1 General Information
1.1 Safety Instructions
LPR®-1D24 Systems are purely tracking and assistance systems. They
therefore do not satisfy special requirements for personal safety.
Follow the safety instructions in this documentation!
1.2 Mounting
All mounting, installation and maintenance work must be carried out by
an electrically qualified or trained person!
1.3 Repairs
SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System
LPR®-1D24
LPR®-1D24 Station – Overview and Mounting
Repairs on the devices should only be performed by Symeo GmbH.
1.4 Transport and Storage
Use the original packaging or other suitable packaging for returns and
whenever the system is to be transported. This ensures protection from
crushing, impact, moisture and electrostatic discharge.
During setup and before operation, refer to the instructions for
environmental conditions in this document and in the data sheet.
Place the cables in such a way so that they do not build the possible
cause of risk and are not damaged.
1.5 Power Supply
While installing or using it in open-air, the transient overvoltage cannot
be excluded. Here, overvoltage protection is to be used for low voltage
in accordance to DIN EN 61643-21 and IEC 61643-21.
While connecting the plug and sockets, please observe the
correspondent chapter in this document "Specification of Connectors".
Do not use damaged cables (damaged insulation, bare wires). A
defective cable may cause a fire hazard.
Be careful that the device can be damaged with reverse polarity despite
of strict implementation of polarity reversal protection. In that case the
unit must be sent to the SYMEO service for further testing.

1.6 Setup and Operation
During mounting, make sure that no objects or liquids reach inside the
device (risk of short-circuit).
In case of emergency (e.g. damaged housing, control elements or power
cables, penetration of liquids or foreign bodies) switch off the device
immediately, disconnect from the power line the device and inform your
SYMEO service.
Protect the contacts of all sockets and plugs of the device from static
electricity. Avoid touching the contacts. If touching the contacts is
unavoidable, then one should take the following precautions: Touch a
grounded object or wear a ground strap before touching the contacts.
This will dissipate static charges.
The device must be secured against falling.
The LPR®-1D24 unit must not be opened.
1.7 System Extensions and Accessories
Data cables to peripheral devices must be shielded properly.
For LAN cabling, the requirements apply in accordance with EN 50173
and EN 50174-1/2. Use of either a Category 5 shielded cable for 10/100
Ethernet or Category 5e shielded cable for Gigabit Ethernet is a
minimum requirement. The specifications of standard ISO/IEC 11801
must be complied with.
The warranty becomes void in case of any damages caused by
replacement of components on the device during installation.
1.8 Additional Instructions
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
1.9 General Requirements for Compliance of Radio Apparatus
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with Industry
Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.

2 Overview of LPR®-1D24 Unit
LPR®-1D24 is a highly precise radio sensor for distance measurement. Two paired units
allow for long range applications and enable additional data transfer at the same time. The
exact position of a moving machine component, e.g. a crane or crane trolley, can thus be
dynamically determined in real-time, while data collected at one end (e.g. a load cell input) is
available at the paired unit simultaneously.
Figure 1: LPR®-1D24 measurement path
In addition to the distance reading, the relative approach speed of the LPR® sensors is
available. Distance and speed can be used for internal collision avoidance decisions at
predetermined distance thresholds. Optional on-board relays will be activated. All data is
made available at standard interfaces.
The devices are easy to install and operate. Rough alignment between the facing units is
sufficient, even for very long distances. The multi-channel radio antenna is integrated into the
robust housing. A built-in terminal server allows straightforward configuration of the unit ID,
the paired unit ID and other parameters in any browser.
Symeo LPR® radio works highly reliable under adverse conditions. Interference with any WiFi
equipment operating in parallel can be excluded at all times. A unique ID per each unit allows
operating multiple pairs in immediate vicinity.
LPR®-1D24 sensors are maintenance-free and paired sensors can be interconnected with
other pairs, providing several distances at a single interface, e.g. for crane xy position
acquired by two sensor pairs.

3.1 Mounting of the Fall Protection
The LPR®-1D24 units must be protected against fall. For every unit Symeo provides a
protection set consisting of the following components:
A: 2 x ring nuts M5,
B: 2 x snap hooks 5 x 50 mm
C: 1 x steel cable 3 mm x 1 m
The two ring nuts must be mounted on the back of the LPR®-1D24 unit laterally on the
respective second screw from above, which are 4 mm longer than the other screws. Then
the snap hook must be attached to the ring nuts. Please put the steel cable around a pipe or
a bracket and hang it also in the snap hook (see picture below).
The backup set should be installed before the assembly of the unit to
