ZKTeco VR30 Barrier Radar Sensor

Overview

The ZKTeco VR30 is a radar sensor for boom barriers. It holds the barrier open while a vehicle or person is in the lane and closes it once they are clear, doing the job of a traditional induction loop without cutting the road. It suits car park barriers at malls, offices, residential complexes and campuses, protecting vehicles and pedestrians from a falling arm.

Is it right for you?

• It suits a new or existing barrier where cutting a loop into the road is unwanted or impossible.
• It covers up to 7 m with a wide 120 degree horizontal field, so one unit watches a whole lane.
• It works from -40 to 85 °C, so it suits exposed positions.
• It is set up by Bluetooth from the ZKEasyGo app, so you need a phone on iOS 12 or later or Android 10 or later.

Key features

• Vehicle and pedestrian detection accuracy above 99%.
• Maximum detection distance of 7 m.
• Horizontal field of view -60 to 60 degrees, vertical -10 to 10 degrees.
• 79 GHz millimetre-wave radar using frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) modulation, with a 2T3R multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna, 14 dBi gain, 10 dBm transmitting power and 24 dBm effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP).
• Bluetooth debugging and firmware upgrades through the ZKEasyGo app.
• 12 V DC at about 1.3 W.
• 163 × 124 × 76 mm, 197 g.

What else you need

• A boom barrier with a control input for the sensor.
• A 12 V DC supply.
• A smartphone with the ZKEasyGo app for commissioning.

Installation

A barrier installer should fit it. The sensor mounts at the barrier facing the lane, wires to the barrier control system and a 12 V DC supply, and is commissioned over Bluetooth from the ZKEasyGo app, the same app used for BGM1000 series barriers. No road cutting is needed.

Software and licences

ZKEasyGo app on iOS 12 or later or Android 10 or later, for setup, debugging and firmware upgrades.

Before you buy

• Compared with the VR10 Pro, the VR30 offers the longer 7 m range and the wide horizontal field.
• Check that your barrier controller accepts a sensor input.
