1. Product description
The fall detection radar makes algorithm judgment based on the
characteristics of personnel attitude parameters. It detects the falling
state of the target person through changes in speed, distance, attitude
and other motions, continuously records whether the target is in danger
of falling, and responds to the stationary residence alarm for long-term
abnormal stay. This product is installed on the top of the kitchen and
bathroom. The fall/still dwell function detection is not affected by
factors such as temperature, humidity, noise airflow, dust, light, and
complete stillness of the human body.

7. Radar Installation Instructions
7.1. Working range of radar module
The beam coverage of the R60AFD1 radar module is shown in the figure
below. The radar coverage is a three-dimensional sector of 100 °
horizontally and 100 ° vertically.
Schematic diagram of R60AFD1 radar coverage area
7.2. Radar installation direction and detection range
7.2.1 . Overhead installation
*To ensure the accuracy of radar detection, please install it on the
top!
radar is installed vertically, and the horizontal deviation angle
is ≤ 5 ° to ensure that the main beam of the radar covers the
detection area; the recommended installation height of the radar is 2
meters ≤ H ≤ 3 meters; there are no obvious obstructions and
coverings in front of the radar.
Affected by the installation height of the radar and the range of the
radar beam, in this installation mode, the maximum radius of moving
human detection is R3 ≈ 3 meters; the maximum radius of human
stationary detection is R 2 ≈ 2.25 meters ; the fall detection radius
R 1 ≤ 2 meters.
Detection range
When the overhead radar detects human activity, the trigger range is
about 4 meters * 6 meters, the detection range when the human body is
stationary is 4 meters * 4.5 meters , and the human fall detection range
is ≤ 2 meters.

8. Guide to the actual installation steps of the radar
Step 1: Confirm the main activity and stay area of the person (fall detection
area), and the center of this position is the installation position of the
radar
Step 2: Confirm the actual installation height of the radar, and set the
height of the radar according to the specific height
Step 3: Confirm the actual installation method of the radar, and select
the installation angle setting according to the specific installation
method (the installation method is top-mounted)
Step 4: Determine the entrance and exit of the space, and point the long
side of the radar to the entrance and exit to ensure the trigger effect
of people entering
Step 5: Confirm whether there is an interference source within the radar
detection range
Step 6: Confirm whether the real use scene of the radar is a
bathroom/kitchen/bedroom and other scenarios that need to consider fall
detection and stationary parking detection, and use the fall alarm and
stationary parking alarm functions accordingly.
Step 7: Follow the steps to confirm the final settings for normal use

Space size: 3.5 ㎡ - 6 ㎡
Possible sources of interference: exhaust fans/metal shutters/blackout
coated curtains
Recommended scene mode: kitchen/bathroom
Installation orientation: the long side faces the door
9. Layout Requirements for Antenna and Housing
PCBA: Need to keep the height of the radar patch ≥ 1mm than other devices
3 mm between the radar antenna surface and the housing surface
Shell detection surface: non-metallic shell, need to be straight, avoid
curved surface, affect the performance of the entire scanning area.
10.Common problem
Interference factors: Radar is an electromagnetic wave detection sensor,
and active non-living will cause false alarms. The movement of metals,
liquids, can lead to false positives. Usually, electric fans, pets close

to the radar, and the shaking of metal curtains can cause false positives.
Radar needs to be planned in terms of installation angle.
Non-interfering factors: radar electromagnetic waves will penetrate human
clothing, curtains, thin wood, and glass. The installation angle and
performance of the radar need to be determined according to the application.
Semi-interference factor: Radar judges the existence of human body and is
not suitable for directly facing the air conditioner. The motor inside the
air conditioner can cause the radar to misjudge. It is required that the
radar product does not directly face the air conditioner. Or in the same
direction as the air conditioner.
