INFO
Testing
Due to the enormous range of environments and driving situations
(weather conditions, ground surface characteristics, fitting situations,
accelerations, etc.) and complexity of their impact on the device's accuracy,
we strongly recommend our customers to order several DR42 radar sensors
from DEUTA AMERICA for each new application and to test them for several
months (up to 12 months).
2.2 Approved areas of application
The DR42 radar sensors can be used worldwide.
▪ DEUTA radar sensors emit microwaves in the K-band and are therefore
listed in frequency allocation tables as "Short Range Devices" (SRD) like
motion detectors.
▪ The radar sensors emit an unmodulated signal (ITU modulation type:
N0N).
▪ Different regulations apply in the areas of application described below.
▪ DEUTA supports you in questions of import and approval for DR42
sensors.
▪ When ordering DR42 sensors, always specify the area of application
(country of use) for the sensors.
INFO
Support from DEUTA AMERICA during approval
DEUTA AMERICA provides relevant support, information and technical
documents for approval or import upon request!

DR42 Page 15 of 97
Safety
INFO
Application-specific adaptation
The frequency bands used by the DR42 sensors and their identification on
the product can be adapted to specific applications upon request with
regard to legal requirements of the area of application.
Use of DR42 sensors worldwide in non-EU and non-CEPT countries
(including Azerbaijan and the Russian Federation)

It is imperative that you clarify the conditions for use in all not
expressly stated non-CEPT and non-EU countries in advance!
In non-CEPT countries, radio equipment for short range devices (SRD) such
as DR42 sensors may be subject to more strict legal restrictions or labelling
requirements than in EU or CEPT countries.
In this case, the import and use of DR42 sensors, without adaptation for
these areas of application, may not be in conformity with the law.
IMPORTANT
Requirements for use
For the import or use, a Supplier's Declaration of Conformity (SDoC) for the
planned area of application must be prepared and submitted to the
competent authority of the relevant country and an appropriate permit
applied for.
Obligation to label
Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States of America have
special labelling requirements!
IMPORTANT
Authority to operate the equipment for the area of application
Only DR42 sensors whose type plate explicitly indicates the authority to
operate the equipment for the area of application may be used in Australia,
New Zealand, Canada and the United States of America!

2.3 General warning and safety notes
NOTICE
Loss of warranty
Unauthorized intervention or modification of the hardware or software (e.g.
firmware, application, configuration) by unauthorized and unqualified
personnel, including use in non-approved applications or use of an
unauthorized configuration, will result in loss of warranty.
This excludes measures expressly described in the Instruction Handbook.
Furthermore, inadmissible interventions, as described above, can lead to

loss of the required and tested function, accuracy, reliability, safety,
availability, violation of legal requirements and thus void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.

WARNING
Voltages greater than DC 50 V
Life-threatening hazard due to electric shock!
These contacts may carry voltages greater than DC 50 V. When working on
the device or the plug-type connectors:
1. Switch off the device.
2. Disconnect the voltage from the power cables.
WARNING
Danger from high touch voltage
If, contrary to the installation instructions, the supply voltage has a
potential to vehicle earth and there is no sufficient electrical connection
between the radar sensor housing and vehicle earth, there may be a high
contact voltage on the housing of the radar sensor in the event of a fault.
Deviations from the installation specifications are the responsibility of the
user.
Corresponding protective measures must be taken to eliminate this hazard

and to prevent the danger of electric shock!

Product description
3 Product description
3.1 DR42
The Doppler radar sensor of the DR42 series measures the vehicle speed
over ground by exploiting the Doppler effect. The microwave module with a
transmission frequency of approx. 24 GHz (K band) and a maximum radiated
power of 20 dBm in accordance with ETSI EN 300 440 is installed in the
DR42.
The antenna of the device continuously transmits an electromagnetic field
and simultaneously receive a part of the waves diffusely reflected from the
ground surface (transceiver principle, i.e. transmitter, directional coupler,
receiver in one module). The Doppler effect results in a speed-proportional
transmitted and received waves.
A digital signal processor (DSP) now calculates the output signal for the
speed of the vehicle with the aid of a patented procedure.

5.6 Product characteristics
5.6.1 Speed detection
Recordable
speed range: 0.2 to max. 600 km/h
5.6.2 Pulse output

The pulse output provides a speed proportional frequency of 50Hz per mph
with no offset.
i.e 1 mph = 50Hz, 80mph = 4,000Hz.
5.6.3 Measuring accuracy

The basis for calculating the statistical errors (typical values) are data that
were determined during trips ranging several hundred miles on typical
railway lines. The previous operational experiences of the customer confirm
the observance of the fault model.
For other (atypical) subgrades and external influences, such as winter
conditions, the validity of the measurement is monitored by the firmware
and is signaled in the status byte.
Atypical subgrades include:
- water-covered subgrades
- trenches
- long total-reflecting structures
Atypical external factors include:
- moving objects (except the subgrade) in the radar microwave beam
(e.g. pulled-in water, dangling safety chains, vibrating structural parts
etc.)
- Fluorescent lamps in the field of view of the radar sensor
Deviations in special travel situations (e.g. heavy snow cover) are undesirable
but not critical in terms of safety or reliability if the higher-level system
implements mode-dependent supplementary tolerances in hazard-point
monitoring.
These deviations do not exceed the following limits:
- 5.0%

5.6.5 Total deviation, confidence

The maximum total deviation is calculated by addition of the singular
contributions. For determining the confidence, it is necessary to consider the
probability of the occurrence of every single deviation.
The statistical deviation of the speed can be reduced by calculating an
average value. The statistical deviation in distance measurement diminishes
with the increasing length of sections.
In distance measurement, the dynamic deviation can be compensated, as the
deviations caused by acceleration and deceleration have opposite algebraic
signs.

NOTICE
To avoid disruptions or damage:
1. Comply with all instructions in this document.
8.1.1 Applicable EMC Standards

For the Doppler radar sensor DR42 - designed for use on railway vehicles -
the following inspection specifications are taken as basis:
European Standard for Railway Applications, EN 50121-3-2 with the basic standards:
EN 55016-2-3 Radio disturbance characteristics; Limits and methods of

measurement (housing)
EN 55016-2-1 Radio disturbance characteristics; Limits and methods of

measurement (wiring)
EN 61000-4-2 Electrostatic discharge immunity (ESD)
EN 61000-4-3 Radiated, radio-frequency, electromagnetic field immunity

EN 61000-4-4 Electrical fast transient/burst immunity test
EN 61000-4-5 Immunity to powerful surges
EN 61000-4-6 Immunity to conducted disturbances, induced by radio-

frequency fields
Along with the inspection, the following additional test requirements will be
fulfilled:
EN 300440:V2.1.1 European standard for radio equipment
EN 62311:2008 European standard for the assessment of electronic

and electrical equipment related to human exposure
restrictions for electromagnetic fields (0 Hz - 300
GHz)

DR42 Page 45 of 97
Tolerable function impairments
The tolerable function impairments under the effects of interference (with

respect to the evaluation criteria listed in the above product standard) are:
▪ Evaluation criterion A:
The determined speed must not be affected under disturbance effects. A
proper evaluation of the output signals with suitable measuring devices is
possible at any time.
▪ Evaluation criterion B:
The output signals can be affected by disturbance effects; this can lead to
a deviation of the speed signal from the setpoint value during pulse
output and serial transfer. The data transfer of the serial interface can be
faulty. In an operating state without vehicle movement, a disturbance
effect can cause temporary speed information and pulse outputs. After the
disturbance effect, the device automatically returns to the same operating
state as before the disturbance.
▪ Evaluation criterion C:
Not applicable
8.1.2 Installation instructions

Designated operational location
The Doppler radar sensor DR42 is intended for use on rail vehicles and is
used for distance and speed measurement. It is not intended for use on
public roads.
Installation conditions
The device is installed on the outside of the vehicle chassis or car body.
It must be ensured that the housing is connected to the vehicle earth
(operating earth). This earth connection can be established via the assembly
surface or via the ground bolt on the device.
▪ The connection via the ground bolt requires a metal braid with a minimum
cross-section of 4 mm2 and a maximum length of 0.5 m.
▪ For the connection via the assembly surface, the surface under the
mounting flange must be structured so as to provide a complete electrical
connection.
The installation or connection must be carried out professionally and secured
permanently.
▪ Prescribed installation position:
Further information on the installation position can be found in the
appropriate documentation, e.g. in the Instruction Handbook in chapter:
"Assembly/Installation".
▪ To protect the equipment, the service and maintenance personnel must
be electrostatically discharged when removing and installing the device.

DR42 Page 46 of 97
Wiring and signal requirements
▪ The supply voltage must not be connected to the operating earth;

otherwise the potential isolation in the device will be cancelled and safe
operation cannot be guaranteed.
▪ Reference to the vehicle battery is only permitted for the supply voltage.
Interfaces with shielded cables
Connection via shielded cables is mandatory for the interfaces listed below:
▪ The connecting cable to the DR42 must have separately shielded, twisted
pairs of wires (twisted pair) for operating voltage, pulse output and RS485
interface, as well as an overall shielding with an optical degree of coverage
of at least 80 %.
▪ The data signals of the RS485 serial interface and the pulse output must
not have any reference to the vehicle battery.
▪ The static inputs A ("TEST" for test operation) and B ("PROG" for
programming operation) must not be connected during regular operation
of the vehicle.
▪ The RS232 interface must not be connected during regular operation of
the vehicle.
▪ Note:
Since the Doppler radar sensor represents a sensitive measuring device, it
is imperative to observe the Instruction Handbook.
Connecting plugs and screens
▪ For the specification of a shielded line, the use of metallic plug housings is
principally assumed.
▪ For the lines of the listed interfaces with shielded cables, the shield must
be applied on the device side in a full metal or metallic plug housing and
is connected to the device housing through the plug.
▪ The shield must be generally applied to both sides.
▪ The individual shields and the overall shield must always be connected to
each other at the end of the cable and to the operating earth.
▪ The shielding on the device side is connected to the operating earth via
the mating connector and the DR42.
▪ The same applies to the cable end at the evaluation unit for the
interconnection of the shields when connected via plug-in connection or
via stranded wiring in a connecting box.
▪ The shields must be connected at least to the connector housing on the
device side, using a connector housing with an EMC-compliant connection
to the housing: The screen braid must be inserted completely around and
as far as possible into the connector housing. The mating connector must
have a good electrical connection to the device plug.
▪ The connection of all cable shielding shall be made appropriately in
relation to EMC. Ensure a large contact surface for all shielding and earth
connections. Equipotential bonding current may not flow through the
screen.

DR42 Page 47 of 97
Evaluation and peripheral device requirements
▪ All connected devices must comply with the technical specifications given
in the Instruction Handbook and have sufficient interference immunity for
the corresponding ambient conditions to guarantee correct function.
Restricted operating behavior caused by electromagnetic interferences
▪ This resource is suitable for the electromagnetic ambient conditions as

designated in the test basis. A deviating behavior from the details in the
evaluation criteria is not expected.
Scope and frequency of EMC relevant maintenance procedures
▪ EMC relevant maintenance measures (maintenance of EMC protective

components, definition of the term "maintenance" see DIN 31051, IEC
60050-191) shall not be performed. If operating behavior occurs which
deviates from the permissible impairments [➙ Page 45] stated in the
evaluation criteria, the device must be tested at DEUTA and repaired if
necessary.
General notes
▪ To guarantee the operating quality, basic EMC measures to avoid

unnecessary interference coupling mechanisms are assumed and are
therefore not mentioned in detail. These include the selection of suitable
lines and components, approved and permanently assured connections,
sensible routing and arrangement of cables, awareness of possible
potential differences, the shortest possible connections, the separation of
critical signal groups, range of interference sources, etc.
▪ Enclosed installation material (see scope of supply, appropriate spare parts
or accessories or other prescribed material such as lines, cables or
connectors) must be used.
▪ In consideration of the stated installation specifications, compliance with
the specified standards shall be guaranteed. Deviations from the
installation specifications can only be carried out on own responsibility or
expressly require DEUTA's written consent.
▪ The pertinent fire safety standards with regard to lines, cables or
connectors must be observed in the installation.

9.1 Important notes
IMPORTANT
Requirements for error-free installation and trouble-free operation
For the installation, comply with the following notes:
▪ Disconnecting and plugging the plug-in connections is strictly prohibited

when the power supply is switched on. The same applies to the
connection to the vehicle earth. It is equally prohibited to install/remove
the device with switched on power supply.
Disconnect the device from the power supply during assembly work.
▪ Unused equipment connectors must always be provided with suitable
covers as protection against contamination, contact, damage and fault.
▪ To achieve the optimum use of this device, we recommend implementing
the initial start-up with DEUTA support.
WARNING
Danger from high touch voltage
If, contrary to the installation instructions, the supply voltage has a
potential to vehicle earth and there is no sufficient electrical connection
between the radar sensor housing and vehicle earth, there may be a high
contact voltage on the housing of the radar sensor in the event of a fault.
Deviations from the installation specifications are the responsibility of the
user.
Corresponding protective measures must be taken to eliminate this hazard

and to prevent the danger of electric shock!

9.2.3.1 Installation-dependent influences on measuring accuracy
INFO
Deviation of the mounting angle of 0°
The mounting angle (difference between inclination of the radar sensor
and average inclination of the track in the locomotive area (inclination
around the transverse axis)) affects the measured value by 1.8 % per
degree.
The mounting angle may not deviate more than 5°.

DR42 Page 53 of 97
Installation
Overview of influences on measurement accuracy and compensation options
Uncertainty regarding systematic deviations in speed and distance results

from equipment variance, track influence, installation position (vertical and
lateral) and mounting angle (inclination around the transverse axis).
INFO
Detailed information on measuring accuracy
Detailed information on the measuring accuracy and compensation
procedure can be found in the appropriate configuration description!
Long-term drift
▪ In more than a decade of operating experience with DR42 devices, no

long-term drift has been observed and sudden changes in calibration are
highly unlikely.
Device variance
▪ Due to the precise factory calibration, device variance is negligible

compared to the influences of the track and the installation position.
Compensation: Influence of track and installation position
▪ single calibration run

– A single calibration run with a single vehicle on a representative
distance or the whole distance enables the influence of the track and
the installation position of the radar for this vehicle to be compensated.
– If the radars for the other vehicles in this project are installed using
inclinometer methods, this must also have been done for this vehicle.
– The determined correction is to be applied in the higher-level system as
a calibration factor to the measured values for speed and distance.
Compensation of the installation position for further vehicles of the project
▪ Compensation through reference calibration run per vehicle

(mounting angle not known)
– The uncertainty due to the vehicle-specific installation angle (influence
approx. 1.8 % per degree deviation) can be reduced through one
calibration run per vehicle on an arbitrary but fixed reference track or
also on the representative distance or the entire distance.
– The determined correction is to be applied in the higher-level system as
additional calibration factor to the measured values for speed and
distance.

DR42 Page 54 of 97
Installation
▪ Compensation through recording the mounting angle (inclinometer

method).
– The deviation of the mounting angle (difference between inclination of
the radar sensor and average inclination of the track in the area of the
vehicle (inclination around the transverse axis)) is measured with an
inclinometer.
– For other vehicles, this should always be done at the same location to
avoid a repeat measurement of the average inclination of the track in
the area of the vehicle.
– The measured angle or the resulting influence is taken into account in
the speed evaluation in the higher-level system.
– You will find further information on installation using the
inclinometer method and on calculating the calibration factor in
the document:
‘Training Material- measuring mounting angle.pdf'
Replacing a DR42
▪ It is not necessary to recalculate the factor calibration when replacing the

DR42 for maintenance reasons, as long as the assembly surface is clean
and not subject to any mechanical changes.
▪ The requirement is that the radar sensor was installed using the
inclinometer method or that a reference calibration run was carried out for
each vehicle and the resulting calibration values were taken into account
in the speed evaluation in the higher-level system.
▪ The device variance is negligible due to the precise factory calibration. The
device variance of the replacement device is within the range of the
specified accuracy. You will find quantitative information on measuring
accuracy in the corresponding configuration description.
DEUTA recommendation
We recommend the installation of DR42 sensors:

1. using the inclinometer method
2. with a single calibration run with a single vehicle on a representative
distance or the entire track
This sequence does not require a test drive for further vehicles, but only
installation using the inclinometer method. The influence of the mounting
angle is compensated by the inclinometer method.

9.2.4 Installation
The following points must be observed when positioning the sensor:
▪ The rail fastening screws should be located within the beam area of both
antennas, except for vehicles with tilting technology.
▪ There must be no obstacles, moving or vibrating objects within the beam
area of both antennas.
▪ These conditions must also be met under adverse environmental
conditions, e.g. snow or ice layers must not be allowed to form in winter
conditions which would impair the beam range.

9.3.2 Grounding regulation

▪ To maintain the EMC limiting values, it is necessary to provide grounding
which conforms to standards.
▪ The shortest possible connection must be established between the vehicle
earth (chassis) and the device with a braided ground strap.
▪ The ground connection takes place on the housing side panel via an M6
threaded bolt including nut for clamping a cable lug.

Installation
9.3.3 Connection and wiring requirements

Cable connection to X1
▪ All electrical connections must be secured. The plug-in connector is locked

with the bayonet connection for this purpose.
INFO
Torsional forces
The cables and plug-in connectors must not be subjected to permanent
torsional forces.
Due to the relatively large diameter and the dense mechanical structure of
the cable, these may have to be additionally fixed in order to avoid the
occurrence of torsional forces.
An appropriate distance must be taken into account when connecting

the cable.
▪ Cable with angled plug: Distance at least 120 mm
▪ Cable with straight connector: Distance of at least 170 mm + bending
radius
▪ The minimum bending radius must always be observed during planning
and installation.
For further information on cable connection:

see chapter "Appendix/Detailed accessories information"

Commissioning and system parameters
10 Commissioning and system parameters
10.1 Important notes

The device is fully configured upon delivery.
▪ After the correct electrical connection (see chapter "Installation"), the
device is ready for immediate operation.
10.2 Configuration
You will find detailed configuration information in the corresponding
configuration description.
10.3 Commissioning
The device is immediately ready for operation after installation and
connection of the plug-in connector. Additional settings are not required.
The signal processor boots automatically when the power is turned on.
10.4 Function test

To check the function, slowly move one hand at a distance of approx. 60
cm towards and away from the antenna side of the sensor. The procedure
should last longer than 1 second.
Pulse output
▪ During this process, the sensor issues a square-wave output voltage at the
pulse output with a frequency proportional to the speed.
▪ If no rectangular output voltage is issued, check the connections of the
connector, the cable and the supply voltage.
RS485 interface
▪ When the supply voltage is applied, a telegram must be transmitted
periodically at the RS485 interface (see appropriate configuration
description).
▪ The absence of telegrams means a hardware failure, in this case also check
the connections of the connector, the cable and the supply voltage.
10.5 Calibration
The DR42 radar sensors are calibrated by the factory.
You will find further information on calibration in the higher-level system in
the appropriate configuration description.

10.6 External influences

Possible signal behavior at standstill
IMPORTANT
Signal behavior at standstill
The following described signal behavior may occur and must be considered
by the higher-level system during signal observation and evaluation!
A Doppler signal is not generated at standstill
The Doppler signal at standstill cannot be distinguished from a signal

which is below the detection limit due to external influences.
▶ In other words, no conclusions can be drawn from a speed

measurement which results in v = 0 km/h.
Feigned signal that cannot be distinguished from a Doppler signal at

standstill due to reflection of the microwave from a conductive plasma
Due to the modulation with a high frequency (10...30 KHz), a signal with
a very high speed can be correspondingly simulated. The recognition of
a valid signal using the phase relationship is not possible with certainty
in this case, as this results in a constant phase relationship which might
coincidentally lie in the range considered valid. The false speed can then
be transmitted as valid to the higher-level system.
▶ In environments with fluorescent tubes which are operated with ballasts

and which could come within the visible range of the microwave
radiation (e.g. also by reflections), the standstill detection of the higher-
level system must be prevented from being influenced by the
determined speed.
Output of a speed v > 0.2 km/h at standstill due to vibrations
Although such a measurement is usually marked as invalid in the serial

protocol, vibrations can negatively affect the measurements at low
speeds (a few km/h). If the wanted signal is sufficiently strong (i.e.
Doppler signal caused by actual travel) and the speed exceeds 10 km/h,
the influence of vibrations is less.
▶ A fixed, vibration-free installation must be ensured at a low-vibration

location under the car body.
The installation specifications in the Instruction Handbook must be
observed!
(see appropriate Instruction Handbook chapter "Installation").

DR42 Page 67 of 97
Output of a speed at standstill, marked as valid, caused by moving

objects in the track bed
Moving objects within the track bed, such as small animals or light
objects moved by wind, can cause the sensor at standstill to transmit a
speed marked as valid.
▶ The influence of moving objects in the track area must be avoided by a

suitable sensor fusion in the higher-level system.
Output of a speed marked as valid at standstill, caused by reflective

metallic surfaces in the field of view of the sensor
Smooth metallic surfaces within the sensor's field of vision that act like
mirrors may cause the sensor to detect oncoming traffic, pedestrians,
other vehicles or moving objects such as fans or objects outside the
track bed that are easily moved by wind.
▶ The influence of moving objects across smooth metallic surfaces in the

track area must be avoided by a suitable sensor fusion in the higher-
level system.

11.3.1 Power supply

The device is supplied with DC 24 V to 110 V voltage over a wideband power
supply unit, see chapter "Technical Data" and chapter "Plug-pin assignment".
11.3.2 Function of radar sensor

Method of determining speed and direction from received Doppler
signals
Since the antennas focus only slightly, an area of the ground is exposed
(“beam area”) rather than just a point and can contribute to reflection
accordingly. The measured quantity is an amplitude- and frequency-
modulated signal.
▪ Direction of travel
This frequency-shifted Doppler signal is obtained as a complex quantity by
mixing at two 90° phase-shifted mixers (inphase and quadrature
component), which allows the direction of travel to be determined.
▪ Speed
Since the two antennas have different radiation angles to the ground
surface, they produce two different spectra which are evaluated by a
digital signal processor (patented method). This searches for the
intersection (SP) of the two spectra. This method ensures that the speed

DR42 Page 69 of 97
Operation
determined is largely independent of the nature of the reflective ground

surface and the vibrations of the train.
11.3.3 Function: Inputs and outputs
11.3.3.1 Pulse output
▪ The pulse output supplies a speed-proportional frequency.

▪ You will find further information on the pulse output in chapter "Technical
