R-GAGE Q240RA-EU-AF2Q | Radar Collision Avoidance Sensor

The R-GAGE Q240RA-EU-AF2Q is a long-range radar collision avoidance sensor, designed to protect your RMG’s or ASC’s. This model has two independent, adjustable sensing zones and detects objects up to 40 m away. The Q240RA is unaffected by wind, falling rain or snow, fog, humidity, air temperatures or sunlight, and is resistant to vibration. The sensor is low in maintenance. Simple DIP switches allow for easy setup and configuration of range, sensitivity, response time/delay and output.
The Q240WS snap-on cover is an accessory for extreme weather conditions. It is coated to help repel water and maximize signal strength. The cover is easily applied or replaced.
The SMBQ240SS3 bracket assembly provides ±20° of tilt on two axes for maximum control of sensor alignment.

R-GAGE Q120RA-EU-AF2Q | Radar Collision Avoidance Sensor

Long-range, high-sensitivity radar sensors designed for the reliable detection of moving and stationary targets and featuring two independent adjustable sensing zones.
Application: RTG Collision Avoidance
The dual detection zone capabilities of the R-GAGE™ Q120RA-EU-AF2Q sensor allow high-speed gantry cranes to slow down or stop when approaching an obstacle or another crane.
Train Detection in a Rail Yard
R-GAGE™ Q120RA-EU-AF2Q sensors provide reliable presence detection for rail cars and engines, even in congested, multiple-track areas.

R-GAGE QT50R-EU-AFSQ | Radar Collision Avoidance Sensor

High-sensitivity radar-based sensors ideal for collision avoidance on board mobile equipment, like reach stackers, forklifts and mining vehicles.
Short-range radar sensor for high-volume car parking and other vehicle detection applications.
Application: Truck Detection at Entrance/Exit Gates
R-GAGE™ radar sensors installed at entrance/exit portals replace inductive loop sensors. When a vehicle is detected, the sensors trigger lights and cameras to capture container and truck ID markings.
Application: Detection of Boats on Waterways, at Locks and Dams or in a Harbour
R-GAGE™ Radar sensors detect ships as they come into the harbour, helping workers track shipments and control traffic.
