Module size

• The following figure 7.1 is the specification and size diagram of the module.
• The length and width of the module are 14 mm * 9 mm, and the PCB thickness is 1.0mm.

Power-on sequence

After the module is powered on, the OUT pin outputs a high level after a delay of 4mS, a low level after a delay of 1.85S, and enters normal induction mode after a low-level delay of 1.5S (where the first 0.5S is the software initialization time). The following Figure 8.1 is the sequence diagram of the control signal after the module is powered on:

Schematic diagram of detection range

The sensitivity of the radar sensor can be configured by modifying the software parameters. The forward limit sensing distance is about 12 meters, and the actual sensing distance can be adjusted according to the needs. Radar ranging data diagram of the following typical scene (outdoor open field, with a distance of 8 meters). If the sensitivity is set higher, the detection range will be larger accordingly. Figure 9.1 below records the distance data detected by human movement at different angles (the distance tested by different field environments will be biased).

Precautions

• When installing the antenna, avoid metal shells or components on the front of the antenna to prevent signals from being shielded. Shielding materials such as plastic or glass are allowed.
• However, the shielding materials should not be close to the front of the antenna.
• For example: in 1.5mm thick PC (polycarbonate) material, the distance between the 60G module antenna surface needs to be an integer multiple of 2.5mm,
• For example, 2.5mm / 5.0mm / 7.5mm.
• Try to avoid pointing the radar antenna directly towards large metal equipment or pipes.
• When installing multiple radar modules, ensure that the antennas of each radar module are parallel to each other as far as possible, avoid direct irradiation between the antennas, and maintain a spacing of more than 1m between the modules.
• The radar sensor should avoid facing the AC drive power supply and stay away from the rectifier bridge of the drive power supply as far as possible, so as not to interfere with the radar signal with the power frequency.
