System Description
3.1
System Overview
The measurement system consists of two units that conduct a range measurement between
each other. The two units are using the time of flight of the Radar signals to measure a precise
distance between each other. The units can be configured to receive the distance values on
one unit or on both units. The units must be configured as Master and Slave devices, as
explained in chapter 6.The information of the distance measurement is available on either
device.
Both units need to be powered with either DC power supply or PoE (802.3af). The unit, where
the range measurement is requested, needs to be connected via a data interface, either
Ethernet or RS-485. Figure 1 shows the complete system including mounting bracket for
mounting on any suitable structure.
For FCC and CA, the system is for fixed operation only. This includes
installation in fixed equipment, even if the sensor itself moves within the
equipment.

Range Measurement & Range Computation
To perform a range measurement between two devices, they need to be synchronised.
Therefore, the Master device sends out a synchronization signal and the Slave synchronizes
onto that signal. When the devices are synchronized, they start automatically with the range
measurement and stay synchronized. Additionally, the front LEDs are used to show whether
the devices are synchronizing or synchronized, for more information please refer to chapter 4.
If the devices lose their wireless connection to each other (e.g. object in between) for a long
time, they will automatically re-synchronize.
