General Information for Your Safety

This device must be installed and maintained only by qualified, trained personnel.

Observe the safety requirements of EN 60950-1. Operate the sensor only with an SELV supply with a limited
output of up to 100 W. Use a T2.5 A fuse, for example, to reliably limit the power output.

Troubleshooting

Fault Corrective action

Gate is detected.

Decrease the size of the detection area.

Change the inclination angle.
LED not lit up.

No power supply, device not functioning.

Remote control does not respond Device is locked. Switch the operating voltage off

and on again. The sensor can now be configured

without a code for 30 minutes.

Check the remote control battery.

Conformity with Standards

EU conformity: Pepperl+Fuchs GmbH hereby

declares that the radio system type RMS-G­RC complies with Directive 2014/53/EU.
The full declaration of conformity is available at
www.pepperl-fuchs.com.

US conformity: The product RAVE-D-NA is
compliant with Part 15 of the FCC regulations.

IMPORTANT! The EU-compliant devices must

Weather Cap
(see accessories)

Commissioning

Before switching on the device, remove all
objects from the gate area that do not nor­mally belong there.

After applying the operating voltage, the
hardware and software are initialized.
This process takes approx. 10 seconds.
The LED flashes red/green.
Once this process is complete, configure the
radar. Check the settings by walking within
range of the radar.

To meet UL508 requirements, a 2.5 A slow-blow fuse should be used
between the device and the power supply.

!

* Installation of the RMS Weather
Cap is recommended
(see accessories).

Vehicle Detection

The sensor evaluates movements of
people or vehicles in different ways and switch­es the relay.

Relay function

The sensor always switches the main relay
when people are detected and when vehicles
are detected.

The sensor only activates the vehicle relay
if vehicle detection is activated, a vehicle
is detected, and there are no people in the
detection area.

Application example: Gate with separate entrance for pedestrians

Gate control with one switching input. Vehicle detection is switched on.
Only the vehicle relay is connected.

You can change the position in 5° steps. To do so, hold the PCB at the side,

turn toward the front and move to the required position. The factory setting is 15°.

Inclined detection area

The PCB can also be inserted at an angle, up to 3 notches to the right or left.

Notches can also be removed.

Use the programming buttons or

remote control to set the sensitivity
