Radar Presence Sensor up to 10 m with precision detection | Safety Sensor | Made in USA
EMX MRD-1P Radar Presence Sensor supplies reliable vehicle and pedestrian detection up to 30 ft (10 m). Ideal safety & access control sensor for barrier arms, gates, parking, and industrial applications in Australia.
The EMX MRD-1P Radar Presence Sensor is a high-precision radar safety sensor engineered to detect vehicles and pedestrians within the detection zones of barrier arms, gates, industrial access points, and parking systems. Using a reliable X-band microwave radar beam, the MRD-1P delivers accurate, fast, and weather-proof detection without discriminating between object types — perfect for safety and automation applications across commercial and industrial settings in Australia.
Detects vehicles and pedestrians over a range of 1 ft (0.3 m) up to 30 ft (10 m) with precision detection down to 0.04″ (1 mm).
The microwave radar beam ensures consistent detection — unaffected by rain, fog, snow, sunlight, or ice.
Dual Form C relay outputs allow configuration for presence detection and pulse-on-entry / pulse-on-exit signalling to improve integration with control systems.
On-board pushbuttons + 3-digit display make setup and adjustment fast and easy — ideal for installers.
Comes with an adjustable ball-and-socket mount with a ½″ NPT conduit connection and a detachable screw terminal block for straightforward wiring.
With a rapid response update rate of ~30 ms, the MRD-1P ensures near-instant detection for critical safety systems.

The MRD-1P emits a microwave radar beam that reflects off objects within its field of view. When a vehicle or pedestrian enters the defined detection range, the sensor triggers relay outputs to communicate presence or exit/entry pulse signals to access control systems, barrier operators, or any connected safety automation. Designed to ignore objects beyond the set distance, it minimises false triggers and enhances safety performance.
A radar presence sensor like the MRD-1P uses microwave signals to detect vehicles and pedestrians within a configurable range. They are commonly used for safety at barrier arms, gate automation, and access control.
Yes. The MRD-1P operates reliably in rain, fog, snow, extreme heat, and direct sunlight, making it ideal for outdoor safety systems.
No. It detects the presence of both vehicles and people, but does not differentiate object types.
The sensor supports 6-40 VDC and 12-24 VAC power inputs, providing installation flexibility.
Install the MRD-1P under a barrier arm or next to gates at a height that best covers the detection zone — typically above ground level for vehicle clearance. Follow manufacturer instructions for optimal alignment.
The EMX MRD-1P Radar Presence Sensor delivers efficient safety-centric detection suited to Australia’s varied environmental conditions. With advanced radar, configurable outputs, and easy installation, it is an ideal choice for gates, barriers, parking systems and physical access control safety projects in both commercial and industrial settings.
