FEATURES



•ThesensoriswirelesslypairedwithanIPSparkingmetertodetectthepresenceorabsenceof

avehicle



•Thesensorenclosuredimensionsare5.5”x3.5”x3.5”



•Sensorisfullyencapsulatedandissuitableforawetlocationfromtheelementsandcontains

itsownbatterypowersourceoftwolithiumionhighcapacity3.6VDCcells.Thehelicalantenna

SENSINGMETHODOLOGY



IPSVehicleDetectionSensorsusemultiplesensingelementstoproducemaximumsensor

sensitivity.Aferrousobject,suchasavehicle’sengineblock,altersthelocalmagneticfield

surroundingthesensor.Asacarpullsintoaparkingspace,thesensordetectsthechangein

themagneticfieldandrelaystheinformationtotheIPSparkingmeter.Thesensorcanalsobe

finetunetoregisteramovementofavehicleinaspecificspaceincreasingaccuracyandmaking

datareceivedmorevaluable.



INSTALLATION



Forbestperformance,sensorsareinstalledbelow‐grade,typically2–3inchesbelowthe

surface

withtheloopantennaandopticsabovegradeorstreetleveltobeabletodetect

vehicles.



Forthemostaccurateresults,sensorsareinstalledinthegroundundertheareawherethe

transmissionandengineofthecarisexpectedtobe.



BENEFITS



•Sensorcommunicatesdirectlyto

IPSmeterratherthanameshcommunicationnetwork,

providingthemostreliablecommunicationtransmissionavailableatasignificantlylowercost
