2 PREPARATION OF THE INSTALLATION
Q-Free recommends the procedure described in this section for preparation of the installation.
There are tasks that must be prepared and ready before the onsite installation work can be initiated. This
is important to economize time when the equipment is to be installed at a “live” site. All parts, equipment,
and cabling must be procured and available on-site prior to arrival on-site. All local laws and regulations
must be followed.
2.1 Overview
The ITS-950 ParQSense Base Station is part of the latest development in on/off-street parking monitoring
from Q-Free. Harnessing more than thirty years of experience in design of microwave radios, makes this
development unique in the market. The ITS-950 ParQSense Base Station communicates to the ITS-420
ParQSense Standard Outdoor Sensors which combine multiple sensing technologies ensuring maximum
detection accuracy. Typical applications are on/off-street monitoring for public, private lots/spaces, Smart
City Initiatives, etc.
The Q-Free ITS-950 ParQSense Base Station is of slimline design to be installed onto lighting poles,
building roof-tops/sides, etc. The installation process is easy and expected to take about 30 minutes for
each ITS-950 ParQSense Base Station.
Connection to the ParQSense Software Engine is easy with:
Wired Ethernet
Wireless via 3G cellular connection (project specific SIM card required)
3 MECHANICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The physical dimensions of the Q-Free ITS-950 ParQSense Base Station are:
Length: 350 mm/13.8 inch
Depth: 300 mm/ 11.8 inch
Height: 75 mm/3 inches
Weight: 2,5 kg/ 5.5 lbs.

3.1 System communication
The ITS-950 ParQSense Base Station communicates with the ITS-420 Standard ParQSense Outdoor
Sensors via radio link.
Figure 2 Communication overview ITS-420 ParQSense Sensors
3.2 Cabling pathways and conduit
The main communication method between the ITS-950 ParQSense Base Station and the backend
software is the wired Ethernet. Prior to installation on site the following must be complete:
Source and provide PoE 100Base-TX PD Max 13W device for powering the ITS-950 ParQSense
Base Station over Ethernet cable.
Install PoE device within vicinity of the ITS-950 ParQSense Base Station installation location.
Provide WAN and establish communication with ISP
Provide and install outdoor rated Cat5 cable and pathway from WAN location to PoE device.
Provide and install outdoor rated Cat5 cable and pathway from PoE device to proposed ITS-950
ParQSense Base Station location.
The ITS-950 ParQSense Base Stations may also be connected via cellular communication. The ITS-950
ParQSense Base Stations are equipped with a SIM card slot for mobile SIM card insertion. Details on this
communication method will be provided in the next revision to this document.
3.3 Mounting location
The ITS-950 ParQSense Base Station can be pole mounted or wall mounted. Prior to going on site to
install the ITS-950 ParQSense Base Station it should be determined where the base station should be
installed based on a site survey and direction by a Q-Free representative. In addition, the following should
also be complete prior to ITS-950 ParQSense Base Station installation:
Verify proposed location has the capability to mount the ITS-950 ParQSense Base Station

Q-Free ITS-950 ParQSense Base station Installation Manual Page 7 of 12
Verify cable pathways and lengths of cables to ITS-950 ParQSense Base Station location.
Attaching the pole mount bracket to the ITS-950 ParQSense Base Station
Mounting the pole mount bracket with ITS-950 ParQSense Base Station to the chosen pole
location
Connecting the POE cable for power and communication.
3.4 Back end system communication
The ITS-950 ParQSense Base Station will connect to the provided hard wired network connection. The
following should be complete prior to installing the Base station on site:
Provide and verify network connectivity at the PoE device location and at the proposed ITS-950
ParQSense Base Station installation location.
The ITS-950 ParQSense Base Station can optionally use cellular for connection and communication to
the back end. If this communication method is specified for project the following should be complete prior
to installing the Base station on site:
Verify cellular provider network has acceptable signal in the proposed ITS-950 ParQSense Base
Station installation location.
Details will be provided the next revision to this document.
3.5 Safety guidelines
Always wear proper eye protection when required by local regulations. Always read and follow all
instructions and safety precautions provided by manufacturer of all equipment. Verify safe procedures with
local authorities. Always be aware and follow safe installation procedures on “live” roads. Check local
licensing and documentation requirements prior to any installation. Follow all applicable local laws and
regulations.
