PCR2-IN Datasheet

PCR2-IN

PCR2 are bidirectional people counters that use a new type of 24 GHz radar transceiver to detect motion from both directions simultaneously.

This allows the devices to be mounted parallel to the direction of travel. PCR2 detects both directions independently when there is a certain distance between people.

Readings are transmitted at regular intervals over a public or private LoRaWAN™ network. All parametric sensors are equipped with a USB configuration port for firmware setup and update.

Features

  • Anonymous people counting by using 24 GHz radar
  • Bi-directional
  • 2 LEDs signaling left-to-right or right-to-left detections
  • Interval or totalizer
  • LoRaWAN™ data uplink intervals between 1min up to 1 day
  • Configuration via USB-Port or LoRaWAN™ Downlinks
  • Slim-line design with hidden fixing points
  • External power supply 5-12V DC or USB
  • Firmware updates over USB
  • Free Lifetime firmware updates
  • Swiss made
  • 24 months warranty

Applications

  • Indoor People Counting

Technical Specification

Note: This technical specs relate to Firmware 4.0

Mounting Options

Wall mounted

When mounted at a wall PCR2 can detect people passing by in both directions on walkways 0.5m up to 5m wide.

IMPORTANT: Persons walking side-by-side will be counted as one person.

Wall mounting

Ceiling mounted

When mounted over head take care that there is more than 50cm distance between persons head an the sensor

IMPORTANT: Persons passing by walking side by side ca not be separated and will be counted as one person.
