Radar Sensor

Made for what moves fast: forklifts and vehicles.

A 12–36V radar sensor that watches for approaching forklifts and vehicles and triggers your projector's warning gobo or beam the moment something enters its detection zone. Per the manufacturer: radar is more suitable for detecting approaching vehicles, offering stable vehicle detection — the right call for forklift lanes, loading docks and vehicle-heavy aisles.

Available on Industrial Projectors category projectors — Titan, Laser Safety Line, Laser Line and LY-Pro. It ships and wires in with your order.

Radar Sensor

Radar or camera — which do you need?

Radar Sensor

More suitable for detecting approaching forklift trucks, offering stable vehicle detection.

Camera Sensor

More suitable for detecting people, providing better performance when detecting pedestrians.

People & pedestrians

Not strictly either/or — a warehouse aisle carrying both forklift and foot traffic is often best covered with one of each.

Why you'll want it

Built for vehicles

Radar sensing is tuned for stable detection of approaching forklifts and vehicles — not easily fooled by people walking past.

Does not capture images — privacy friendly

Radar detects motion, not video. There's no footage to store, review or worry about — a real advantage where staff or visitor privacy matters.

3–7m detection height

About 10–23 ft — covers a realistic aisle or dock-door approach zone out of the box.

Works in darkness, smoke, dust & fog

Radar sensing isn't affected by poor visibility the way a camera can be — reliable triggering in almost any warehouse condition.

Wide temperature range

Rated -20°C to 50°C (-4°F to 122°F), so it keeps working through a hot loading dock or an unheated warehouse in winter.

IP65 weatherproof

Sealed against dust and water for real warehouse and dock-door environments.

Long service life

Rated for 30,000–40,000 hours of operation — years of continuous duty before replacement.

Simple relay integration

A standard relay output (max 48V AC/DC, 1A) wires into your projector or warning system.

How to install it

  1. 1Mount the radar sensor at the recommended detection height (3–7m) facing the approach path you want covered — a forklift aisle, dock door, or vehicle lane.
  2. 2Wire the 12–36V AC/DC supply and the relay output to your projector or warning system per your installer's wiring diagram.
  3. 3Test the detection zone by walking/driving a vehicle through the covered path and confirming the relay triggers your projector or alert.
  4. 4Adjust mounting height and angle if the detection zone is picking up traffic outside the lane you're protecting.

Best practice: pair with a Camera Sensor on the same aisle if it also carries foot traffic — radar excels at vehicles, camera excels at people, and mixed-traffic zones benefit from both.

Questions, answered

What does the Radar Sensor detect?

Vehicles and forklifts. Per the manufacturer, radar sensing is more suitable for detecting approaching vehicles, offering stable vehicle detection — it's the right choice for forklift lanes, loading docks and vehicle aisles.

Should I get the Radar Sensor or the Camera Sensor?

Radar for vehicles and forklifts, Camera for pedestrians — they're tuned for different jobs. A warehouse aisle with both forklift and foot traffic often benefits from one of each, not a strict either/or choice.

What height should I mount it at?

The Radar Sensor is rated for a 3–7m (about 10–23 ft) detection height — mount it within that range facing the approach path you want covered.

How does it connect to my projector?

Through a standard relay output (max 48V AC/DC, 1A) that your installer wires to trigger the projector or a connected warning system.

Is it rated for outdoor/warehouse conditions?

Yes — it's IP65-rated against dust and water, built for a -20°C to 50°C (-4°F to 122°F) operating range, and rated for 30,000–40,000 hours of service — suited to loading docks and unconditioned warehouse space.

Does it work with the LY-Pro projector specifically?

Yes — it's offered as an add-on on the LY-Pro and on every projector in our Industrial Projectors category (Titan, Laser Safety Line, Laser Line), wired independently of the projector's own controls.
