1 Product Introduction

VR30 is the third generation of ZKTeco radars developed to detect and identify various vehicles

(motorcycle, cars, trucks, etc.) and pedestrians near the barrier gate .It adopts highly integrated radio

frequency chip, which has the characteristics of small size, low cost, 7/24 operation and all-weather

performance, high detection sensitivity, high accuracy, simple commissioning and installation, stability

and reliability.

The VR30 is an anti-smashing barrier radar, deploying 79GHz millimeter-wave for precise vehicle and

pedestrian detection. Through the joint optimization design of software and hardware, this product can

accurately identify and distinguish between pedestrians and vehicles passing through the barrier area,

and prevent the barrier from hitting people and cars. Also, users could set parameters of VR30 with a

mobile app (ZKEasy Go) when connected it to Bluetooth.

2 Functions

 Adopts 79GHz FMCW radar technology.

 Adjustable detection range(up to 7m).

 Broad coverage: 120° azimuth FOV (-60° to +60°) minimizes blind spots for single-lane and adjacent

area coverage.

 Precise aiming: ±10° vertical FOV helps focus on the boom/ground zone and reduce distant clutter.

 Support Online debugging and upgrade via RS-485, Bluetooth and Relay.

 Compatible with multiple ZKTeco's barrier gate.

 Cost effective as it eliminates excavation expenses and future pavement repairs.

 Compatible with straight boom (default). Adaptable to folding boom, fence boom, and advertising

boom (requires environmental learning/calibration).

5 Installation Instruction

1. According to the actual situation on site, select the corresponding parameters of radar.

2. Not applicable to sliding gates and telescopic gates.

3. After changing the detection environment (such as installing a deflector, ice cream cone in the

detection area), please recalibrate again by App.

4. Under normal circumstances, please set the detection distance(1~6m) according to the length of the

boom. The detection distance is slightly less than or equal to the length of the boom to prevent

people or objects outside the barrier boom from being detected by the radar.

5. If there is a misrecognition due to radar causing opening the gate or not closing, please recalibrate

and perform environmental learning.

6. The radar antenna is integrated inside. When the radar surface is covered with foreign objects (such as

water drops, rain, snow, dust, etc.), it should be cleaned in time.

7. The detection field of the radar must be clean, and there must be no objects that affect the target

detection (such as metal fences, billboards, license plate recognition cameras, walls, etc.) to prevent

the radar from being triggered by mistake.

8. It is not recommended to use the radar in the fence and advertisement boom type for a single mixed-

in and mixed-out scenario.

9. Dual-radar installation is recommended for semi-trailer, cement tanker, crane.

10. When learning to record the environment, the fence/advertisement boom may shaking after the it

falls to the ground, and then wait for the boom to fully stabilize before performing subsequent

operations.

6 Product Installation

1. Confirm radar mounting holes

The installation hole of the radar is between 100 to 200mm from the inside of the straight boom and

between 200 to 300mm from the inside of the non-straight boom. The installation height of radar is

650 to 700mm from the driveway ground for small car; Two radars are recommended for large car,

with installation height of 650 to 700mm and 1000 to 1100mm. The installation position is shown in

the figure.

2. Drilling

Use an electric drill to drill two holes in the selected position, the fixing hole is Φ6mm , and the cable

hole is Φ8mm. After drilling the cable holes and fixing holes, put the radar cable through the cable

hole and tighten the fixing hole with screw to ensure that the radar does not wobble.

Ensure white and purple wires never contact the positive(+) terminal of the 12V power supply to

prevent damage to the radar.

2. Connected to the barrier gate

When the radar is connected to the PB4000, CMP200, BGM series barrier gate, the normally open

signal wire of the radar, that is, the blue and orange wires, are connected to the ground sense coil

terminals and common terminals of the barrier control main board (no distinction between positive

8.3 Set Parameter for Radar

Enter the parameter setting interface as the pictures shown below.

Step 1: According to the actual installation environment, choose the Vehicle Type, Boom Type and

Boom length. On the setting of Boom length is generally recommended to set the length shorter than

the actual length of 50cm.

Step 2: Setting the Fixed mode: if the barrier is on the radar’s left side, select left fixed; If on the right side,

select right fixed.

Step 3: Slide to the bottom of this screen and click [Save Radar Parameters].

Step 4: First keep the barrier boom in a raise state and make sure no one enters within 150cm to the left

and right of the radar, then click [Background Learning] in the app. Follow the prompts until the

learning is complete.

Step 5: Make sure no one enters within 150cm to the left and right of the radar, then click [Boom Up and

Down Learning] in the app. Follow the prompts, using the remote control to keep opening and closing

the barrier boom until the learning is complete.

Step 6: After finish step 5, the barrier boom will close, the radar indicator green light off, the radar into

the self-learning, at this time to make sure no one enters within 150cm to the left and right of the radar

in 30s. After 30s, the radar self-learning is completed and the setting of radar is finished.

Note:

1. In general scenarios, just follow the above steps to configure, no need to do other

configurations.

2. If you have modified the Boom Type, Boom length or Fixed mode, please reset from step 3,

otherwise will have problems such as smashing the car.

8.3.1 Parameter Description

Pedestrian-vehicle Distinction: This mode means that the radar will distinguish between pedestrian and

vehicle. If turn it on, the indicator light will be yellow when detect a person.

Direction of vehicle moving: Entering from the left ,right side or both side of the radar.

Relay Status: Normally open and normally closed options.

Delayed boom closing time: Delayed closing of the barrier boom after the vehicle leaves.

Proximal non-detection distance: The distance in front of the radar that will not be detected by radar, for

example, if the value is set as 0.4m, object 0.4m from radar will not be detected.

Left detection area scope: The left scope of the radar detection area.

Right detection area scope: The right scope of the radar detection area.

VR30 User Manual

P a g e |

Cutting Area: If the site environment has a small obstacle in the detection area can occasionally be

detected, in this situation you can draw a area according to the coordinate value that check from the

Target Chart, all the point in this area are eliminated which means that the radar will not detect this area.

For example, the obstacle of XY coordinates for (0.4,3), then you can draw a area such as X1 = 0.2, X2 =

0.6, Y1 = 2.8, Y2 = 3.2 cut area.

8.4 Display of Target Information

1. After the background learning is completed, you can click to display the target information. During

this process, please do not perform other operations except stop the display.

2. If there is false alarm on the interface, click [STOP DISPLAY] and then click [ELIMINATE FALSE ALARM].

After Eliminate false alarm, it can be used normally.

9 FAQ

 Problem: After installation, the green light of the radar is always on, and the boom does not fall.

Possible cause: Ensure any newly added reflective surfaces are outside the radar’s detection zone, or

recalibrate for background learning.

 Problem: The person is standing in front of the radar but the green indicator does not light.

Possible cause: The radar is configured to activate only after a vehicle trigger; Pedestrian detection is

disabled until a car is detected. Change the trigger mode to “pedestrian enabled” or “always active”

detection.

 Problem: The red light of radar flashes when the 12V power supplied by the gate control board is on.

Possible cause: It is recommended to connect an external 12V-1A power adapter.
