1 Product Description
Radar-Based Sensors for Detection of Moving and Stationary Targets
• FMCW radar detects moving and stationary objects
• Adjustable sensing field—ignores objects beyond setpoint
• Easy setup and configuration of range, sensitivity, and output using the Banner
Radar Configuration Software and Pro Converter Cable
• Sensing functions are unaffected by wind, falling rain or snow, fog, humidity, air
temperatures, or light
• Sensor operates in Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) telecommunication band
• Rugged IP67 housing withstands harsh environments
WARNING:
• Do not use this device for personnel protection
• Using this device for personnel protection could result in serious injury or death.
• This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in
personnel safety applications. A device failure or malfunction can cause either an energized (on)
or de-energized (off) output condition.

1.2 Overview
The R-GAGE sensor emits a well-defined beam of high-frequency radio waves from an internal antenna. Some of this
emitted energy reflects back to the receiving antenna. Signal processing electronics in the sensor determine the distance
from the sensor to the object based on the time delay of the return signal. The sensor can be configured (using a PC or
remote input wire) to sense objects up to a specific distance, ignoring objects beyond this distance (also called background
suppression).
