R-GAGE™ QT50R Series Sensor

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

R-GAGE™ QT50R Series Sensors Overview The R-GAGE sensor emits high-frequency radio waves from an internal antenna, which forms a well-defined beam. Some of this emitted energy is reflected back to the receiving antenna. Signal processing electronics determine the distance from the sensor to the vehicle based on the time delay of the return signal. The sensor is configured to operate like a retroreflective photoelectric sensor. See Figure 3.

R-GAGE™ QT50R Series Sensors Sensor Programming 1. Mount the sensor securely. Align the sensor with the background target, making the face of the Sensor as parallel as possible to the background target. In programming mode (only after the TEACH push button is pressed), the red Signal LED will flash faster as the alignment improves; solid ON is best.
PAGE 4
R-GAGE™ QT50R Series Sensors Setup Procedure for Tunnel Train Detection 1. Mount the sensor such that Y is 1/3 of X, and align the sensor so the center of the beam strikes the corner of the tunnel beyond the far rail, as shown in Figure 4. 2. Make sure the area between the sensor and the background is clear, and press the TEACH button until the Output LEDs turn ON red. 3. Align the sensor. The red Signal LED will flash faster as alignment improves; solid ON is best. 4. Press the TEACH button again.

Make No Modifications to this Sensor Power LED Any modifications to this sensor not expressly approved by Banner Engineering could void the user’s authority to operate the sensor. Contact the Factory for more information. 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.
