  • Page 7: Intended Use

    Radar distance sensor CAN R1Dx 3 Intended use 3.1 Application area Based on FMCW radar, the device monitors an area without contact and detects the distance and speed of stationary and moving objects. Target areas and zones (ROI) can be defined. The sensor was designed for industrial use (permanently installed device). However, it can also be used and operated in mobile mode (sensor moves) if the corresponding requirements are met.
  • Page 8: Restrictions Of The Application Area

    R1Dx Radar distance sensor CAN For India: Devices operating at a base frequency of 76 GHz can be used for fixed, mobile or portable applications, regardless of the spe- cific application. The following devices belong to this group: • R1D205 For Japan: Devices operating in the 79 GHz band can be used for fixed, mobile or portable applications, regardless of the specific appli- cation.
  • Page 9: Impermissible Use

    Radar distance sensor CAN R1Dx 3.3 Impermissible use Use that goes beyond the intended use of the device and is outside the technical specification (see data sheet) is not permitted. The device does not comply with the applicable safety standards for machinery and is therefore not approved as a safety component.

  • Page 30: Glossary

    R1Dx Radar distance sensor CAN Glossary RCS stands for Radar Cross Section (radar signature) and is a measure of how well a target is detectable by radar, i.e. how much of the emitted energy is reflected from a target. The higher the RCS value, the better the reflectivity and thus the visibility of the target.
