What R350 Delivers for Industrial Fleets
Millimeter-wave environmental penetration, millisecond collision warning, and flexible single/dual radar fleet integration.
77GHz High-Precision Environmental Penetration
Continuous 0.2m to 40m obstacle tracking impervious to warehouse dust, rain, fog, and total darkness.
- 77GHz All-Weather Radar: Millimeter waves penetrate factory smoke, dust, heavy rain, and glare.
- Broad Detection Zone: Detects moving forklifts, racking, concrete pillars, and personnel up to 40m.
- FMCW False-Alarm Tuning: Advanced modulation isolates targets from complex industrial background noise.
Three-Level Progressive Audible & Visual Warning
Graduated strobe frequency and acoustic rhythm provide immediate cognitive hazard awareness without driver distraction.
- Zone 1 (Far - Awareness): Gentle audio cadence and slow amber strobe warn of approaching obstacles.
- Zone 2 (Mid - Caution): Accelerated acoustic beep and rapid strobe command vehicle deceleration.
- Zone 3 (Near - Stop): Continuous high-decibel alarm and persistent red strobe demand immediate braking.
Single or Dual Radar Deployment Flexibility
One compact control unit handles single rear detection or dual-zone front-and-rear perimeter protection.
- Unified Control Box: Single central ECU supports 1 or 2 radar sensors, cutting fleet parts inventory.
- R350-1 Single Radar: Compact setup for warehouse forklifts safeguarding reversing blind spots.
- R350-2 Dual Radar: Front-and-rear coverage for large terminal loaders and heavy dump trucks.
Audio-Visual & Telematics Video Integration
Combine radar precision with live commercial AHD camera feeds for comprehensive situational awareness.
- In-Cab Distance Display: Real-time numerical distance and direction indicators in driver line of sight.
- Monitor Synchronization: Direct hookup with 7-inch DP230-5 or 10.1-inch DP285 displays for split video.
- Speed Governor Interlock: Optional 6-channel I/O harness triggers vehicle speed limiters upon critical alerts.

What is the functional difference between R350-1 and R350-2?
R350-1 includes one 77GHz obstacle-detection radar sensor, typically mounted on the vehicle rear to monitor reversing hazards. R350-2 includes two radar sensors, allowing simultaneous coverage of both front and rear zones or dual lateral blind spots. Both versions operate from a single central control processing box supporting up to two radars.
What detection range, field of view, and targets does R350 support?
The system provides a continuous detection range of 0.2m to 40m (0.65 ft to 131 ft). It detects both stationary and moving obstacles, including concrete walls, pallet storage racks, equipment structural posts, pedestrians, forklifts, and motor vehicles.
How does the tiered warning system alert the driver?
R350 features three progressive alarm distance thresholds. As an obstacle enters each zone, the system automatically alters the flash rate of the external strobe light and the rhythmic frequency of the in-cab acoustic buzzer, providing clear cognitive cues of hazard proximity.
Can R350 trigger automatic forklift speed reduction or external interlocks?
Yes. By pairing the control unit with the optional R350-IO 6-channel level output harness, the system can output trigger signals corresponding to alarm distance levels. Fleet operators frequently use this to interface with electronic speed limiters to automatically throttle vehicle speed upon entering the critical danger zone.
Can the radar system be paired with in-cab video monitors?
Yes. R350 integrates seamlessly with optional in-cab hardware, including the R350-DP numerical distance displayer, 7-inch DP230-5 or 10.1-inch DP285 AHD video monitors, and heavy-duty IP68 cameras (CC670/CC990/CC950) for synchronized audio-visual obstacle verification.
What radar cable lengths and extensions are supported?
Each radar includes a 5m industrial shielded cable as standard. If the radar is installed on longer commercial chassis or articulated equipment, optional 10m extension cables are available. Note that the total radar cable length for each sensor should not exceed 20m to ensure optimal high-frequency signal integrity.
What warranty and quality assurance apply to R350?
Every AlwayCare R350 system is manufactured under ISO9001 quality management, holds CE, FCC, and RoHS certifications, and includes a 15-month direct manufacturer warranty from dispatch date.
