FABISENSE BAR-03L/W Radar Occupancy Sensor for Smart Buildings Malaysia
Title
FABISENSE BAR-03L/W Radar Occupancy Sensor for Smart Buildings Malaysia
Content
The FABISENSE BAR-03L/W uses 60 GHz millimetre-wave radar for human occupancy sensing, with additional temperature, humidity and light sensing functions listed in the manufacturer catalogue.
For offices, meeting rooms and commercial buildings in Malaysia, it offers an option for occupancy monitoring without camera images. The catalogue also describes LoRaWAN and Tuya Smart connectivity, with the supplied configuration and integration requirements subject to confirmation.
What Is the FABISENSE BAR-03L/W?
The BAR-03L/W is presented as a radar detector for sensing human presence in an indoor space.
Its listed functions include:
60 GHz millimetre-wave radar occupancy sensing
Temperature and humidity sensing
Ambient light sensing
Multicolour LED indicator
USB Type-C power
Wall mounting and adhesive fixing
Connectivity options involving LoRaWAN and Tuya Smart
Although the specification table uses an air quality detector heading, it marks PM2.5, PM10, CO2 and TVOC functions as unavailable. This model should therefore be selected for its listed occupancy and environmental sensing functions.
Occupancy Sensing Without Camera Images
The catalogue describes radar-based sensing that does not require images.
This may interest building owners who want to observe occupancy while reducing the need for cameras inside meeting rooms, offices or shared facilities.
Occupancy data still requires appropriate access and data management. Confirm what information the system transmits, stores and makes available to connected platforms.
The supplied page does not establish facial recognition, individual identification or video recording functions.
Detection Distance and Coverage
The manufacturer lists side-mounted sensing at a distance of 4.5 metres.
However, the page contains two different coverage angles:
ParameterCatalogue informationRadar frequency60 GHzListed sensing distance4.5 mCoverage angle in feature list100 degreesHorizontal angle in specification table110 degrees
Confirm the correct coverage angle and mounting requirements before planning an installation.
Room geometry, furniture, partitions and sensor position should be considered during a site trial. The supplied page does not specify a recommended mounting height or provide a complete coverage diagram.
Occupancy, Counting and Optional Modules
The catalogue illustrates occupancy, counting, fall detection, breathing and heart rate applications.
Its accompanying text states that counting, fall and breathing or heart rate modules can be substituted, with further details available on enquiry.
These functions should not be assumed to operate together in every BAR-03L/W unit. Specify the required module and algorithm when requesting a quotation.
For example:
Occupancy detection: Confirm presence detection and vacancy reporting behaviour.
People counting: Confirm counting capacity and performance; the illustration references 0–3 people.
Fall detection: Confirm the exact module, intended use and alert workflow.
Breathing or heart rate: Request supporting performance documentation and intended-use information.
The catalogue does not establish medical certification or suitability as a sole emergency monitoring system.
Temperature, Humidity and Light Sensing
The specification table lists:
ParameterCatalogue informationTemperature range−20°C to 60°CTemperature accuracy entry±0.2°C, with ±0.4°C maximum statedHumidity range0–100% RHHumidity precision entry±2%, with ±3% maximum statedLight range0–10,000 lux
Confirm the conditions under which the stated accuracy applies. The page does not establish that these measurement ranges are also the device’s permitted operating conditions.
Environmental readings may provide additional inputs for a building monitoring system. Control of lighting or HVAC equipment requires a compatible integration, rather than the sensor alone.
LoRaWAN and Tuya Smart Connectivity
The catalogue describes LoRaWAN communication, compatibility with standard LoRaWAN gateways and third-party IoT platforms, and support for Tuya Smart.
The specification table also lists Tuya Smart Wi-Fi.
Before ordering, confirm whether these are separate variants, optional configurations or functions available together in the supplied unit.
For a LoRaWAN installation, confirm:
The exact regional frequency plan.
Gateway compatibility.
Payload documentation.
Reporting intervals.
Network server and platform requirements.
The catalogue references 868–920 MHz, so the correct configuration for the intended Malaysian installation needs confirmation.
For a Tuya Smart installation, confirm:
Wi-Fi requirements.
Supported app functions.
Occupancy event reporting.
Automation compatibility.
History and notification options.
Understanding the Stated Wireless Distance
The manufacturer lists a 3 km transmission distance in open conditions for the described LoRaWAN connection.
This is not a guaranteed indoor coverage distance. Building construction, gateway placement and radio conditions affect practical performance.
Plan gateway coverage using an installation assessment or trial, especially across multiple floors or separated rooms.

A battery capacity or battery runtime is not listed. Plan for an external power connection, with voltage and current requirements confirmed in the operating manual.
For 86-type box installation, check compatibility with the actual mounting box and available space before purchase.
Smart Building Applications Malaysia
Meeting Rooms and Offices
Facilities teams in Puchong, Kuala Lumpur, Johor and Penang may consider the sensor for presence monitoring or occupancy-based automation, subject to platform compatibility.
Shared Indoor Facilities
Occupancy events may support room-use monitoring where camera images are unnecessary. Confirm whether the required output is simple presence status or a count of occupants.
Building Management Projects
Integrators should request the communication protocol, data format and supported access method before specifying the sensor.
A gateway or app connection does not automatically establish compatibility with an existing building management system.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does BAR-03L/W use a camera?
The catalogue describes millimetre-wave radar sensing without images. A camera function is not listed.
Does every unit count people?
The page presents counting as a module option. Confirm the exact configuration and supported capacity before ordering.
Are fall detection and heart rate monitoring standard functions?
The catalogue’s module wording requires clarification. These should not be advertised as standard functions on every unit.
Does it measure CO2 or PM2.5?
The table marks CO2, PM2.5, PM10 and TVOC functions as unavailable.
Can it directly switch lights or air conditioning?
A relay output or direct switching function is not listed. Confirm the required controller and integration.
Does it work without a gateway?
That depends on the supplied communication variant. A LoRaWAN deployment requires compatible network infrastructure; the Tuya configuration requires separate confirmation.
