D1 Radar Sensor by Intelligent Agent
“The D1 distance sensor is an easy-to-use radar sensor that lets the developer take advantage of radar technology without knowing anything about radar”
- Detects distance information for moving and static targets.
- Avoid false positives caused by vapor, dust, smoke, rain or other small particles
- Plug and play sensor with a simple interface enables short time-to-market
- M12 connectors and IP67 housing for harsh environments.
- Fast object detection enables increased speed and efficiency
- Operates in Ultra-Wideband spectrum for Short Range Devices (SRD); no special licensing required.
- Measurement signal is not affected by wind or temperature changes
- Detect objects at distances up to 4 m
- USB and RS-232 interface
- Ignore small objects by using software settings for signal level threshold
- Operates at 12 to 30V dc
- Delivers operating temperature range of -40° to +65° C
Collision protection for Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGV)
The D1 Radar Sensor can be used for near-field detection of objects to avoid accidents that might damage goods or personnel.
Tank Gauging
The D1 Radar Sensor can be used for tank gauging to give accurate and stable measurements even in harsh environments.
Invisible Fence
The D1 Radar Sensor can be used to switch of dangerous equipment, such as a strong laser if a person comes closer than a specified range.
Robot Navigation
The D1 Radar Sensor can be used for robot navigation to distinguish between foliage and solid objects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q – What does the radar’s field of view look like?
A – The radar’s field of view is cone shaped with a 40 degree angle both horizontally and vertically.
Q – Is there any dangerous radiation from the sensor?
A – No. The sensor is a very low power transmitter and transmits less power than a normal cell phone.
Q – Will the sensor disturb other RF equipment?
A – The sensor is especially designed so that it will look like white noise to other RF equipment and should not affect other RF equipment.
