FCC Required Information
•Warning: Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by L-3 CyTerra could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment
•NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
–Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
–Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

INSTRUCTION POINTS
•The RANGE-R2D system is a portable, handheld, battery-operated system
designed to detect moving and near-stationary targets through walls
constructed of common building materials.
•The system is comprised of a stepped-frequency,continuous-wave radar
transceiver, digital signal processor, display and power supply electronics
enclosed in a rugged, water-resistant, lightweight plastic housing.
•The operator controls consist solely of the two momentary push-button
switches located on the sides of the system.
•The graphics display on the front of the system presents target detection
information and system status.
•The display is easy to use, alerts are simple to interpret, and detection is
nearly immediate.

•The major components are as follows:
•Rotational View LCD– displays target information. The display will rotate
to match the long axis of system orientation. THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH
THE SYSTEM WITH THE LONG AXIS ORIENTED VERTICALLY.
•Scan Buttons (X2) – to perform all system operations. Scan Buttons will
also rotate to match the LCD screen.
•Battery Lid – secures the battery compartment, keeps moisture away from
the batteries.
•Rearward Antenna – helps reduce false alarm rate, The Operator should
NEVER cover this antenna.
•Receive Antenna – receives radar waves sent from the transmit antenna
•Transmit Antenna – transmits radar waves to locate targets.

INSTRUCTION POINTS
•The rearward looking antenna faces the operator and helps reduce the
influence of the operator and other “friendly” movers that could
otherwise appear as targets on the readout display.
•The rearward antenna should never be blocked during operation.
•Avoid blocking the rearward antenna when stabilizing the system.
•For both left- and right-handed use, the operator’s hand will cover the
battery compartment.
•If possible the operator should hold the sensor in the prone position
without blocking the line of site for the rear antenna. Stabilize the sensor
at eye level for best results.
•Keep operator movement to a minimum.

•Battery Indicator: Represents battery life of the system
•Target Indicator: The red square indicates one target. The red square will also indicate more than
one target in an area if they are close to each other.
•Track Indicator: Represents a detected target’s last position
•Over-temp Indicator: System has reached an internal temperature of 80 degrees Celsius and will
shut off at 85 degrees Celsius.
•Operator Movement Indicator: Informs the operator that excessive movement of the system could
be affecting the systems performance.
•Excessive Backside Movement Indicator: Lets the operator know there is too much movement
behind the system for it to work properly.
•Target Display Grid: Displays all target information (in meters)
•Horizontal Red Lines on the Display: The first two walls detected by the system. Only 2 can be
shown at a time.
•Number of Targets Indicator: Displays the total number of targets detected as a numeric value.
•Field of view lines: Displays the area of detection the system is currently scanning in. NOTE: FOV off
if wall coupled, FOV on if standoff.

•The system transmits radar waves into the target area.
•All solid objects in that area reflect the waves.
•The system receives these reflected waves, processes the return, and
analyzes the data using principles of Doppler radar to detect moving
objects and identify possible targets.

Radar waves are transmitted into the target area. The radar waves are
then reflected by solid objects. The system detects these reflected
waves, analyzes them, and interprets them on the LCD. The sensor can
be placed against the wall or from standoff.

•Relative motion is the changing distance between two objects. In other
words, it is the relative speed between these objects.
•A radar signal reflected off a stationary object (no relative motion) would
return at the same frequency as it was transmitted.
•When the target is approaching or moving towards the transmitter, the
radar signal reflected off the object will be compressed and the returned
frequency will be higher than the frequency that was transmitted.
•Conversely, a radar signal reflected off an object moving away from the
transmitter/receiver will be stretched.
•The reflected (returned) signal will be of a lower frequency than the
transmitted signal.

DOPPLER EFFECT
Radar waves reflected from a stationary target will remain constant. Radar waves
reflected from a moving object will be compressed if the object is approaching or
stretched if the object is receding.

DOPPLER EFFECT
Each movement from the
target will have an effect
on the Doppler. These
movements will be
detected by the system
and displayed on the LCD.

•The RANGE-R2D detects targets up to a range of 25 m from the sensor.
•The RANGE-R2D senses motion through non-metallic walls and barriers of
different materials such as drywall, adobe, cinderblock, and rebar
reinforced concrete. It has been tested through walls up to 12” thick, but
may not be limited to this material depth dependent upon composition
and density.
•The system is water resistant up to 4 feet for 30 minutes. The system
would have to be held underwater to stay submerged, otherwise it would
float.
