Technical specifications.
| Spec | Pathfinder Receiver (Base Station Kit) | MicroRadar Portable Person-Detection Radar |
|---|---|---|
| Dimensions (H x D x W) | 2.1 x 7.2 x 8.4 in | — |
| Weight | 3.76 lb | 1 kg |
| Environmental rating | MIL-STD-810: Method 506.4 Procedure I (rain); Method 510.4 Procedures I and II (blowing dust and sand) | — |
| Operating temperature | -32 to +49 C (-25 to +120 F) | -32 to +71 degC |
| Storage temperature | -33 to +71 C (-28 to +160 F) | — |
| Connectors | 2x MIL-style bayonet (power, RS-232 serial); 1x waterproof RJ-45 Ethernet; 1x TNC female antenna | — |
| Power | 100-240 VAC, 47-63 Hz line power providing 12 VDC | — |
| Sensor link range | typically up to 10 km, terrain dependent; elevating the receiver antenna greatly increases effective range | — |
| Kit contents | Base station with Pathfinder software installed, waterproof Ethernet receiver, antenna, 10 ft antenna cable, antenna mounting hardware, installation tools, user manual, quick-reference cards | — |
| Standard sensor pairing | Kits normally include 60 Mini or 30 XL sensors; individual quantities customisable and expandable | — |
| Deployment | User-friendly, ready to use in minutes; no internet, gateways or relay infrastructure required | — |
| Export classification | ECCN 6A999.a under US Export Administration Regulations; export licence may be required depending on destination, user and end use | — |
| Sensing modality | — | Radar, optimized for person detection at short ranges |
| Detection range | — | Up to 50 m |
| Field of view | — | 90 deg |
| Detection modes | — | Three modes: full detection, detection on trig, low-power detection |
| Full detection mode | — | Continuously on; does not automatically turn off if no tracks are found (~1 day battery) |
| Detection-on-trig mode | — | Off until triggered by another Flexnet sensor; returns to power-off after 10 s without objects in FoV; ideal when low radio EMC profile is required |
| Low-power mode | — | Power cycle 4 s off / 2 s on; full detection on object detection, back to save cycle after 10 s without objects (~5 days battery) |
| Target output | — | Cursor on Target information directly into Flexnet Commander; tracks can be replayed to verify events |
| Detection tuning | — | Exclusion and inclusion zones; adjustable range trigger limit to filter activity outside the range of interest |
| Operating channels | — | 5 separate channels - up to 5 devices with overlapping range covering a larger area |
| Mesh role | — | Individual node in the Flexnet mesh, relaying data from other sensors (Mini/Scout/PIR) |
| Dimensions | — | 170 x 80 x 70 mm |
| Battery life (full detection) | — | ~1 day |
| Battery life (low-power mode) | — | ~5 days |
| Battery life (detection on trig) | — | ~20-30 days; up to ~40 days with external battery |
| On-demand adaptations | — | Vehicle-optimized mode (separate or simultaneous with person detection); fusion of alarms from several devices into a homogenous detection zone |
| Environmental standard | — | MIL-STD-810 |
| EMC standard | — | MIL-STD-461 |
