with Resolution Products door, motion, and glassbreak sensors. For planning purposes, what is the maximum rule-of-thumb distance between a sensor and the panel before I should plan to deploy a repeater (I understand that results may vary…).

Multiple repeaters? If I need more range, can I use more than one Resolution Products Universal Repeater/Translator (RE524X) for a single panel, in a configuration Repeater->Repeater->Panel (where the second repeater is beyond the first repeater)?
