Printed in USA 08/06 P/N 124617 rev. CR-GAGE™ QT50R Series SensorRadar-Based Vehicle Detection SensorWARNING . . . Not To Be Used for Personnel ProtectionNever 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 environmentsModelsModels* Sensing Range Cable Telecom Approval OutputQT50RObjects: 0.5 to 7.2 m (1.6' to 24')Background: 4 to 8 m (13' to 26')5-wire, 2 m (6.5') cable ETSI/EN 300 440 (EU except UK and France)Bipolar NPN and PNPQT50RQ 5-pin Euro-style integral QDQT50RUS 5-wire, 2 m (6.5') cable FCC Part 15 (USA)QT50RUSQ 5-pin Euro-style integral QD* For 9 m cable, add suffix “W/30” to the model number of the cabled sensor (e.g., QT50R W/30).

R-GAGE™ QT50R Series Sensors2 P/N 124617 rev. C Banner Engineering Corp. • Minneapolis, MN U.S.A.www.bannerengineering.com • Tel: 763.544.3164Figure 1. R-GAGE featuresOverviewThe 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.Figure 3. Threshold automatically placed at 90% of distance to background target that is taughtNOTE: The MODE button on this model is not functional.Background Range 4 to 8 m (13' to 26')Dead Zone 0.5 m (1.6')Background TargetDetection Range 0.5 to 7.2 m (1.6' to 24') R-GAGE Sensor (not shown to scale)Threshold Range (90% of Taught Background Range)Threshold45° 45°Figure 2.

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. If the red Signal LED does not flash, then the background target is not sufficient and a different target must be used, such as a metal plate or a corner cube reflector.2. Verify that the area between the sensor and the background is clear, and follow the programming procedure in the table below.General Notes on Programming• Once the sensor enters TEACH mode, it will default to the previous settings and exit TEACH mode after one minute.• To exit TEACH mode and return to the previous settings, push and hold the TEACH push button (or pulse the remote line) for more than two seconds.4ProcedureResultPush Button Remote Line 0.02 sec. < T < 0.8 sec. Programming Mode• Push and hold TEACH push button until Output LEDs turn ON Red• No action required; sensor is ready to be aligned and programmedPower LED: OFF Output LEDs: ON Red Signal LED: Flashes faster as background signal strength increases (i.e., as alignment improves); solid ON is bestTEACH Background Reference Target• Press and release TEACH push button • Pulse the remote lineTeach AcceptedPower LED: ON Output LEDs: OFF Signal LED: ON solidTeach UnacceptablePower LED: OFF Output LEDs: ON Sensor defaults to program mode.

Setup for tunnel train detection4 to 8 m (13' to 26') YXSetup Procedure for Tunnel Train Detection1. 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. The Output LEDs turn OFF, and the red Signal LED turns ON.5. Verify proper setup by blocking the beam. The Output LEDs should turn ON yellow.
