Important information
This document is designed to familiarize the user with the unit so that the unit is used for its cor-
rect purpose. This document provides important information. Following these instructions helps to
avoid hazards and repair costs, and to reduce failure times.
1.1 Obligation to Read
This document must be carefully read, understood and applied by all persons who are involved in
the operation of the unit or system. For your own safety, please read the Safety Instructions sec-
tion with particular care. Following all instructions exactly will ensure that neither yourself nor any
other person is put at risk and will avoid damage to the unit or system. Please contact the cus-
tomer service of ROBOT Visual Systems GmbH if you have any questions that are not dealt with in
this document.
1.2 Target Group
This document is aimed at qualified staff that has been specially trained to operate the unit.
1.3 Storing the document
This document must be kept for future use and made available to the staff at any time. Excerpts
are not allowed.
1.4 FCC / IC Compliance Information
This K-Band RADAR device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digi-
tal device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can ra-
diate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in
a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to
correct the interference at his own expense.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. this device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Changes or modifications made to this equipment not expressly approved by JENOPTIK Robot
GmbH may void the FCC authorization to operate this equipment.

2 Product Information
The sensor includes an advanced 24 GHz Radar module and a high-performance Radar signal
processor, all sealed within a compact and rugged aluminum case. Communication and power is
carried through a single screened cable that locks into an 8-Pol 1-K socket from Lemosa.
The 24 GHz Radar module is mounted directly behind a plastic “window”, or Radom, in the front
face of the enclosure. Microwave energy passes exclusively through this Radom.
Multiple RRS24F-ST3 can jointly monitor traffic from different directions. To avoid interference
each sensor must then operate on a different frequency. Three frequencies are available:
Frequency Set 1: 24,08 GHz
Frequency Set 2: 24,12 GHz
Frequency Set 3: 24.16 GHz
The active frequency set must be selected prior to starting the transmitter. Other frequencies are
not available.
In the rear face is a dual color (red / green) LED visible. The light from this LED is indicative of
the status of the sensor.
LED Color Sensor Status
Orange Sensor power is available; Radar signal proc-
essor is being initialized.
Green Sensor waiting for commands from host
Red blinking Sensor failure

2.1 Positioning the Sensor
Both sides of the enclosure have 20 mm wide
grooves to accept horizontal or vertical guides.
The guides are secured to the sensor by 2x M6
bolts (left / right) in the threaded inserts.
Microwave energy from the Radar module passes
normally through the plastic Radom in the front
of the case (left side in this photograph). The
sensor is typically pointed directly into the traffic
to be monitored.
A typical arrangement of the sensor is next to the road such that the microwave transmission is
directed along the lanes of traffic.
Each vehicle reflects some of the microwave energy back to the sensor, to be received by the Ra-
dar module. The Radar signal processor recovers from the received signal:
− the speed of each vehicle in the field of the microwave transmission.
− the position of each vehicle in a 2D Cartesian co-ordinate system.
Up to 32 vehicles can be simultaneously monitored by the sensor.
Speed and position of each vehicle is updated more than 100x each second. These values contrib-
ute to up to 32 tracks, each associated with a specific vehicle. Should a track cross one of multiple
RRS24F-ST3

user defined trigger lines, then the current speed and position of that vehicle is transmitted auto-
matically to the host – typically a SmartCamera system – for evidence collection.
2.2 Connection to SmartCamera system
The sensor is typically connected directly to a “SmartCamera” system from Jenoptik Robot. All
parameterization and control of the sensor is done using the customized fields of the camera GUI.
A single cable carries the 115,2-kbaud serial interface and provides power to the sensor from the
camera.
For complete information regarding the application of the sensor to traffic monitoring consult the
documentation provided with the SmartCamera system.
