(Model: ITS-AX3)
anti-collision type

User Manual
please carefully read this manual before installation.
 Copyright Notice

Thank you for choosing our vehicle detection sensor.

This kind of sensor is millimeter wave technology radar sensor and

is widely used in parking industry.

The sensor is for anti-collision use,It is installed on parking barrier

box and detect the area under the barrier arm, which ensures that if
people or vehicle is detected within the detection area, the barrier arm
will not close so that can avoid the damage to people or vehicle.

To ensure the best performance of the sensor product, please

carefully read this user manual before use ,and then install and
config it strictly following the instructions provided in this manual.

 1.Introduction
Vehicle detection sensor ITS- AX3 is designed for the entrance and
exit management of parking lot or underground garage.It can be
used as barrier arm anti-collision sensor which can precisely
control the open&close of the barrier arm by cooperating with the
gate main control board , the sensor detection area can be config -
ured by mobile App via bluetooth, compared with traditional loop
detectors, it ‘s much more convenient and smarter, meanwhile no
need any saw cuts. which greatly improve customer experience with
its excellent performance and competitive cost. It is a replacement for
loop detector.

The sensor is millimeter wave technology radar sensor with the highly
integrated RF chip SOC scheme, which has the characteristics of small
size, low cost, all-weather working capability, high detection,sensi -
tivity, high precision,easy debug&installation, very good stability and
reliability. It is a new type detector which can be perfect alternative of
loop detectors.

The sensor antenna is MIMO design that enables the sensor good
angular resolution and high angle measuring accuracy. The signal
processing and control unit apply DSP+ARM dual core architecture.
Through the combined optimization design of software and hard -
ware, this product can accurately identify and judge the targets
passing through the barrier arm area, and avoid the accident of
"vehicle or person hurt " and "barrier not closed".

 3.Features
Sensor appearance shown in Figure 1. The main features are:
LED indicators：
Two LED indicators on the front of sensor.
Red LED is for power, it will stay on when power on.
Green LED is for signal, it will stay on when objects detected in the detect area
and turns off when there is no objects.

. Detection area configuration:

Default detection length is 3m in front and 0.5m left & right side.
different detection areas can be configured via mobile APP or laptop debugging software.
Configuration parameters saving and reload:
Configuration such as detection area can be automatically saved, and the latest
configuration parameters will be loaded after sensor power off and restart.
Firmware upgrade:
The firmware can be upgraded online through App or RS-485 ,no need to dismantle
the sensor, and the new firmware will be effective just by restarting the sensor power.
Stable performance:
millimeter wave technology is strong and work perfectly in harsh environments such as
different light conditions, rain, fog, snow & dust.

 4.Installation Instructions
Compared to loop detector, The sensor installation is easier. It should
be installed on the surface of barrier gate box and vertically to the
ground. The installation must follow the below steps:

Step1. installation position

drill a Φ18mm hole on the

barrier controlbox cover to
boom inner side
install the sensor,follow the
size before drilling.

65-75cm
( small cars and van trucks)

The sensor is much more convenient than vehicle loop detector. It can

be configured by mobile App or the computer software. Mobile

App configuration:
1-downloadtheApptothe mobile phone, click the App icon and seethe user
interface as Figure 2. click Connect device button then shown in Figure 3,
select the correct radar built-in bluetooth name andstart bluetooh connect.

bluetooth name: "Radar…" or ” Mbit...”

user password: 88888888.

 7.Remarks
Please read the following instructions carefully before using sensor:
Ensure stable power supply to avoid affecting the sensor performance, It
is recommended to use 12V /1A power adapter separately for power
supply.
Sensor antenna is integrated inside. if sensor surface covered with other
things(such as water drops, snow, dust, etc.) which may affect the normal
operation of the sensor, it shall be cleaned in time.
If environment changes (such as installing the guide column, ice cream
cone, etc.) in the detection area, please learn to record the environment
again.
There shall be no objects (such as metal fence, billboard, license plate
recognition camera, wall, etc.) in the sensor detection field which will
affect the normal operation.
It is not recommended to use sensor in a single lane where different
types of barriers installed.
it is recommended to install 2 sensors or remote control barrier arm
when for entry&exit of semi trailer, concrete mixer, and other vehicles
which chassis higher than 1m.
It is not recommended to install sensor on muddy roads &extreme
weather (rainstorm, heavy snow) which may affect the sensor operation
stability.
Set the detection range based on the barrier arm length, normally this
range is slightly less than or equal to the barrier arm length, so as to
prevent people or objects from being detected by sensor when.passing
beyond the gate arm.
When environment record & learning, the fence / advertising type arm
may shake when it falls to the ground. operation can be carried out
after the arm falls completely.
Relearn the background If there is arm rebound caused by the sensor.

13
 The installation height of the sensor should be 75-80cm in case of
the metal strong scatterers like deceleration belt (for example iron
plate) are directly in front of the sensor.

Sensor applicable power supply : 9~24VDC. preferred 12V/1A

power supply or connected to camera 12/24VDC power supply.

If radar working environment is special, please contact supplier first. then install
according to the suggestions.

8.Common problems

1-Q:The sensor green light always on after installation and the

barrier arm doesn’ t fall.
A: new enhanced reflectors within the sensor detection area
need to be removed from sensor field of view or background
learning should be carried out again.

2-Q: the person stand in front of the sensor, the green light is not on.
A: The sensor is activated pedestrian / vehicle classification
function, when vehicles trigger the sensor and green light
on,The sensor then can detect.
3-Q: The sensor red light flashes.
A: It is recommended to connect an extra 12V-1A power adapter.
