  • Page 7: Introduction

    Introduction This manual describes the procedures to install and configure the SBPWSIx wireless sensors to detect cars in the parking bays. The installation procedure is divided into two parts: • Sensor assembly • Sensor installation This configuration procedure, carried out by using the Sensor Manager software, is explained for the different sensor versions.
  • Page 8: General Description

    General description The SBPWSIx wireless sensor is part of the Carpark system, which contains other types of sensors, controllers and displays. The SBPWSIx is designed to be buried under the parking bay and it will be completely invisible. It detects the occupied/free status of the parking bay by using the Earth’s magnetic field.
  • Page 9: Radio Communication

    Radio communication The sensor is equipped with a radio transceiver. The sensor is available in two versions according to the communication protocol: Model Radio version ® SBPWSI1 Long Range wireless/LoRaWAN standard SBPWSI2 NB-IoT Each model has its own available features and the properly procedures have to be followed to install and configure them.
  • Page 10: Architecture (Private Long Range Wireless Network)

    Architecture (private Long Range wireless network) The SBPWSI1 sensor can be configured to transmits the parking bay status to the SBPCWSI1 concentrator using Long Range wireless communication in a private network. The SBPCWSI1 concentrator collects occupancy information from each SBPWSI1 sensor and transmits them, in real-time, to the SBP2CPY24 Server.
  • Page 11: Architecture (Lorawan Network)

    ® Architecture (LoRaWAN network) The SBPWSI1 sensor can be configured to transmit the parking bay status directly to a ® LoRaWAN gateway or public network. The gateway will then send the information to the proper ® LoRaWAN server. Element Component Function Detects changes to the earth’s magnetic field caused by the SBPWSI1 sensor...
  • Page 12: Architecture (Nb-Iot Network)

    Architecture (NB-IoT network) The SBPWSI2 sensor can be configured to transmit the parking bay status directly to a NB-IoT gateway or public network. The gateway will then send the information to the cloud Server and then to the CPY Server. Element Component Function Detects changes to the earth’s magnetic field caused by the...
  • Page 13: Safety Notes

    Safety notes A correct installation of the sensor is essential to guarantee the safety of pedestrians, cyclists and animals. The SBPWSIx sensor is installed in open and undefined parking lots, to which everyone can access, so that it is necessary that its installation is carried out in the best feasible way.
  • Page 14: Preventive Precautions For Installation

    Decree no. 9 April 2008, n. 81 "Consolidated text on health and safety at work" and technical standard UNI ISO 11228. In any case and following the failure to comply with the above, Carlo Gavazzi declines all responsibility for any damage caused to persons and / or property during or following the installation of the sensors.
  • Page 15: Assembly

    Assembly Things to Know The sensor is delivered partially assembled for safety reasons due to shipping rules. For this reason, the sensor must necessarily have the battery disconnected. The shipping by air of the sensor is subjected to the IATA shipping rules with reference to the shipment of lithium batteries or devices containing lithium batteries.
  • Page 16: Procedures

    Procedures SBPWSI1 assembly The sensor must be assembled and sealed before installation. It is recommended to follow the procedure in a lab. See the procedure below: Connect the battery to the connector on the electronic Remove the lower cap and extract the sensor board equipment Insert the sensor equipment then fix the lower cap...

See the procedure below: a) Connect the battery to the connector on the Remove the lower cap and extract the sensor electronic board -b) Insert the SIM card* into the slot equipment...
  • Page 18: Sensor Installation

    Sensor installation Things to know The sensor installation procedure involves a series of activities, including work to be carried out on public land, for the realization of the holes where the sensors have to be installed. This activity must be carried out in compliance with local regulations for the safety of workers and strangers (construction site, operational safety plan, signs, fences, etc…).
  • Page 19: Verification Of Electric/Magnetic Fields

    Verification of electric/magnetic fields The sensor is sensitive to electric and magnetic fields to such an extent that its placement too close, for example, to an electric cable, can distort the reading of the vacant / occupied status, as it may be able to saturate the sensor transducer. Using a magnetometer, it is possible to check the presence of interfering electro-magnetic fields.
  • Page 20: Positioning Of Sensors

    Positioning of sensors Please follow the suggestion below to define the installation position of the sensor, according to parking bay type. Longitudinal side-by-side parking bays The sensor should be placed in the median line of the parking bay, at 1.25/1.5 metres from the head of the parking bay.
  • Page 21 Diagonal side-by-side parking bays The sensor should be placed in the median line of the parking bay, at a distance of 1.25/1.5 metres from the head of the parking bay. Opposite parking bays N.B. In case of other types of parking facility or in case of doubts about the positioning of the sensors, please contact us.
  • Page 22: Procedures

    Procedures Preliminary operation before installing Do not install the sensors in their final position until you have carefully read the information below Both the SBPWSIx sensors have a unique ID number pre-provisioned during the production phase. The ID number consists of 5 digits (e.g. 10123) and can be found on the label on top of the sensor.
  • Page 23 Distribute the SBPWSIx sensors over the map and write down the pre-provisioned ID number on the installation map matching them with the parking bays number. You should evaluate the preferred solution. See the example below: Once the association is done, each SBPWSIx sensor must be physically re-addressed by using the Sensor Manager software.
  • Page 24: Sensor Installation

    Sensor installation The sensors must be installed into a hole made in the pavement. The procedure below explains how to correctly install the SBPWSIx sensor under the ground: Step Action Identify and mark the spot where the sensor will be installed See the Positioning of the sensors chapter to find the best placing according to the type of...
  • Page 25 Insert the sensor trying to orient the arrow, positioned on the upper edge of the sensor, in the direction of the receiver (concentrator, bridges, repeater). Arrow Double-check that the matching between the sensor ID and the parking bay number (see Preliminary operation before installation procedure) is correct.
  • Page 26 Seal the top of the sensor with the chosen product (cold asphalt, resin, concrete, etc.) and dust the surface with fine sand. If the pavement is in self-locking tiles or porphyry cubes, it is possible to cover the top of sensor with a little slice (10/15 mm) of the same material, fixed with concrete.
  • Page 27: How To Reset The Sensor

    How to reset the sensor If the sensor has been previously set in sleep mode to preserve the battery consumption, the sensor sends a keep-alive packet per day only. This means that the sensor is not able to communicate properly with the calibration device and it does not appear in the Sensor Manager software interface.
  • Page 28: Sensor Manager Software

    Sensor Manager Software The Sensor Manager software is designed to setup, calibrate and manage the wireless sensor SBPWSI1 and SBPWSI2. During the sensors installation, the software can be executed in any PC (the SBPCAL calibration unit device is required) to communicate with sensors and manage them in group or individually.
