PRODUCT & TECHNOLOGY
KEY FEATURES
• Easy setting configuration means one product for many applications
• Range configurable up to 120m
• Accurate detection zone for improved host system efficiency
• Performance is super tolerant to weather conditions and other sources of interference
• WiFi AGD Touch-setup - speeds installation & reduces risk
• Huge 50% reduction in power consumption on previous AGD206 product
• Architecture based on 32 bit ARM® Cortex® processing core
The AGD306 is a smart FMCW radar which is
designed to make vehicle movements at Traic
Control Installations more eicient. The design is
also robust, cost-eective and highly configurable
which also makes it suitable for multiple
Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) management
applications.
The radar operation is ‘trickle-down’ technology
from the proven and approved AGD range of speed
enforcement products giving it significant pedigree at
this level of product.
Configuration of the radar’s settings is via the unique
WiFi AGD Touch-Setup which allows users to set and
monitor the radars performance wirelessly from
a smart-phone or tablet without any proprietary
soware or app.

Introduction
PRODUCT VARIANTS
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The AGD306 is an above ground dynamic radar detector. This compact unit, featuring a custom planar antenna
has been specifically designed to detect a variety of targets at greater distances, whilst reducing power
consumption by 50% over its predecessor. Improved tolerance to external sources of interference further
improves host system eiciency.
The detector has a configurable, single zone of detection, covering a range of 5 to 120m along the carriageway.
An output is generated by the detector as the target travels above the low speed threshold within the specified
area of detection.
The detector utilises AGD’s WiFi Touch-setup. This 3 step process allows simple and easy configuration via a
laptop, tablet or mobile device, without the need for any additional soware or applications. Parameters that
can be altered include detection direction (advancing, receding or bi-directional), low speed threshold (4 or 8
kph), maximum range (30-120m) and transmission channels (1-2), to help prevent interference between units.
New settings are implemented upon saving.

STEP 3 - VERIFICATION AND ADJUSTMENT - Confirm that the radar is correctly aligned by ensuring that targets
are reliably detected within the specified detection zone. Adjust if necessary and retest. Once aligned correctly,
ensure that the mounting nut is fully tightened and that the detector is secure.
Installation and Commissioning
PHYSICAL INSTALLATION
STEP 1 - MOUNTING HEIGHT
The AGD306 radar has been
designed to operate at a
mounting height of between
2m-5m, with an unobstructed
view of the detection zone.
Height extension bracket
BR-129 should be used
where required.
STEP 2 - DETECTOR ALIGNMENT - The AGD306
should be mounted using the supplied hardware.
Direct the radar to point at the center of the furthest
point of detection. For short range applications the
detector should be angled down as shown in the
diagram below. Lightly tighten the mounting nut to
prevent any movement.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
12/24V ac/dc – Multi-pin Connector or 5m Flying Lead
The AGD306 is powered by a 12/24V ac/dc supply.
Power is supplied to the detector using the multi-pin
mating connector.
The AGD306 is provided with a Buccaneer Series
PX0728/S 9 Pin connector to enable direct
connection to the traic control system.
The pinouts of the connector and detector
function are shown below:

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
230Vac - 5m Flying Leads
The AGD306 is powered by 230Vac and it is essential that the detector is connected to the correct power supply.
Consideration must be given to the multiple grounding of supplies and to its eect on the whole system. The
detector is supplied with two 5m flying leads. One is the power supply for the detector and the other is the signal
output and the correct cables should be identified before connection.
The switched outputs on the 230V variants are relays. It should be noted that the relays are rated at Max 230Vac and
500mA but also must have a minimum whetting load of 12Vdc 100mA. In addition the relay outputs are protected by
protection device which limits current to 500mA and has a serial impedance of approximately 15 Ohms.
APPLYING POWER
• Make sure the power supply is the correct
voltage, which can be found on the label on
the unit.
• Connect the unit to the supply.
• Once powered, the front and rear LEDs should
flash five times whilst the radar performs its
self check routines.
Upon power up, owing to the nature of the equipment’s power supply, an initial current of up to 200mA can be
drawn and the supply should be fused as follows:
230V models: This product must be protected by a 3A circuit breaker.
12/24V Models: This product must be protected by a 1A circuit breaker or in-line fuse.
Typical Power Consumption
• 12Vdc - 70mA (195mA peak)
• 24Vdc - 35mA (85mA peak)
• 24Vac - 56mA (95mA peak)
• 230Vac - 9.6mA (20mA peak)
The installation of this equipment MUST conform to the latest edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations (BS7671).

CONNECTING
AGD306 is configured using AGD WiFi Touch-setup.
This is a simple, 3 step process, allowing the end user to
connect and configure the unit via browser on their laptop,
tablet or mobile device.
This step-through process describes the actions required to
connect to the radar.
Connecting Wifi
Upon powering up, wait for the LED on the rear of the unit
to flash 5 times, this signifies that the firmware has correctly
started. Search for the unit and identify the unit by its serial
number:
306:XXXXXX-XXXX (the ‘X’ denotes the S/N)
Click ‘connect’ and input the default password:
AGD306:XXXXXX-XXXX (the ‘X’ denotes the S/N)
*please note that this is case sensitive and contains special
characters*
The LED on the rear of the radar should now be
illuminated blue to show that WiFi is successfully connected.
Your device should also show as connected on it’s WiFi
network tab.
Connecting Device
Complete Wifi connection step as above.
