Overview
The R-GAGE sensor emits a well-deꢃned beam of high-frequency radio waves from an internal antenna. Some of this emiꢁed energy is
reflected back to the receiving antenna. Signal processing electronics determine the distance from the sensor to the object based on the
ꢀme delay of the return signal.
The analog output is scaled over the enꢀre sensing range. The discrete output is pre-set to default distances at the factory and can be
reconꢃgured for different distances using the DIP switches on the side of the sensor. The sensor is plug-in ready for immediate
operaꢀon.
The sensiꢀvity is precalibrated at the factory, assuming that the sensing ꢃeld will be clear of obstacles. The sensiꢀvity can be adjusted
using the DIP switches on the side of the sensor.
