Microwave Radar | RD24-4S | Easy Installation | Temperature Resistant Fast Response
This RD24-4S Microwave Radar stands out as a versatile motion detection solution for all door access systems, engineered with effortless installation, robust temperature resistance and ultra fast response—three core strengths that make it a top choice for commercial, retail and industrial settings. Built on professional 24.125GHz microwave Doppler technology, its fast response capability instantly detects valid motion targets moving at ≥5cm/s along the sensor axis, delivering real-time trigger signals for automatic doors, sliding glass doors and commercial entryways, eliminating lag and ensuring smooth, timely access for high-traffic footfall. No complex wiring or professional tools are needed for its easy installation: the compact ABS housing (120×80×50mm) and lightweight 0.215kg build enable direct surface mounting, the 2.2m pre-wired cable fits JST and relay interfaces, and the intuitive LED status indicator and gentle-adjust sensitivity potentiometer simplify one-step calibration right after mounting.
What elevates this radar further is its exceptional temperature resistance, operating stably in an extreme range of -20℃ to +55℃. It performs reliably in cold winter outdoor covered entryways and hot summer indoor commercial spaces without signal drift or performance drop, far exceeding ordinary sensors’ environmental adaptability. Paired with IP54 dustproof and waterproof protection, it resists daily dust, splashes and wear, ensuring long-term durability in harsh working conditions. With low power consumption (≤2W) and wide 12-24V AC/DC voltage compatibility, it integrates seamlessly into existing power setups without additional adapters. Compliant with R&TTE and EMC international standards, this RD24-4S Microwave Radar combines easy setup, all-temperature adaptability and fast motion response, making it a plug-and-play, low-maintenance motion sensing solution for diverse door automation needs.

Installation & Adjustment Guide
The sensor's performance is closely related to correct installation and adjustment. Simple operation with no professional tools required:
Mounting Requirements
Avoid vibration positions, neon lamp proximity and sensor occlusion; do not touch internal electronic parts during installation.
Sensitivity Adjustment
Rotate the sensitivity potentiometer gently and slowly; the sensitivity value determines the size of the detection field (adjust to 1/2 or higher for short detection distance).
Angle Adjustment
Planar antenna lateral angle = detection field position; vertical angle = detection field depth; set microwave module angle to ≥45° for optimal detection.
Status Check
LED flashes after power-on (normal standby); LED lights up continuously when a moving target is detected (detection trigger).
Troubleshooting Guide
| Fault Phenomenon |
Probable Causes |
Corrective Action |
| Door does not open & LED no light |
Sensor power off |
Check wiring connection and power supply validity |
| Door opens/closes constantly |
Sensor detects door vibration/movement; interference source in detection range |
Fix the sensor firmly; increase tilt angle/reduce sensitivity; remove interference sources in the detection field |
| Detection distance is too close |
Low sensitivity; microwave module angle <45°; sensor blocked |
Adjust sensitivity potentiometer to 1/2 or higher; set module angle to ≥45°; remove occluding objects |
