AGD326 INTRODUCTION Pedestrian On-Crossing Detector PRODUCT AND TECHNOLOGY The AGD326 Pedestrian Detector is a smart, dynamic environment detector that makes crossings safer and more efficient by delivering robust detection day and night on wide crossings. The AGD326 radar has been designed for...
On-crossing radar/42Vac/24 GHz/Single Opto output/5m Flying Leads PRODUCT OVERVIEW This AGD326 on-crossing detector features a custom designed 24GHz planar antenna coupled with advanced radar processing in a modular design. The unit is compact in size and lightweight for ease of installation in a robust polycarbonate housing.
Detector PHYSICAL INSTALLATION 4m max STEP 1 - MOUNTING HEIGHT The AGD326 radar has been designed to operate at a mounting height of between 2m-4m, with an Detector mounted at 3m unobstructed view of the detection zone (optional height extension bracket BR-129 is available if required).
The detector is powered using a 12/24V ac/dc (+/- 20%) or 42V ac supply. The power is applied to the detector using a multi-pin mating connector. The AGD326 On Crossing Detector is provided with a Buccaneer Series PX0728/S 9 pole connector to enable direct connection to the traffic control system. The pin outs of the connector and detector function are shown below.

It should be noted that the relays are rated at Max 230Vac and 0.5Amp but also must have a minimum whetting load of 12Vdc 100mA. In addition, the relay outputs are protected by a protection device which limits current to 0.5A and has a serial impedance of approximately 15 Ohms. AGD326 | PEDESTRIAN ON-CROSSING DETECTOR...
• 24Vac - 66mA (peak 115mA) • 42Vac - 50mA (peak 90mA) • 230Vac - 10.1mA (peak 20mA) The installation of this equipment MUST conform to the latest edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations (BS7671). AGD326 | PEDESTRIAN ON-CROSSING DETECTOR...

The radar should start to detect you as soon as you step on the opposite side of the road. If it does not go into detect, it is advised you add 1m onto the length and width you have measured. Figure 2 AGD326 | PEDESTRIAN ON-CROSSING DETECTOR...

Detector PHYSICAL INSTALLATION The AGD326 has been designed to be installed as a pair to ensure coverage of the entire crossing is achieved. Each detector covers the far side of the crossing which causes dead spots that the opposite detector must cover.

Please note: The radars have a ‘may detect zone’ surrounding the must detect zone to avoid false DETECT DETECT detections from the kerb edge and vehicles encroaching on the stop line. The AGD326 also has a ZONE ZONE ±1meter accuracy due to the calibration encoded on the detector. This is more noticeable on the extremities of the radars range E.g.
TRANSMIT CHANNELS - TYPICAL SCENARIOS Co-Location of AGD Detectors Installing two or more AGD detectors e.g 306, 326 or 316, 326 on the same traffic signal pole can result in crosstalk and a degradation in performance if they are on the same frequency.

Detector PHYSICAL INSTALLATION What height should the AGD326 be mounted at and what angle of declination is recommended? The 326 should be mounted at a nominal height of between 2-4 metres from ground level and have a clear view of the pedestrian crossing area to be covered with no obstructions from other street furniture for correct operation.

• The transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. • Changes or modifications not expressly approved by AGD Systems Ltd could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. This Product is Compliant with the European Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU.
It is considered to be good practice not to subject humans to radiation levels higher than is necessary. In a works environment where multiple equipment on soak test are to be encountered then it is considered good practice to contain the equipment in an appropriate enclosure lined with radar absorbing material.
