Doing so could lead toserious injury or death. This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessaryto allow its use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either anenergized or de-energized sensor output condition.OverviewThe R-GAGE sensor emits a well-defined beam of high-frequency radio waves from an internal antenna. Some of thisemitted energy is reflected back to the receiving antenna. Signal processing electronics determine the distance from thesensor to the object based on the time delay of the return signal. The sensor can be configured to two independentsensing zones.The two sensing zones are factory pre-set to default distances; they can be reconfigured for different distances using theDIP switches on the side of the sensor. The sensor is plug-in ready for immediate operation.The sensitivity is precalibrated at the factory, assuming that the sensing field will be clear of obstacles. The sensitivity canbe adjusted using the DIP switches on the side of the sensor.R-GAGE™ Q240RA-AF2 Sensor Original Document184564 Rev. A 22 September 2015184564

DimensionsAll measurements are listed in millimeters (inches), unless noted otherwise.WindowsThe R-GAGE sensor can be placed behind a glass or a plastic window, but the configuration must be tested and thedistance from the sensor to the window must be determined and controlled prior to installation. There is typically a 20%signal reduction when the sensor is placed behind a window.Polycarbonate at 4 mm thickness performs well in most situations, but the performance depends on filler materials.Thinner (1 to 3 mm) windows have high reflection. The amount of reflection depends on the material, thickness, anddistance from the sensor to the window.Locate the sensor in a position of minimum reflection from the window, which will repeat every 6.1 mm of distancebetween the sensor and the window. The positions of maximum reflection from the window repeat between the minimums,and decrease in effect until the window is approximately 150 mm (5.9 in) away. Consult the factory for pre-tested windowmaterials which can be used at any distance without issue.Additionally, the face of the window should be protected from flowing water and ice by use of a flow diverter or hooddirectly above the window. Falling rain or snow in the air in front of the window, light water mist, or small beads on theface of the window are typically not an issue. However, a thick, continuous surface of water or ice directly on the face ofthe window can be detected as a dielectric boundary.The Q240WS is a clip-on hydrophobic weather shield accessory specially designed to meet these requirements.R-GAGE™ Q240RA-AF2 Sensor P/N 184564 Rev.
