Please be sure to keep the original packaging of the product to avoid TCM873 being destroyed by violence during transportation. The manual will be updated according to the TCM873 millimeter wave radar. It is revised, corrected and enhanced according to the radar situation to meet customer development requirements and accuracy.
4) If the radar is required to be integrated with other equipment (such as cameras), it needs to be developed by the customer. 1.3Application scenario TCM873 millimeter wave radar is suitable for traffic flow monitoring, intersection detection, perimeter security protection and other applications. Other atypical applications are as follows: ...
1.5Radar field of view The TCM873 millimeter wave radar is a medium-range radar. It can detect the distance, speed and angle information of the target by receiving the radar reflection wave.
-300km/H.. + 300km/H (+ means far from the target,-means close to the Speed range target) Velocity Point target, 0.05m/s resolution non-tracking Point target, Speed accuracy 0.02m/s non-tracking Cycle period About 80ms Number of 6TX/8RX = 48 channels antenna channels TCM873 (v1.0) Hunan Nanoradar Technology Co., Ltd. 8...
The current external interface of TCM873 only supports network port connection. 2.2Configuration, startup, shutdown, and failure When the TCM873 is connected to a device or PC through a network port, please refer to the TCM873 Millimeter Wave Radar Protocol Manual for relevant protocols.

Figure 7. Then click the Connect Device button on the left. Figure 7 Test interface of radar upper computer 2) Start the test. If the antenna surface of TCM873 radar is facing the moving target, or there is a small relative movement between the sensor and the target, the black box indicating the target will appear on the UI interface, and the target distance R will be displayed.
5 Health and protection The TCM873 millimeter-wave radar complies with national regulations and is therefore not harmful to human health. In addition, relevant studies have proved that radar has no negative effects on people. 5.1Electrostatic protection measures It is necessary to do a good job of electrostatic protection in the process of radar transportation, storage, use and access.
Since the TX and RX antenna apertures are not the same, they are affected differently by the secondary surface structure. For best performance, the wiring harness orientation should be evaluated based on the installation location, as evaluated by TCM873 (v1.0) Hunan Nanoradar Technology Co., Ltd. 17...
ETH_MX2- The TCM873 does not support reverse polarity of the power supply. Any consequences caused by reverse polarity shall be borne by the customer. The TCM873 is designed to meet the testing requirements of ISO 16750-2. 7 Size of equipment Refer to Chapter 3 for the installation position of radar, which can be installed on the vertical bar or horizontal bar.
Fig. 9 Dimension of TCM873 Veneer 8 Safety and risk The purpose of this chapter is to enable the customers and users of TCM873 to identify all possible risks in a timely and accurate manner. TCM873 is developed for applications such as traffic flow statistics and perimeter security.
