ADEC traffic detector

ADEC Technologies has released a simple short- to medium-range Doppler radar-based traffic detector, which features a novel accessory. As Product Manager Markus Güntensperger points out, the commissioning interface of any detector often leads to a compromise between longevity and versatility. "We felt that neither DIP switches nor additional connectors optimally serve the temporary nature of the commissioning task, but a simple IR remote control device does," he says.

1803 ADEC Technologies has released a simple short- to medium-range Doppler radar-based traffic detector, which features a novel accessory. As Product Manager Markus Güntensperger points out, the commissioning interface of any detector often leads to a compromise between longevity and versatility. "We felt that neither DIP switches nor additional connectors optimally serve the temporary nature of the commissioning task, but a simple IR remote control device does," he says.

Besides the novel approach to set application specific parameters via IR remote, the device features a detection range up to 30m at an opening angle of 25o. Output is provided via SPDT relays and feedback LEDs on the front. It can be powered from a wide range of supplies, accepting 5-60VDC or 24VAC.

Typical applications include green-phase requests at traffic lights (mobile and stationary), speed-dependent detection of vehicles and auto-operation of doors and gates.
