SENSIT
1 INTRODUCTION
The SENSIT vehicle detection system facilitates accurate measurement on occupancy of individual parking
spaces in car parks, and on-street parking spaces. This information can be used to guide traffic to free parking
spaces but can also be used for on-street parking enforcement and overstay detection. For on-street
enforcement the number of occupied parking spaces can be compared with the number of payments realized
by the pay station. For overstay detection the system alerts instantly a parking officer to the presence of nearby
overstaying vehicles. Based on this information you can exactly determine which space to enforce.
All the SENSIT vehicle detection sensors are featured with detection and communicate wireless, creating their
own network. The SENSIT sensors do not require power wiring, in contrast to conventional systems that require
wiring throughout the car park and mounting onto the ceiling.
Easy installation of the sensors is guaranteed. Once installed no maintenance is required for years. The actual
status (occupancy) of the sensor is transmitted to the Relay Node, which is part of the wireless mesh network.
Different types o f ruggedl y designe d sensors are available to accommodate installation in indoor car parks, onstreet spaces and road surfaces.
1.1 SENSIT IR
Vehicle detection sensor featured with dual detection technology (infrared and earthmagnetic field detection.
The SENSIT
unit suitable for on-street application.
1.2 SENSIT Flush Mount
IR is mo unted into the floor of each parking space allowing for vandal proof installation, making the
Vehicle detection sensor for flush mount installation with the road surface. The sensor is resistant to snow
ploughs and offers vandal proof installation. The SENSIT Flush Mount is featured with earth magnetic field
detection.
1.3 SENSIT Surface Mount
Vehicle detection sensor designed for car parks where drilling is not allowed or non pe rmanent mounting is
required. The unit is suitable for indoor car parks and rooftop parkings. The sensor can easily be glued onto the
surface. Replacement can be achieved by removing the sensor installed in the mounting ring. The SENSIT Flush
Mount is featured with dual detection technology (infrared and earth magnetic field).

2.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following safety precautions should be observed during normal use, service and repair.
• The SENSIT
• To be sure of safety, do not modify or add anything to the SENSIT
indicated by NEDAP N.V.
2.2 DETECTION
The SENSIT IR is featured with earthmagnetic field and infrared detection.
2.3 DIMENSIONS
The SENSIT IR is designed for mounting into the floor of a parking space. See Figure 1 for the dimensions of the
unit in mm. The top of the SENSIT
IR may only be installed and serviced by qualified service personnel.
IR other than mentioned in this manual or
IR is laser engraved with the node ID number, see Figure 2.
Figure 1: Dimensions SENSIT IR
Figure 2: Top laser engraved side of the SENSIT IR
The node ID is mentioned on the bottom of the housing under ID. There is also a 125kHz passive RFID label
embedded into the SENSIT
IR. This can be used for verification of the SENSIT IR or to localize the SENSIT IR on th e
parking lot.

SENSIT
2.4 INSTALLATION CONDITIONS
The installation recommendation is based on the following environmental conditions;
- Ambient temperature between 5 to 40 °C [41 to 104 °F]
- Dry weather conditions
- Surface based on concrete, asphalt or pavement
2.5 REQUIRED INSTALLAT ION MATERIALS
The following would be required for mounting of the SENSIT IR.
- Equipment: Automatic drill
- Drill size: Dimensions Ø 85 mm [3.35 in]
- Drill depth: 54 mm [2.13 in]
- Filler material: Liquid rapid mortar
- Required amount per sensor: Approx 100 ml
We have good results with the rapid mortar TM 5R. See appendix B for specifications. Ensure to follow the
guidelines and instructions as outlined on the filler material.
2.6 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Below the mounting procedure for the SENSIT IR. Write the ID number of the installed SENSIT on the installation
plan.
Close off the parking area
STEP2
Indicate where the sensor should be positioned. Distribute the SENSIT IR over the
empty parking lot (without mounting them into the floor).
STEP 3
All SENSIT IR are set to transport/stock mode during shipment. Prior to installation all SENSIT IR must be swept
with the reset magnet over the left bottom part of the sensor indicating th e ART: XXXXXX and C E marking as
indicated in Figure 2. This will give the SENSIT IR a reset. Please ensure to use a strong magnet (Neodymium).
Note: Once out of the transport/stock mode the battery lifetime starts to count.
STEP 4
Write down the node ID number on your installation plan so you are sure which SENSIT IR is positioned in which
parking bay.
STEP 5
Verify if all the SENSIT IR are online and if communication is received by the Data Collector after the magnet
sweep. Do this prior to mounting the units into the ground.
Note: Only once all SENSIT IR are live and seen in the software they can be installed into the pavement.

When the SENSIT IR are not calibrated they hardly send any messages. This is due to the fact that there
STEP 6
Drill a hole of 85 mm [
3.35 in] into the centre of the parking bay.
STEP 7
Apply the right amount of filler and pour into the hole.
STEP 8
Double-check the node ID number and the pa rking bay on the installation
plan and place the SENSIT IR into the hole. Take attenti on that you fixate
the SENSIT during the curing time otherwise the SENSIT will start to float.
SENSIT
STEP 9
After installation the SENSIT IR must be calibrated. Ensure that the parking space is empty and that there is no car
parked on top of the sensor or on neighbouring parking bays. Also ensure not metal parts (such as tools) are
positioned in th e surrounding of the sensors as this might affect calibration. See InstallGuide SIM Software for
more information on calibration.
Note:
are no events generated because the magnetic tressholds are not crossed.
STEP 10
Leave the filler harden for 8 hours before vehicles are allowed in the
parking space a gain.
2.7 REPLACEMENT
When the battery life of the SENSIT IR fails after specified life time, we advise to replace the unit completely. The
SENSIT IR is fully sealed and for outdoor use therefore batteries cannot be replaced.
Drill out the old SENSIT IR and complete the mounting procedure as describe in the previous paragraph.
