Is there a minimum range that they are effective?

Thanks mate, I was hoping for a yes or no answer, just having problems reading/understanding the stats, re: fall off distance etc.

lol, no problem. There's only minimum effective range for certain weapons, as far as I know, there's no minimum range for any of the Electronic Counter Measures (ECM) in Eve, the falloff is a 50% chance of effect, after falloff, it's somewhere between 0%-50%.
Have a look around for an ECM guide, it'll give you far more detailed info on usind sensor dampeners and other ECM gear.

There's no minimum range for anything, except smartbombs, but that's in a wholly different context.
Your damps have say 30km optimal and 60km falloff. That means they work 100% at 30km and only 50% at 30+60km=90km. They'll work next to 0% and 30+60+60= 150km.
Thats a rough approximation, in full reality the faloff penalty is curved, so that at like 40km in this instance, you'll still be at next to 1005 effectivity, yet at 80km you'll be much closer to the 50% you reach at 90km then you would expect if calculating as if the penalty was linear.
Sounds confusing, but in general assume that anything up to optimal + 30-50% fallof makes relatively little difference. At anything over that you start losing more rapidly.

Yeah, things are supposed to work 100% from 0 km to optimal, and then decrease to 0% from optimal to optimal + 2x falloff.
Guns too, but in practice the accuracy of guns is also affected by their tracking; they hit better the farther, bigger, and slower your target is. So when you combine a formula that increases with distance (the tracking) with one that decreases with distance (optimal + falloff), you get a bell curve, with the peak somewhere very close to Optimal.
Except autocannons, and possibly other short-range weapons, for which the peak is somewhere past Optimal, maybe at the optimal + "a little bit of falloff" range.

There is one thing to remember - Dampers both increase locking time and decrease optimal target range for the targeted vessel.
This means that if you get close to the target you will still be slowing him down when it comes to getting a target lock on you, but you may also have moved within his degraded optimal by that point.
You will have lost one of the two benefits of dampers just about then.

quick question guys:
with my RSD i make a caracal targeting range down to lets say 10km, what i want to know is if i use the modules at 30kms after the caracal guy aquires a lock on me would he mantain the lock or will he loose it?
when you get out of your base targeting range you loose the lock on the other guy so i'm guessing is the same thing with Dampeners, but i would like some experienced feedback on this situation, thanks!

Yes, you do lose the lock when you're dampened and the target is out of your dampened sensor range.
