The RVP42-7M is a professional 24.125GHz Doppler radar motion sensor specifically designed for industrial high-speed doors, warehouse doors, loading dock entrances, cold storage doors and other vehicle-access door systems.

Unlike conventional indoor motion sensors that mainly detect pedestrian movement, the RVP42-7M is developed for industrial traffic environments where forklifts, vehicles and pedestrians may approach the same automatic door. Its key advantage is the ability to differentiate forklift or vehicle traffic from pedestrians, allowing the door control system to respond according to the type and direction of the detected moving target.

The RVP42-7M is specifically engineered for industrial applications and is designed to activate and control various door systems:

• High-speed industrial doors
• Warehouse automatic doors
• Loading dock doors
• Cold storage doors
• Sectional doors
• Factory vehicle entrances
• Logistics center access doors
• Industrial garage doors

Its detection height supports installation from approximately 2m to 7m, making it suitable for overhead mounting above large industrial door openings.

In mixed industrial traffic areas, the sensor can identify movement from forklifts, vehicles, and pedestrians. This allows industrial door systems to use different activation logic depending on the approaching target, reducing unnecessary activations caused by pedestrian movement.

The radar supports movement direction detection, helping the system determine whether a forklift, vehicle or pedestrian is approaching or leaving the door.

Supported logic includes:

• Forward movement detection
• Reverse movement detection
• Bidirectional movement detection

Direction recognition helps improve door opening efficiency and reduces unnecessary activation.

The RVP42-7M supports lateral movement recognition and cross-traffic filtering, helping prevent the door from opening when the detected object is only passing across the front of the entrance rather than approaching it.

This is especially useful in:

• Warehouse aisles
• Forklift traffic lanes
• Loading areas
• Factory production zones

The sensor operates at 24.125GHz, using Doppler radar technology to detect moving objects. Unlike basic PIR sensors, radar detection is well suited to industrial door activation where forklifts and vehicles need to be detected reliably from an overhead mounting position.
