Short Range Collision Avoidance Radar

1-Brief Introduction
CAR-A60-1 77GHz millimeter wave blind spot sensor radar is developed for the detection of
obstacles in front and forward collision warning when driving at medium/low speed. Compared with
infrared, laser and ultrasonic radars, millimeter wave radar is less affected by weather changes and
has good anti-jamming performance and range detection ability.

The dimensions are 92.4 * 76.1 * 22.3mm, detection distance 40m, integrated CAN interface.

2-Precautions for product use

● please keep the radar clean during installation. Clean the radar with a soft wet cloth, and then dry it naturally.

● please pay attention to the shape of the radar during installation to ensure that the radar is not deformed, and do
not squeeze, bump or fall.

● during installation, try to stay away from high-power electrical equipment and motors with strong magnetic field
Interference.

● during the test, there shall be no obstructions within the radar beam range, and the test environment shall be as
wide as possible to avoid affecting the measurement results.

● during installation, ensure that the radar is brand new, and do not disassemble it by yourself.
If you encounter problems that cannot be solved during installation and use, please contact the manufacturer for
assistance.

4.3 test operation steps

The following devices need to be prepared during the test:

Sr No. Device name Q'ty

1 CAR-A60-1 radar 1
2 CAR-A60-1 radar wire harness 1
2 Laptop 1
3 USB CAN box(adaptor) 1
4 power terminal (DC female head) 1
5 12V power adapter 1
6 test software 1

1. Prepare the USB CAN box ( support USBCAN (CANalyst-II ) ), and install the driver on the Laptop at the same
time.
2. Connect the radar harness end blue wire (CAN_H) and yellow wire (CAN_L) to the corresponding terminal on the
USB CAN box, also connect the radar harness end red wire (power positive) and black wire (power negative) to the
DC female head (power supply end).

3. After the 12 VDC power supply is connected, the green light (power) of the USB CAN box will be on continuously.

As shown in the figure below, the CAN box communicates with the radar. The delivery packing list does not include
the CAN box. If necessary, customers can purchase by themselves or from the radar manufacturer,.

4. Connect the USB interface of the USB CAN box(adaptor) to the laptop and open the test software.

Area ① is the radar coordinate map, showing the blind spot sensor radar detection results; Area ② is the
camera display for comparison and recording test; Area ③ is the radar setting function interface. Click "connect
equipment" button to connect the radar.

If there is no data output, the CAN box test can be carried out first,

1. Open CANTest software

2. Select "select device - USBCAN-2E-U " in the upper left corner of the software

5- Frequently asked questions（ FAQs）

Q1: during the test, click the open test and there is no response
A: 1. Whether the USB CAN box(adaptor) is suitable.
2. Whether the power supply is connected correctly ( 12V).
3. Whether CAN box drive is installed

Q2: poor test results?

A: Please check the quick use guide carefully, pay attention to the installation height and direction of the radar,
and keep the radar perpendicular to the ground. In case of detection distance short, please check whether the
radar is installed vertically.

Q3: poor indoor detection effect?

A: There is multipath effect indoors. It is recommended to evaluate it outdoors. If test Indoors, the radar can be
tested against strong reflectors such as the ceiling.
