R-GAGE® T30R Sensor The standard T30R-1515 and T30R-4545 have a narrower bandwidth sweep, which provides exceptional performance across most of the sensor’s range but declines in the near range. The T30R-1515-C near range models sweep across a wider bandwidth and with that added information have a smaller dead zone and improved performance in the near field, as well as maintaining that performance across its range.

R-GAGE® T30R Sensor 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 tilted less than half of the beam angle. Figure 3.

R-GAGE® T30R Sensor 3 Getting Started Power up the sensor, and verify that the power LED is ON green. 3.1 Connect to the Sensor Connect the sensor to the splitter cable from the PRO-KIT. See Configuration Tool on page 32. Connect the external power and Pro Converter cable to the splitter cable. Connect the Pro Converter cable to the PC. Open the Banner Radar Configuration Software. Go to Sensor > Connect on the Navigation toolbar. The Connection screen displays. 6.
R-GAGE® T30R Sensor 4 Banner Radar Configuration Workspace 4.1 Navigation Toolbar Use this toolbar to connect to the sensor, to save or load a configuration, or to reset to factory defaults. From the File menu, the following options are available: Load Config Load a configuration to the connected sensor. Use this option to set up multiple sensors with the same parameters. Save Config Save a configuration to a desired location for future use. Exit Exit the Banner Radar Configuration Software.
R-GAGE® T30R Sensor Hysteresis Lines Displays the hysteresis distance. 4.3 Summary Pane The Summary pane (blue shaded area) displays Distance, Signal Strength, and Output Status. Distance Displays the distance to the target. Signal Strength Displays the amount of excess gain of the signal received from the target. The excess gain is relative to the minimum detection threshold (Signal Strength Threshold = 1).
R-GAGE® T30R Sensor 4.4.2 Analog Tab The following are the parameters on the Analog tab on the Sensor Settings pane. This tab is available for analog models. Analog Span Define the outer limits of the analog range. This can be used to create a positive or negative slope. Analog output options: Current: 4 mA to 20 mA Voltage: 0 V to 10 V or 0.5 V to 4.5 V Figure 6. Slope—Voltage-Sourcing Models, 0 V to 10 V Figure 5.
R-GAGE® T30R Sensor Distance Settings Define the set point(s) and the hysteresis. Output Settings NO/NC: Select Normally Open or Normally Closed from the list. On Delay: Set an on delay in milliseconds. The maximum time is 60,000 ms. Off Delay: Set an off delay in milliseconds. The maximum time is 60,000 ms. Response Time Calculates the total response time, taking into account the general response speed and on or off delays.
R-GAGE® T30R Sensor Pulse Pro/PFM Settings Available when Output Mode is set to Pulse Pro/PFM. The T30R can generate pulses whose frequency are proportional to the sensor's measured distance, thereby providing a method for representing an analog signal with only a discrete counter. The sensing range of the sensor is scaled from 100 Hz to 600 Hz. 100 Hz equals the near range limit of the sensor, and 600 Hz equals the far sensing range limit.

R-GAGE® T30R Sensor 6.5 Beam Patterns The beam pattern of the radar sensor is dependent on the radar cross section (RCS) of the target. The beam pattern graphs are guides for representative object detection capabilities based on different sized radar cross sections and corresponding example real world targets. Use the following charts as a starting point in application setup. Note that applications vary. • Use the Beam Width versus Distance chart to understand where corresponding objects can be detected.
