Specifications

Specifications are subject to change without notice.

Range

Sensor will detect a 1 m x 1 m metal plate at a distance of up to 7.2 m (24') when set up with a suitable 
background target.

Detectable Objects

Objects containing metal or other high-dielectric material

Operating Principle

Frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar 

Operating Frequency

24.05 to 24.25 GHz, ISM Band (varies slightly with national telecom regulations)

Supply Voltage

15 to 30V dc

Supply Protection Circuitry

Protected against reverse polarity and transient overvoltages

Delay at Power-up

Less than 1.5 seconds

Output Configuration

Bipolar NPN and PNP outputs, 150 mA (derate 1 mA per °C above 25° C)

Output Protection

Protected against short circuit conditions

Indicators

Power LED:

 Green 

Signal Strength LED:

 Red 

Output LEDs: 

Yellow/Red 

See “Status Indicators” above.

Adjustments

TEACH programming button for setting background reference

Operating Temperature

-20° to 55° C (-4° to 131° F)

Environmental Rating

IEC IP67; NEMA 6

Connections

2 m (6.5') or 9 m (30') 5-conductor, shielded, PVC-jacketed attached cable or integral 5-pin Euro-style QD

Certifications

 

and ETSI/EN 300 440 or FCC Part 15, depending on model

Status Indicators

Power LED

Indicates

OFF

Power is OFF.

ON Green

Power is ON.

Signal LED

Indicates

TEACH Mode 
(signal strength 
indicator for 
background)

OFF

Background target is not sufficient; use a different 
target.

ON Red (flashing)

Frequency of flash indicates alignment. LED flashes 
faster as alignment improves; solid ON indicates 
best alignment.

RUN Mode 
(alignment 
indicator for 
background 
target taught)

OFF

Background target is not being sensed.

ON Red (flashing)

Frequency of flash is proportional to background 
target taught; solid ON indicates best alignment.

Output LEDs

Indicate

ON Red

In TEACH mode.

ON Yellow

In RUN mode; target is sensed and outputs are conducting.

CAUTION . . .
