WS-RADAR62GBY 62GHz mmWave Industrial Radar Sensor

Model:
WS-RADAR62GBY

In March 2024, WENSHING launched the 62GHz Radar Sensor (Model: WS-RADAR62GBY). This product utilizes 62GHz millimeter-wave radar technology, a type of microwave sensor known for its high transmission rate, large data capacity, and low latency. It offers high precision, long-range detection up to 25 meters, and strong anti-interference capabilities, enabling accurate measurement of object distances.

This product WS-RADAR62GBY also comes with an App that allows users to set the desired sensing distance via their mobile phones and displays the current measured distance within the App.

WS-RADAR62GBY 62GHz mmWave Industrial Radar Sensor | Radar Distance Sensing & Occupancy Detection

WS-RADAR62GBY is a 62 GHz mmWave radar distance sensor with a freely configurable 0.5–24.3 m detection zone. After one-click empty-zone calibration it decides whether a target is present from distance, main-signal or range-energy changes and drives its relay output directly.

A built-in Wi-Fi web interface, live trend charts, BLE and OTA firmware updates mean no PC software is needed — installation, tuning and maintenance are all done from a phone browser.

Vehicle applications: parking entrances, barrier gates, bays and car wash

Cars are the most common target for WS-RADAR62GBY: a large metal body gives a strong, stable millimetre-wave return, unaffected by night, back-light, rain, fog or headlights. The table lists vehicle applications — the radar decides “is there a car inside the set distance, and for how long”, then the relay tells the barrier gate, door operator, bay light or car-wash machine.

Vehicle applicationWhat the radar decidesRelay goes toKey settings

Vehicle application 1

Barrier-gate anti-drop: the arm stays up while a car is underneath

The worst failure of a parking, residential or factory barrier gate is dropping the arm before the car has passed. Mount WS-RADAR62GBY beside the gate facing the lane under the arm and the radar keeps checking whether a car is still there.

Set the detection window to the lane under the arm, run empty-zone calibration once with no car, and use distance or zone energy as the “car present” condition. Wire the relay to the gate controller’s safety / vehicle-present input so the arm cannot drop while a car is present.

  • Car under the arm → relay on → controller blocks the arm
  • Car fully leaves the window for the decision time → relay off → arm may drop
  • No ground-loop cutting in the road surface; fast install, unaffected by resurfacing
  • Works in rain, at night and with headlights shining at it

Follow the gate maker’s instructions for the safety input and NC/NO wiring; keep the gate’s own safety features in place.

Vehicle application 2

With plate recognition: stop tailgating and unrecognised entry

Paired with the WENSHING WS-LPR plate-recognition camera, the camera decides whether a car may enter, while the radar confirms how many cars are actually in the lane and whether the car has left.

Single unit: after one plate is admitted, if the lane stays occupied beyond the decision time, or another car enters while the arm is up, the access controller flags tailgating and triggers a beacon or buzzer. Dual units: one before and one after the gate — the controller reads the trigger order for direction; a car appearing behind the gate without a recognition record is a false entry.

  • Plate admitted → radar confirms the car has passed → arm drops
  • Lane still occupied past the decision time → tailgating alert
  • Rear unit triggers first with no recognition record → false-entry / wrong-way alert
  • The same radar also provides barrier-gate anti-drop

Tailgating and false-entry logic runs in the access controller or PLC from the two relay signals; the radar itself outputs car / no car.

Vehicle application 3: indoor parking bays

Ceiling-mounted above the bay; when a car parks the relay switches the red/green bay light or reports to the parking-guidance system so drivers see free bays from afar.

Feature used: Empty-zone calibration + distance + relay

WS-RADAR62GBY EV charging bay occupancy radar sensor

Vehicle application 4: EV charging bays

Detects whether a charging bay is occupied and for how long; the decision time separates a quick manoeuvre from long parking for charging management and overstay alerts.

Feature used: Distance + decision time + relay

Vehicle application 5: motorcycle bays

Motorcycles are irregular with small reflecting areas; combining distance and energy conditions gives a stable bay-occupied decision.

Feature used: Combined conditions + temperature compensation

Key Advantages

0.5–24.3 m detection zone

Start and end distances are set in centimetres to exclude ceilings, brackets and other near-field structures; long-range measurement profiles are configured automatically.

One-click empty-zone calibration

Clear the zone and press “Apply range & auto calibrate”: a site baseline is captured within seconds and stored in flash, so it survives power cycles.

Three combinable trigger conditions

Distance change, main reflection strength and range energy can be combined, with decrease/increase direction, % threshold and decision time to suppress false triggers.

Per-temperature drift compensation

While the zone is verified empty, comparison baselines are learned per temperature (up to 60 records), keeping decisions consistent through day/night and seasonal changes.

Relay + buzzer + LEDs

Relay standby contact NC/NO is selectable and testable from the web UI; trigger beep can be muted, and status LEDs show network and trigger state on site.

Wi-Fi web UI · BLE · OTA

Configure and view 24-hour trends in any browser; read distance and change parameters over BLE GATT commands; web-upload and server OTA keep settings and calibration.

FAQ

Can it talk to a PLC or controller over a wired bus?
Yes. Besides the standard relay, Wi-Fi and BLE, CAN, RS-485 or RS-232 interface versions can be ordered (CAN and RS-485 share one design) — just specify it in your order.
How far can the WS-RADAR62GBY detect?
The detection zone is settable from 0.50 m to 24.3 m. Usable range depends on mounting height, target size and the site reflection environment, so test with real targets before finalising.
Can it be used for level measurement?
Yes. It outputs the distance (cm) of the strongest reflection in the zone, readable live over BLE, and a distance condition can switch the relay for high/low alarms. Verify the reflection of the actual liquid or bulk material on site first.
Do I need PC software to configure it?
No. The device has a built-in web server: connect a phone or PC to the device Wi-Fi, log in with a browser and set the zone, calibration, conditions and relay. Integrators can also use BLE AT commands.
When should I recalibrate?
After moving the sensor, changing mounting height or angle, changing the detection zone, or adding large reflective surfaces (floor, walls, metal) — clear the zone and run empty-zone calibration again.
Will temperature changes cause false triggers?
While the zone is verified empty, the firmware learns comparison baselines at different temperatures and decides against them, reducing drift-related errors; trend charts help you review site changes.
Does a firmware update erase my settings?
No. Web or server OTA updates firmware only; Wi-Fi, calibration and decision settings are kept. Do not cut power during an update. Integration support and custom firmware features are available on request.
