1 Product DescriptionRadar-Based Sensors for Detection of Moving and Stationary TargetsPlaceholder• FMCW (true-presence) radar detects moving and stationary objects•Adjustable sensing field — ignores objects beyond setpoint• Easy setup and configuration of range, sensitivity, and output with simple DIPswitches• Easy setup and configuration of range, sensitivity, and output using a PC• Sensing functions are unaffected by wind, falling rain or snow, fog, humidity, airtemperatures, or light• Sensor operates in Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) telecommunicationband•Rugged IP67 housing withstands harsh environmentsProtected by US patents.CAUTION: Make No Modifications to this ProductAny modifications to this product not expressly approved by Banner Engineering could void the user'sauthority to operate the product. Contact Banner Engineering for more information.WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel ProtectionNever use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injuryor death. This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use inpersonnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized sensor output condition.1.1 ModelsModels MaximumRangeBeamAngle Telecom Approval1Output ConnectionQ130RA-9076-AFQ24 m (78 ft)90° × 76° Telecom approved for US, Canada andBrazil Bipolar NPN/PNPN.O./N.C.Configurable5-wire 2 m(6.5 ft)IntegralcableQ130RA-2450-AFQ 24° × 50° Telecom approved for Europe, UK,Australia, New Zealand, China, and Japan1.2 OverviewThe R-GAGE sensor emits a well-defined beam of high-frequency radio waves from an internal antenna. Some of thisemitted energy reflects back to the receiving antenna. Signal processing electronics in the sensor determine the distancefrom the sensor to the object based on the time delay of the return signal. The sensor can be configured (using a PC) tosense objects up to a specific distance, ignoring objects beyond this distance (also called background suppression).1For additional countries, contact Banner Engineering.

4 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, and distance fromthe sensor to the window.Locate the sensor in a position of minimum reflection from the window, which will repeat every 6.1 mm of distance betweenthe sensor and the window. The positions of maximum reflection from the window repeat between the minimums, anddecrease 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 the faceof the window are typically not an issue. However, a thick, continuous surface of water or ice directly on the face of thewindow can be detected as a dielectric boundary.R-GAGE® Q130RA-AF Sensor 8 www.bannerengineering.com - Tel: +1.763.544.3164 DRAFT
