Manned to unmanned detection time: over 1 minute. Description The MR24HPB1 is a highly accurate narrow beam fall detection radar sensor of 90/60 degree sector, and it is more suitable within a 6-meter range. (High measurement accuracy, recommended for use at a distance of 6...
Yet it is very sensitive and has a wide range of applications. 2. Electrical characteristics and parameters 2.1. Angle and Distance Detection Parametric Content Minimum Typical Maximum Unit MR24HPB1(8-point narrow-beam antenna) Movement personnel detection metre(s) distance Distance perceived by stationary/ slightly mobile...
Fig. 2 Schematic diagram of the radar module and peripheral connections 4. Main Performance 4.1 Operating Range of Radar Module Figure 3 illustrates the beam coverage of the MR24HPB1 radar module. Basically, it covers a three-dimensional area with a horizontal angle of 90° and 60° inclined.
MR24HPB1 Fig.3 MR24HPB1 Diagram of the radar coverage area Due to the characteristics of the radar’s beam, it has a long-range coverage in the direction normal to the antenna surface but a short-range if it deviates from the normal direction of the antenna surface.

MR24HPB1 e. Early warning design function. 5. Works and Patterns 5.1. Installation Method There are three recommended installation methods for radar modules: horizontal, inclined, and overhead. 5.1.1. Horizontal Mounting Figure 4 shows the horizontal installation method. The method is primarily used to detect the presence of the human body in a standing or sitting position, such as in a living room, home appliance applications, and other situations.

MR24HPB1 Fig. 5 Diagram of the installation in oblique downward view. 5.1.3 Top Mounting Figure 4 illustrates how it is installed on top. This installation method is typically used to monitor human bodies (e.g. in a bedroom, nursing home, or hospital bed), determine fall hazards in wet and slippery environments, and to detect people who are asleep.

MR24HPB1 Fig. 6 Diagram of installation in oblique downward view Caution. A. In the various installation methods above, the radar's main beam should cover the human body's main activity area and face the normal direction as much as possible. B. When it is installed obliquely, the horizontal action distance will be correspondingly reduced due to the change in the horizontal projection of the coverage area.

MR24HPB1 ⦁ Status operation mode In this mode, the radar module periodically reports humans' presence and movement status in the current radar detection area. The main statuses include 1) unoccupied. 2) occupied, stationary. 3) occupied, active. During the status operation mode, the radar module performs internal logic discrimination to determine the environmental status's accuracy.

MR24HPB1 7.2. Effective Detection Distance For the time being, this radar module does not feature a ranging function. Its range of detection is closely related to the RCS of the target and the environment in which it operates. Therefore, the effective detection range may change depending on the environment and the target.

MR24HPB1 Non-interference factors The radar's electromagnetic waves can penetrate human clothing, curtains, veneers, and glass. The installation angle and performance of the radar should be determined according to the intended use. Semi-interference factors The radar detects the presence of a human body, which is not ideal for facing the air conditioner directly.
