Radar detection range

The sensing sensitivity of the radar sensor can be configured through Bluetooth. Its forward limit sensing distance is 10 meters. You can adjust the actual sensing distance appropriately as needed.

The figure below is a schematic diagram of the radar detection range in a typical scenario. The higher the sensitivity, the larger the detection range. The dark area in the figure is a high-sensitivity detection area, in which objects can be completely detected. The light-colored area is a low-sensitivity detection area, in which objects can be basically detected.

Antenna information

Antenna type

The onboard PCB antenna is used.

Antenna interference reduction

• The distance between the antenna (Bluetooth antenna and radar antenna) and other mental components should be at least 15 mm to provide the best radio performance. And there are no metal obstructions on the RF path.
• Try to avoid pointing the radar antenna directly toward large metal devices or pipes.
• When installing multiple PCBAs, try to make sure that the radar antennas are parallel to each other to avoid direct irradiation, and keep a distance of more than 1m between antennas.
• When the radar sensor works in low power mode, we do not recommend using it in scenarios close to switching power supply drives.

Packing and production instructions

Mechanical dimensions

The PCBA dimensions are 20±0.35 mm (W) × 33±0.35 mm (L) × 7.1±0.35 mm (H).

PCB package

Production instructions

1. We recommend using a wave soldering device to solder Tuya’s DIP modules, and manual soldering can be used only when a wave soldering device is unavailable. Complete soldering within 24 hours after unpacking. Otherwise, place the module in a drying cupboard with a relative humidity level of no more than 10%, or pack the module in vacuum again. Then, record the packing time and duration of exposure. The total exposure duration cannot exceed 168 hours.
2. Soldering device and materials:
   • Wave soldering device
   • Wave soldering fixture
   • Constant-temperature soldering iron
   • Tin bar, tin wire, and flux
   • Thermal profiler
3. Instruments or devices required for the baking process:
   • Cabinet oven
   • Anti-electrostatic and heat-resistant trays
   • Anti-electrostatic and heat-resistant gloves
4. The module needs to be baked in the following cases:
   • The vacuum packaging bag is damaged before unpacking.
   • After unpacking, no HIC is found in the packaging bag.
   • After unpacking, the HIC indicates a humidity level of 10% or higher. In this case, the circle turns pink on the HIC.
   • The total exposure time has lasted for over 168 hours since unpacking.
   • More than 12 months have passed since the first sealing of the bag.
5. The baking parameter settings are described below:
   • Baking temperature: 60°C for reel packaging with relative humidity ≤ 5%. And 125°C for tray packaging with relative humidity ≤ 5% (use the heat-resistant tray, rather than plastic containers).
   • Baking time: 48 hours for reel packaging and 12 hours for tray packaging.
   • Temperature for triggering an alert: 65°C for reel packaging and 135°C for tray packaging.
   • Production can begin after a module has cooled down to below 36°C under natural conditions.
   • If a module remains unused for over 168 hours after being baked, it needs to be baked again.
   • If a batch of modules is not baked after exposure for more than 168 hours, do not use wave soldering to solder them. Because these modules are level-3 moisture-sensitive devices, they are very likely to get damp when exposed beyond the allowable time. In this case, if they are soldered at high temperatures, device failure or poor soldering performance might occur.
6. In the whole production process, take electrostatic discharge (ESD) protective measures.
7. In order to ensure good product quality, focus on the amount of flux sprayed and peak height during production. Check whether the tin slag and copper contents in the wave soldering tank exceed the standard amount, whether the fixture opening and thickness are appropriate, and whether the oven temperature curve of the wave soldering is proper.
8. With a built-in crystal oscillator, this product can generally be cleaned with an ordinary detergent or ultrasonic wave. However, in some cases, vibrations generated by an ultrasonic cleaner can damage the internal structure of the crystal oscillator. If you use an ultrasonic cleaner, you need to verify in advance to make sure the crystal oscillator inside the module is protected from any possible damage.
9. During product installation or processing, ultrasonic soldering is not recommended, because it might lead to excessive internal vibration or even failure of the crystal oscillator in the module.

Recommended oven temperature curve and temperature

Set the oven temperatures according to the following temperature curve of wave soldering. The peak temperature is 260°C±5°C.
