Overview

For several common application scenarios in real life, the following provides some commonly used settings experience values for reference. When using them for the first time, you can set them based on the reference values. If the effect is not good, you can flexibly adjust them based on the parameter introduction in the User Manual.
This template will be divided into two parts: one is the parameter setting under Standard mode, and the other is the parameter setting under Custom mode. For the vast majority of users, the standard mode functions are sufficient. We recommend that you first try using the standard mode, and if the desired effect cannot be achieved, consider using the custom mode.
Under custom mode, the parameter settings require the user to send a command to the radar to enable the custom mode function before they can be set. After sending the command to end the setting to the radar, it should be saved and take effect.

Parameter Setting Template Under Standard Mode

Bathroom Scene

Environmental description: The room area is between 3.5 ~ 6 ㎡. There are facilities such as a washbasin, glass door, exhaust fan, and toilet in the room. The source of interference in the room is the exhaust fan.
Sensor installation suggestion: Install it at the top in the middle of the bathroom. Setting Template: Select “Bathroom Mode” for scene mode and set sensitivity to “1”.

The format of the command to be sent is (in hexadecimal):

• 53 59 05 07 00 01 03 BC 54 43
• 53 59 05 08 00 01 01 BB 54 43

Reason: Due to the small size of the bathroom, the bathroom mode with sensitivity 1 can be selected (the radar wave cannot penetrate solid walls, but can penetrate glass, partition walls, etc.). The radar should be at least 0.5m away from the exhaust fan.

Bedroom Scene

Environmental description: The room is approximately 20 ㎡ in size and contains facilities such as air conditioning, fans, and a bed. Interference sources in the room include air conditioning and fans. The radar cannot accurately distinguish between humans and pets, so pets may also interfere with the normal detection of the radar.
Sensor installation suggestion: It is recommended to install the radar at a central position in the bedroom, preferably slightly closer to the bed to ensure coverage of the sleeping area.
Setting Template: Select “Area Detection Mode” for scene mode and set sensitivity to “2”.

The format of the command to be sent is (in hexadecimal):

• 53 59 05 07 00 01 04 BD 54 43
• 53 59 05 08 00 01 02 BC 54 43

Reason: If the dynamic detection range is too large/small, you can correspondingly set the Bathroom/Bedroom Mode. If the static detection range is too large/small, you can correspondingly set sensitivity 1/sensitivity 3. (Radar waves cannot penetrate solid walls, but can penetrate glass, partition walls, etc.)
If it is not possible to exclude interference sources such as air conditioners and fans from the detection range, the air conditioners, fans, and other devices must be turned off so that the radar can enter an Unoccupied state.

Office/Conference Room Scene

Environmental description: The room has an area of approximately 35 ㎡ and is equipped with central air conditioning, curtains, and a desk. The sources of interference in the room are the central air conditioning and the curtains.
Sensor installation suggestion: It is recommended to install it at the top or a tilted position in the center of the room, while keeping a distance of at least 0.5m between the radar and the exhaust fan.
Setting Template: Select “Bedroom Mode” for scene mode and set sensitivity to “3”.

The format of the command to be sent is (in hexadecimal):

• 53 59 05 07 00 01 02 BB 54 43
• 53 59 05 08 00 01 03 BD 54 43

Reason: If the dynamic detection range is too large/small, you can set the Area Detection/Living Room Mode accordingly. If the static detection range is too large, you can set the sensitivity to 2. (Radar waves cannot penetrate solid walls, but can penetrate glass and partition walls, etc.)
Note that you need to consider the impact of wind on the curtains. If the curtains are within the radar detection range, you can reduce interference by changing the installation position or reducing the scene mode/sensitivity.

Bathroom
The environmental interference factors that cannot be controlled by the standard mode include: In the Bathroom Scene, there may be facilities such as exhaust fans, glass doors, and curtains, and the potential sources of interference may include slight vibrations caused by the exhaust fan or slight swinging of metal rings on the curtain.
Sensor installation suggestion: Suggested installation is to place the radar sensor at the top and center of the bathroom and slightly away from the exhaust fan to reduce interference.

Bedroom
The environmental interference factors that cannot be controlled by the standard mode include: In the scenario of a bedroom at home, there may be facilities such as air conditioners, fans, and floor cleaning robots, as well as pets such as cats and birds. Interference sources may exist, such as the operation of fans, air conditioners, and floor cleaning robots. Radar cannot accurately distinguish between humans and pets, so pets may also become interference sources and cause false alarms for the radar.
Sensor installation suggestion: It is recommended to install the radar at the center of the ceiling and ensure that the air conditioner is not within the detection range of the radar.

Office/Conference Room
The environmental interference factors that cannot be controlled by the standard mode include: In an office setting, there may be glass walls, central air conditioning, curtains, and other facilities in the office/meeting rooms. The interference sources may include slight vibrations caused by central air conditioning, the metal plates swinging due to the curtains, or people walking outside the glass walls.
Sensor installation suggestion: It is recommended to install the radar at the top or tilt it slightly and place it away from the central air conditioning unit.

Warehouse and Logistics
The environmental interference factors that cannot be controlled by the standard mode include: In the scenario of warehousing and logistics, the primary practical application is to trigger the function. The stationary metal storage shelves will not interfere with the radar’s detection performance, while moving loading and unloading forklifts and pedestrian traffic can trigger the radar to detect the presence of people as usual.

Sensor installation suggestion: It is recommended to install the radar at the top in the scenario of warehousing and logistics.
