Radar-Based Vehicle Detection Sensor

WARNING . . .  

Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection

Never use these products as sensing devices for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or death.

These sensors do NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow their use in personnel safety applications. A 
sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized sensor output condition. Consult your current Banner 
Safety Products catalog for safety products which meet OSHA, ANSI and IEC standards for personnel protection.

Features

•   Reliably detects vehicles and trains based on frequency-modulated continuous-wave 

(FMCW) radar technology

•   Detects objects up to 7.2 m (24') away using a fixed background reference target up 

to 8 m (26') away

•  Detection is unaffected by wind or changing air temperatures
•  Easy to set up using sealed push button or remote wire
•   Operates in Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) telecommunication band; no 

special license required

• 15 to 30V dc operation
•  Rugged IP67 housing for harsh environments
