“SafeAlert” Proximity Warning System for HEMM
FMCW RADAR Technology Based
Our “SafeAlert” Proximity Warning System (PWS) works on the radio frequency at 2.4 GHz, to detect the moving and
stationary objects in virtual sensing range. As per DGMS requirements, it gives both audio as well as visual indicator to
alert the Dumper operator when it detects object in the sensing range of the RADAR sensor (RAdio Detection And
Ranging). This Radar sensor works on Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) technology and detects
stationary as well as moving objects.
“SafeAlert” PWS provides continuous monitoring of the obstruction in the virtual target area and in the blind spot and alerts
the dumper operator. The system gives the visual indication which increases in intensity as the object comes closer to the
operator. Also the audible tone beeps per second increases as an object becomes closer. Nearer the object, sound alert
will give more beeps/sec.
Our “SafeAlert” Proximity Warning System for HEMM consists of three components,
1) Controller with display Model - AG-PWR-XXRR
2) External Radar sensor(s) Model - AG-RAD-101 (environmentally sealed)
3) Cable system to connect the sensor(s) and the controller Model AG-HAR-XXRR
In one controller with display model - AG-PWR-XXRR, can connect maximum up to two RADAR sensor(s) Model - AG-
RAD-101. (more than two sensors is under R&D)
(XX = 01 or 02 is the number of RADAR sensors, RR= 10 m, 15 m or 20 meters. is the sensing Range).
The three detection ranges in our RADAR sensor, which is from 0 to 10m, 0 to 15m, 0 to 20 meters. Our sensor covers
more than 60% area of detection in a virtual target area of Dumper.

Virtual Target area in front and rear of the Dumper:

a. Width of the virtual target area is same as the width of the dumper
b. Length of the Virtual Target area of Blind spot distance with a uni-directional tolerance of (±) 1 meter
c. One of the edges that represents the width of the Virtual Target area will pass through the inner edge / rear axle of
the bumper.
d. The centerline of the virtual target area and the machine centerline will coincide.
Wireless Planning and Co-ordination Wing (WPC), a government of India, authority to issue the licence and approvals to
use Radio Frequency in India. WPC has given Equipment Type Approval, (ETA) for our RADAR type proximity warning
system sensor Model - AG-RAD-101, which operates at 2.4 GHz frequency. For the use of this frequency no license is
required from WPC. Refer to G.S.R. 45(E) Dated 28th January 2005.
Advantage of Proximity Warning System “SafeAlert” Radar Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave technology:
1. DGMS requirement : It gives audio and visual indicator of obstruction in the virtual target area to the
operator. Fulfills all the requirements of DGMS. Helps to prevent collisions.
2. Very Rugged : As the Radar sensor is made from polycarbonate and mild steel material. The
environmental effect is negligible. Designed for outdoor in mining dusty/rainy
condition environments.
3. Operating Voltage : 12V to 28V DC supply for Controller and Display Module.
4. Detection Type : Stationary as well as moving obstructions. Object detection includes hard and soft
target objects.
5. Sensing Range : 0 to 10m, 0 to 15m, 0 to 20 meters.
6. WPC ETA approval. : Equipment Type Approval (ETA) for “SafeAlert” system is granted by WPC so no
need to take further approval for the frequency by the user.
7. Operating Temperature : 0°C to 70°C.
8. EMI suitability : Acoustic and electrical noise resistance. Real-time auto calibration and noise
rejection for every ranging cycle.
9. Reliability : Reliable and stable range data, Quality narrow beam characteristics. Very low
power consumption. Excellent for multiple sensors. Sensor reports the range
reading directly due to in-built processor. No calibration requirement.
10. Mounting : Easy mounting, Extra Compact Housing.
Description:
The Radar sensor module (AG-RAD-101) provides very short to long-range detection and ranging, in an extra compact,
robust Polycarbonate and mild steel housing, designed to resist water intrusion. This sensor has a serial / pulse-width
output along with real-time auto calibration for changing conditions (temperature, voltage or electrical noise) ensuring
reception of the most reliable (in air) ranging data for every reading taken. The low power operation detects objects in
sensor range up to 20 meters and provides range information with 4 LEDs. Audio alert is also provided; audio sound alert
varies with the sensing distance. The interface output format is: pulse-width/serial output.
