SICK SRA3-AAR150BKZI Sensor
SICK SRA3-AAR150BKZI safeRS3 radar sensor unit, part 6080599. Weather-independent safety field monitoring for outdoor machinery.
Overview
The SICK SRA3-AAR150BKZI (part number 6080599) is a sensor unit of the safeRS3 safety radar family. Using FMCW radar technology it monitors configured protective fields around machines, remaining reliable in dust, fog, darkness and adverse weather where optical safety sensors reach their limits.
How It Works
The radar emits frequency-modulated continuous waves and evaluates the reflected signals to detect persons and objects entering the protective field. The detection result is processed by the safeRS3 system and leads to a safe stop via the safety outputs when the field is violated.

Installation and Setup Notes
Install the radar with the mounting geometry from the family planning documentation and configure fields with the system software. Verify detection behavior with test persons across the field, including edge cases, and record the configuration in the machine safety documentation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does it complement laser scanners?
It takes over monitoring where dust, fog or weather would blind optical systems, or provides additional independent sensing.
What does the 150 in the order code indicate?
The suffix identifies the variant configuration of this safeRS3 system component.
Is mounting direction critical?
Yes, follow the family's mounting guidance for height and tilt so the field covers the required area reliably.
