Description
- DFRobot Gravity: 24GHz mmWave Human Presence Detection Sensor (12m, I2C & UART)
- Detects presence up to 8m
- Wide 100° horizontal range
- Accurate FMCW modulation
- Versatile I2C & UART support
- Compact 22x30mm design
The DFRobot Gravity C4001 24GHz mmWave Human Presence Detection Sensor (12m, I2C/UART) operates at a 24GHz wavelength signal and is designed for a variety of applications including human presence detection, environmental monitoring, and real-time monitoring projects. This sensor features a horizontal detection range of 100°, is capable of detecting human presence within 8 meters, and can measure motion and range up to 12 meters. It is equipped with a Gravity interface and supports both I2C and UART communication methods, ensuring compatibility with a range of development boards such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32 / ESP8266.
Unlike infrared sensors, this millimeter-wave presence sensor can detect both static and moving objects, offering a significant advantage in terms of responsiveness and reliability. Its strong anti-interference capability allows it to perform consistently in various environmental conditions, unaffected by temperature fluctuations, ambient light changes, and environmental noise. The sensor is adept at detecting human presence, regardless of whether the individual is stationary or in motion.
Employing FMCW modulation, the sensor is capable of measuring distance and speed with a high degree of accuracy. FMCW radar systems are known for their continuous emission of wave signals with varying frequencies, which are then analyzed to determine the distance, speed, and angle of objects. Millimeter-wave radar technology, which operates in the high-frequency spectrum, is utilized by this sensor to provide non-contact detection and detailed information about an object's distance, velocity, and angle.
The performance of the millimeter-wave human body sensor is sensitive to the method of installation. To ensure optimal functionality, it is important to follow recommended installation practices, which may include top, bottom, horizontal, or downward tilted positioning.
The sensor is compact and easily integrated into various systems, making it suitable for applications such as industrial automation and real-time monitoring and tracking. Its ability to detect human presence, measure distances, and determine speeds, combined with its resistance to interference from environmental factors, makes it a versatile and reliable component for advanced sensing solutions.
The millimeter-wave human body sensor requires careful installation to ensure proper performance and functionality. Improper installation may adversely affect the sensor's operation.

Refund Policy
If you are not satisfied with a product purchased from the Site, you may request a return within 30 days from the delivery date, unless the product is listed under the Return Exceptions below or is subject to specific return conditions noted on the product page.
This return policy also applies, as a minimum standard, to products sold and fulfilled by third-party vendors through the Marketplace.
Please review the Return Conditions, Return Exceptions and the process on How to Request a Return Authorization (RA) before initiating a return request.
Returns under this policy concern non-defective products. In the case of a confirmed manufacturing defect, remedies are handled under the Warranty terms, at the Vendor's discretion. See the Warranty section.
Return Conditions
To qualify for a refund under the 30-day return policy, all of the following conditions must be met:
- A valid Return Authorization (RA) number must be obtained prior to returning the product. Returns without an RA number will be refused.
- The RA number is valid for 30 days. The returned item must be received within that period.
- The RA number must be included with the return.
- Products must be returned in unused, unmodified condition (e.g., no scratches, alterations, missing parts, or signs of installation/use) and in their original packaging, suitable for resale.
- Shipping fees are non-refundable. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer, except in cases of a product confirmed defective through RobotShop's troubleshooting process or of a verified shipping error by RobotShop.
- Refunds are processed within 7 days after receipt and inspection of the returned item.
- A $100 cleaning fee may apply to domestic robots returned in used or unclean condition.
- A 20% restocking fee may apply to large-quantity returns of items ordered specifically for the customer from the manufacturer or not part of RobotShop's standard inventory.
Return Exceptions
The following products are not eligible for return or refund under this policy:
- Used, damaged, or modified products — Items that show signs of use, wear, or alteration, making them unsuitable for resale.
- Consumables — Use and wear-and-tear components, altered or depleted through use (e.g., batteries, belts, brushes, gears, filament, tires, disposable bags, lubricants, greases, waxes, etc.). Not eligible for return once opened or used.
- Perishables — Goods liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly. Not eligible for return.
- Sealed goods (health or hygiene) — Items sealed for health-protection or hygiene reasons (e.g., masks, gloves, odor-absorbing products). Not eligible for return once unsealed.
- Build-it-yourself products and items requiring customer assembly — Including robots & kits, robot parts, and other products requiring assembly or soldering. Not eligible for return once assembled, soldered, or installed.
- Digital Goods, Software, and Apps — Final sale only, due to licensing restrictions.
- Clearance Items — Products identified as clearance or final sale, including end-of-life or discontinued items.
- Custom-made, personalized, or special-order items — Products manufactured, configured, adapted, or built to the customer's own specifications and requirements.
- On-Demand Items — Standard catalogue products not stocked by RobotShop and ordered specifically to fulfill a customer request.
- Professional & Specialized Equipment — See the Professional & Specialized Equipment Warranty page and Professional & Institutional Buyers (B2B) section in the Terms & Conditions.
How to Request a Return Authorization (RA)
While the same return policy applies, these orders require a separate contact process for returns.
- RobotShop Fulfilled Orders → submit a support ticket from your account under My Support Tickets.
- Marketplace Vendor Orders → submit a ticket from your account under My Marketplace Tickets to contact the vendor directly.
Note: Marketplace vendor products are normally labelled with SKUs starting with RM, and identified on the product page with the mention "Sold and fulfilled by [Vendor Name]".
