Aftermarket HDMS FMCW RADAR 1 RADAR (Radio Detection and Ranging)?
It is a device that measures the distance or shape to an object by radiating strong electromagnetic waves and measuring reflected waves reflected by the object.
- Compared to other sensors, it has higher permeability (lower impact on clouds and weather) and can detect long distances.
The Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave
(FMCW) method is mostly used, the hardware configuration is easier than other modulation methods, and it has high resolution and speed resolution in terms of performance.
- HDMS FMCW RADAR is a RADAR with a 77 ~
81Ghz frequency band and is installed in heavy equipment with stable and excellent performance and is used to detect people.
It is installed in heavy equipment and can be expected to reduce injuries and accident rates due to collision prevention and prevention with RADAR and reduce the cost of human and material resources due to accident prevention.
- RADAR data output information is as follows. Distance(X,Y Coordinates) Object Signal Power PAGE - 4 -

Aftermarket HDMS FMCW RADAR 4 RADAR Installation and Test Procedure 4.1 RADAR Test Compliance
- The installation location and installation method of RADAR are based on Appendix C. Test Procedure for RADAR Sensors in ISO 16001 2017 documents.
- RADAR's test object should be a human body part protruding to the sensing area. For testing, a real person with the height of an intermediate pilot must use it in accordance with ISO 3411.
- The surrounding environment for the test should be an open space of flat terrain based on dry sand, dry gravel, or a combination of dry sand and dry gravel. Everyone except the person performing the test should be in an area not detected by RADAR (excerpt from part of the C.3 test area of ISO 16001 2017). 4.2 RADAR Installation Compliance
- This RADAR is permanently attached or fixed to the vehicle. (If the RADAR is shaken by surrounding environment or vibration, the basic sensing performance may be degraded.)
- Using RADAR's bracket or self-made bracket, it can be well fixed to the position where the RADAR is mounted.
- The recommended installation height of RADAR is 1.4-1.6m, and the angle of RADAR can be adjusted according to the installation environment. (As the angle of RADAR faces downward, the detection range decreases, and ground effect may occur due to the ground.) PAGE - 18 -

- Fix the RADAR using a tripod, adjust the height of 1.4-1.6m, and adjust the angle of the RADAR according to the environment to check the detection result of humans to adjust the installation height and angle. more.
- If the environment is complex, there is a possibility of misunderstanding. Therefore, it is recommended to perform the RADAR test in an open space with a left and right width of 10 meters or 4.4 RADAR Test Method (How to Use in Vehicle)
- In the picture below, the test was conducted by mounting it on the actual excavator equipment, and the test was conducted by mounting it using a bracket at a height of 1.5m for each equipment. The test was conducted by mounting a RADAR at a location of 1.5 meters for each equipment. PAGE - 19 -
