ZKTeco VR10 Pro Barrier Radar Sensor

Overview

What it is

The ZKTeco VR10 Pro is a second generation 79 GHz millimetre-wave radar for parking barriers. Mounted on the barrier, it detects vehicles of all sizes, from motorcycles to trucks, and pedestrians in the lane, and tells the barrier mainboard when it is safe to close.

What it is used for

It prevents the boom coming down on a vehicle, person or property, and enables automatic boom closing after a vehicle has passed. It is an alternative to an induction loop, which needs the road surface cut for installation.

Key features

• Detects vehicles and pedestrians; detection distance adjustable from 1 m to 6 m
• 79 GHz operating frequency, 10 dBi antenna gain
• Relay output to the barrier, plus RS485 for PC upgrade and debugging
• Bluetooth setup and firmware upgrade with the Radar Assistant app (Android and iOS) from 3 to 5 m away
• IP67, rated -40 °C to 85 °C
• 2.5 W or less from 10 to 16 V DC
• Compact 107.5 x 73.2 x 18 mm, 228 g

Buying considerations

The VR10 Pro supports straight booms and vehicle speeds up to 15 km/h. Check that your barrier controller has a radar or safety input, and use straight boom barriers for this sensor.

Compatibility and what you need

It works with ZKTeco barriers such as the BGM300, BGM400 and BG2000 families via the relay or mainboard link. You need a 10 to 16 V DC supply from the barrier and a smartphone with Radar Assistant for configuration.
