The Long Range Scanner scans enemy ships to see what the design is. Scan 1 sector away means you can scan a ship that is in the sector beside your ship that has the scanner. Scan 3 sectors means your ship can scan ships that are up to 3 movement points away. I can't really describe it well, hopefully someone else can do a better job
