1.2 Overview

The R-GAGE sensor emits a well-defined beam of high-frequency radio waves from an internal antenna. Some of this emitted energy reflects back to the receiving antenna. Signal processing electronics in the sensor determine the distance from the sensor to the object based on the time delay of the return signal. The sensor can be configured (using a PC or remote input wire) to sense objects up to a specific distance, ignoring objects beyond this distance (also called background suppression). 1 For additional countries, contact Banner Engineering. 2 Models with a quick disconnect require a mating cordset. See Quick Disconnect (QD) Cordsets on page 23. R-GAGE® Q130RA Sensor www.bannerengineering.com - Tel: + 1 888 373 6767 3

*The specific detection range depends on the radar cross section and returned signal strength of the specific target. Figure 1. Sensing Range

point, the Signal Strength indicator is on and does not flash.

Description

Signal Strength Output 1/2 Off Normally Open = Off Normally Closed = On There is no detectable object within the switch point distance that is returning a signal greater than the minimum signal strength threshold of one. Flashing Normally Open = Off Normally Closed = On An object is detected, however, the output is off because the returned signal strength is below the user-defined threshold. The flash rate increases as the signal strength increases. Flashing Normally Open = On Normally Closed = Off A target is detected and the returned signal strength is stronger than the user-defined threshold. The flash rate increases as the signal strength increases. On Normally Open = On Normally Closed = Off A target is detected and the signal is four times stronger than the user- defined signal strength threshold.

2 Installation Instructions

2.1 Sensor Orientation

Correct sensor-to-object orientation is important to ensure proper sensing. Minimize the tilt angle of a target relative to the sensor. The target should be titled less than half of the beam angle. Figure 3. Tilt angle of the target relative to the sensor

5 Remote Input

Use the remote input to program the sensor remotely. the button on the cable. The Software cannot be sampling data while remote input is in use. 0.04 seconds ≤ T ≤ 0.8 seconds . Exit remote programming modes by setting the remote input Low for longer than 2 seconds or by waiting for 60 seconds. Figure 6. Remote Input Map

5.1 Teach Output 1 Switch Point

  1. Pulse the remote input once. The green power LED flashes slowly.
  2. Teach the Output 1 switch point.

Single-pulse the remote input. T The green power LED flashes, alternating with the amber Output LEDs. Teach Accepted The sensor flashes the green power LED three times, then exits remote teach and returns to run mode. Teach Not Accepted The green Power and red Signal Strength LEDs alternate flashing and the switch point automatically moves to the maximum range (the same range as the factory default).

5.2 Remote Setup

Use Remote Setup to set the output mode to either Switch Point Object Teach or Switch Point Background Teach and to set normally open or normally closed. Changing the Output 1 Mode using remote input affects both the output configuration (normally open versus normally closed) and the Teach mode. The output configuration change takes effect immediately and can be used to change the output between normally open and normally closed without changing the switch point distance. The change in Teach mode does not immediately change the switch point location, but will affect the behavior of the next remote Teach. Switch Point Object Teach sets the switch point 0.5 meters (1.6 feet) beyond the location of the target, farther away from the sensor's face. Use Switch Point Object Teach so that the sensor can reliably detect when a target is in the same position as when it was configured. Switch Point Background Teach sets the switch point 1 meter (3.3 feet) in front of the target, closer to the sensor's face. Use Switch Point Background Teach to reliably ignore the taught background and reliably detect an object that is present in front of the taught background. 1. Access Remote Setup.

6 Reset the Sensor to Factory Defaults

Reset the sensor to factory default settings using one of two methods. Note: If a factory reset is performed through the Banner Radar Configuration Software, the remote input wire becomes disabled (factory default setting). If the sensor is returned to factory defaults by using the remote input wire, the input wire remains enabled and the rest of the settings are restored to factory defaults. Reset Using the Banner Radar Configuration Software Go to Sensor > Factory Reset. The sensor indicators flash once, the sensor is reset back to the factory default settings, and a confirmation message displays.

8 Windows

The R-GAGE sensor can be placed behind a glass or a plastic window, but the configuration must be tested and the distance 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 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 distance between 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 window materials 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 hood directly above the window. Falling rain or snow in the air in front of the window, light water mist, or small beads on the face of the window are typically not an issue. However, a thick, continuous surface of water or ice directly on the face of the window can be detected as a dielectric boundary.
