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.
We briefly describe the sensor’s operation, which will help you to understand how to use the
Software according to the type of sensor. The sensor is an electronic device for vehicle detection,
and it is composed of four basic elements:
Element
Component
Function
A
Arrow indicator

Radio communication
Thesensor is equippedwith 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.
Sensor’s operation
Three-axis magnetometer
The car detection is performed using a magneto-resistive component. The total value of the
magnitude measured by the sensor results from the sum of the value of the three individual axes
being surveyed.
In the SBPWSIx sensor two thresholds are present: a low and a high threshold. If the sensor is in
a Vacant status (below the low threshold), to change state, the total value of the magnitude must
be greater than the value of the upper threshold.
If the sensor is in Occupied status (above the high threshold), to change state, the total value of
the magnitude must be lower than the value of the low threshold.
All changes that are within the two thresholds will not lead to a change in the state of the sensor.

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.

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. Read carefully the instructions below before performing any operation.
Technical environmental - Pre-requisites
The SBPWSIx sensor must be installed inside a hole made in the existing flooring. Before
starting the work, it is necessary to know the physical characteristics of the flooring, such as
material, thickness of the layer to be drilled, possible presence of underground utilities within
120 mm from the surface.
The SBPWSIx sensor uses three-axis magnetic sensors to detect vehicles and it is therefore
sensitive to electromagnetic fields generated by cable ducts near the sensor. It is advisable to
request a map of electrical utilities before starting work. In the event of any passage of a conduit
near the chosen installation point, it is advisable to modify the installation point.
How to handle the sensor
The sensor is an electronic device, and, like all electronic components, it must not be subjected
to shocks or falls which would damage the internal oscillators and / or interrupt the circuits.

CP3 Outdoor –User manual
14
Preventive precautions for installation
All personnel involved in the installation of the sensor must use appropriate PPE
(Personal protective equipment) in compliance with Legislative Decree no. 9 April
2008, n. 81"Consolidated Law on Health and Safety at Work" (text coordinated with
Legislative Decree 3 August 2009, No. 106).
All personnel involved in the installation of the sensors or must comply with the
recommended limits for lifting and manual transport in compliance with Legislative
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.
How to store the sensor
The sensor is an electronic device made up of an electronic part and a lithium
battery. On some models, a procedure has been implemented to minimize the
consumption of the sensor when it is stored. This feature allows the sensor to be
stored for very long periods without losing battery capacity and without radio
transmissions. Typically, this mode is present on SBPWSI1 sensors, equipped with
Long Range wireless/LoRaWAN®type Radio.
The sensor is equipped with a LiSoCl2 high capacity battery (see the battery details at pag.8).
The battery is equipped with the safety protections required by the regulations, which can
preserve the connected circuits from damage.
The lithium contained in the batteries is highly flammable and could cause small
explosions. Avoid shorting the battery and any contact with liquids.
The storage temperature must not exceed 85°C and must not be less than -40°C. The higher
the storage temperature, the higher will be the self-discharge of the lithium battery. The lithium
battery cannot and should not exceed a temperature of 85°C.

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.
Refer to the www.iata.org website (e.g. webpage) or contact the carrier to obtain all the necessary
information.
The shipment by land or by sea, although falling within the category DGR (Dangerous Goods) is
less restrictive than the air way.

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 haveto 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…).
Laying procedure
Normally, sensor installation operations include the installation of the SBPWSIx sensors and the
numbering of the parking bays. The activities to be performed for the installation of the sensors
are:
•Preparation of the sensor installation site
•Making holes
•Waste material removal (and subsequent disposal)
•Preparation of the sensor installation site
•Parking bay numbering: write down the association between bay position <-> sensor ID
•Sensor installation
•Sensor configuration (i.e. calibration of the sensor magnetic zero, setting of the
communication protocol, etc..)
Site verification
The verification of the site where the sensors will be installed is a very important phase;
in fact, the environmental and physical conditions of the place of installation must be
evaluated to avoid detection problems.
The presence of any electric user drains and cable ductsmust be checked atthe sensor
installation points. The electromagnetic fields generated by the passage of current, in
ducts close to the sensors, can in fact distort the detection.

CP3 Outdoor –User manual

Verification of electric/magnetic fields
Thesensorissensitivetoelectricandmagneticfieldstosuchan extentthatitsplacement
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 ispossible to check the presence of interfering electro-magnetic fields.
Moreover, since the SBPWSI1 sensor works with the ISM band of 868 MHz, a frequency
free to use, the presence of source of disturbances must be checked on site by means
of a spectrum analyser, in order to detect any source of disturbance capable of affecting
the correct communication between sensor and concentrator/network.
Paving and hole
The sensors can be installed in different types of flooring. The installer shall evaluate the proper
solution for making the hole, such as coring, punching or drilling, according to the type of flooring.
Asphalt: the most common condition and the easiest for both installation and maintenance.
When the installation is complete, the highest part of the sensor must be at a height of 15/20
mm lower than the road level. A dept of more than20 mm may limit the radio range of the sensor.
The hole can be made by punching the road surface, using a special tip to be applied to the
pneumatichammerofamedium-smallexcavator(+/-1.5tons).The tipwillallow to make the hole
the exact dimensions necessary for the installation of the sensor.
Once the sensor has been placed and directed towards the reference
concentrator/network/gateway, it must be fixed with sand and then covered with cold asphalt
(15/20 mm approx.).
Porphyry / self-blocking pavers: with this surface it is not possible to use the punching tip. If
the flooring is laid on a soft base (e.g. sand), it is necessary to manually remove the cubes / tiles
until an area compatible with the sensor dimensions is exposed and using a breaker or hand
tools to create the properly sized hole. If the laying base is instead compact (cement), you can
use a core drill to make the hole.
Once the sensor has been placed and directed towards the reference
concentrator/network/gateway, it must be fixed with sand and then covered with cold asphalt
(15/20 mm approx.) or with a porphyry tile or other material, with thickness 10 / 15mm and
adequate size and then fixed with cement.
Cobblestone-stone: As the previous point, but finishing using cold asphalt or pieces of stone
set with cement.
It is not recommended to install the sensors in the presence of non-solid surfaces
(beaten grounds, meadows, etc.).
