1. General description
The TPS110 EU Parking Lot Sensor is used for detecting parked vehicles in parking lots. Only use the parking lot
sensor in conjunction with approved components.
2. Assembly and commissioning
1. Installation requirements
Before installing the sensors, make sure that the necessary infrastructure is working properly - make sure the
gateways are switched on, that a stable Internet connection has been established, and that there is a backend
connection. The backend, as well as the associated management software, must be functional. Make sure that all ofl
the required components (see Fig. 1 TPS110 EU sensor), as well as the tools, are ready.
Figure 1 TPS110 EU Sensor
2. Installing the sensor base
The sensor base is attached to the substrate (e.g., concrete, asphalt). To do this, we recommend a two-component
adhesive.
The adhesive is available in various package sizes (e.g., DELO®-PUR 9692; universal 2k polyurethane adhesive
available
in 50 ml and 200 ml cartridges); we would be happy to help with procurement. We recommend attaching several
sensor bases
first and only then installing the sensors.

Preparation of the parking space
The parking space must be free of dirt, dust, oil, water and other contaminants. For this purpose, at least one swept
area should be prepared. However, it is recommended to clean the surface to remove contamination using a high-
pressure cleaner and a burner.
The installation must take place in the center of the parking space (intersection of the two diagonals, see Fig. 3) in
order to ensure optimum sensor accuracy.

Figure 4 Available parking space for sensor installation
To provide the adhesive with a closed substrate, the surface intended for the installation of the sensor base should be
free of any gaps or misalignment (see Figure 4 Available parking space for sensor installation). This is crucial for the
contact surface and the adhesive effect of the sensor.
Figure 5 Substrate example (continuous) Figure 6 Substrate example (gap)
INFORMATION:
For the bonding procedure, please follow the instructions of the adhesive manufacturer (e.g.,
temperature, safety information and work instructions).
A parking space cleaning should be clarified in advance with the parking lot operator so that the
treatment does not result in removal of existing coatings.

Installation of the sensor base
Insert the adhesive cartridge into the glue gun/adhesive press (Fig. 7 Inserting the adhesive cartridge; in the case of
DELO®-PUR 9692, the mixing ratio is 1:1, so you do not have to pay attention to the orientation of the cartridge). Then
attach the mixing tip on the cartridge by removing the cartridge cap (Fig. 8 Sealing cap adhesive cartridge) and
attaching the mixing tube (Fig. 9 Mixing tube on adhesive cartridge; here, bayonet fitting).
Figure 7 Inserting the cartridge Figure 8 Sealing cap Figure 9 Mixing tube
To avoid contamination and to get the maximum use out of the plasma cleaning process, open the sensor base
package just before applying the adhesive. Apply about 40 ml of the DELO-PUR 9692 adhesive in the center (see Fig.
10 Adhesive application and Fig. 11 Adhesive amount). If you use a 50 ml cartridge, you can empty it completely.
Apply the adhesive in the form of a bubble in the center of the sensor base (no screws or even surface).
INFORMATION:
The use of the mixing tube is important for mixing the two components of the adhesive and for the
resulting adhesive effect.

Figure 10 Adhesive application Figure 11 Adhesive amount
Please note that, as soon as the two components are mixed, the adhesive cures within a few minutes.
Now you can mount the sensor in the center of the parking space by applying light pressure on the sensor base (see
Fig. 12 Sensor base attachment). Make sure that the sensor is centered in the parking space and that the Bosch logo
on the sensor base points towards the access road (see Figure 13 Sensor base installed). Subsequent twisting of the
sensor base is not possible.
INFORMATION:
Once the adhesive in the mixing tube has cured, it cannot be used again. At room temperature, a
typical processing time for the adhesive is about 5 minutes.

Figure 12 Sensor base attachment Figure 13 Sensor base installed
Allow the two-component adhesive > 12 h to cure (hand-tight at room temperature after 30 min) before you screw in
the sensor. Keep the parking space closed off until the sensor is installed to prevent damage (such as breaking the
dome) to the sensor base.
1. Installing the sensor
Warning
Defective seals can cause water to get into the sensor and damage it. The functionality of the parking lot
sensor is not guaranteed if it is installed incorrectly.
⇒ Make sure that the sealing rings on the cap and sensor are seated correctly!
⇒ Do not install the sensors when it is raining.
⇒ Do not use damaged components!
⇒ Do not open the sensor housing!
⇒ Only use original replacement parts!
Warning
Risk of explosion
Extreme heat can damage the battery and the sensor.
⇒ Do not expose the sensor to temperatures above 85 °C!
⇒ Do not expose the sensor to open flames!
When using a gas burner (for example, when removing weeds), keep a distance of at least 1.50 m between
the flame and the sensor!

The sensor can be screwed into the base after the adhesive has cured. To simplify insertion, the arrow on the bottom
of the sensor points towards the Bosch logo (see Figure 14 Installing/screwing in the sensor). After inserting the
sensor, it will take approx.
2 minutes until the first measurements are carried out. During this time, the sensor should be completely screwed in to
ensure optimum teaching of the sensor. To tighten it, use the T20 screw and then close the opening with the sensor
sealing cap.
Figure 14 Installing/screwing in the sensor
After the installation of the sensor, the sensor learns about parking changes, which happens in its vicinity. After
approx.
10 parking changes, the sensor is in its taught-in state.

place the parking lot sensor, only the sensor needs to be replaced. To do this, remove the sensor cap and loosen the
T20 screw; then remove the sensor from the sensor base.
INFORMATION:
During operation, a continuous automatic calibration of the parking lot sensor takes place through "parking"
and "exiting parking space'' events.
INFORMATION:
A battery replacement is not intended; instead, the sensor must be replaced.

To completely remove the sensor base from the parking space, it is necessary to use a hammer and chisel to destroy
the adhesive effect by chiseling the sensor base parallel to the parking space surface. As a result, there is no
permanent damage to the parking space.
