Radar
Low consumption speed sensor
AMG061-002
- Cost effective and highly performing
- Designed for low power uses (solar, battery)
- Configurable distance detection range
- Compact and lightweight
The AMG061-002 is a compact Doppler radar which operates in the 24 GHz K-band. It is a low-power sensor designed to offer exceptional detection performance and versatility for diverse traffic management applications.
This cost-effective sensor is well suited for battery and solar-powered uses. It has a fast-sleep/fast-wakeup function that allows two different radar processing consumption modes. One with a current of 89mA (@ 12V) when targets are detected and speed/distance measurements are carried out and, the other drawing 29mA (@ 12V) when there are no Doppler signals received which ensures low power consumption overall
- 5 km/h to 255 km/h speed range
- Adjustable detection distance (10m to 150m)
- Up to 14 configurable speed thresholds
- Speed measured every 50 ms with 1km/h precision.
- Approach or bi-directional detection
- Rapid sleep / rapid wakeup function
- RS232 output. UART and RS485 available on request
Installation recommendations
This sensor should be installed at an angle, or a field of view to the road, of < 10° for speed measurements with less than 2% error. Installation at an angle of > 45° can result in speed measurements with low accuracy.
The thinner the beamwidth is in the target moving plan, the more accurate the speed measurement is. Hence, to ensure accurate speed detection, place the wide side of the sensor horizontally for detection from the side of the road. For detection from above, place the wide side of the sensor vertically.
