INSTALL THE PLACEPOD
PlacePod can be installed in-ground or surface-mounted, depending upon the model which was
purchased. Please refer to the Installation Guide for details on each type of installation. Each PlacePod
has a unique ID which can be found on the bottom of the sensor. PNI recommends that you record each
sensor ID and match it to the Parking Space ID before installing it into the parking space. Customers
generally want to associate a sensor with a physical location. PNI’s Parking Application allows this
information to be input as part of the provisioning process. Third-party Parking Applications will also
generally allow this, although in some systems this information is configured directly into the Network
Service.

CALIBRATE THE PLACEPOD
The PlacePod must be calibrated before it is able to properly detect vehicle parking events. Once the
PlacePod is installed in the parking space, ensure that the space is free of any non-permanent ferrous
objects such as toolboxes, installation tools, and other equipment. Also, ensure that there are no vehi-
cles in any adjacent parking spaces.
