Placing the Sensor
When installing sensors, it is important to investigate what kind of technique is the best in the specific
installation.
In most installations, the lane-mounted sensor will be preferred because of the reduced cost of labour and
material used. In some circumstances the vertical sensor is preferred, but that will be a decision made by
the owner and the architect of the building.
The 45-degree sensor must be mounted in the lane in front of the carpark space.
For best performance it is recommended to mount the 45-degree sensor in height of 2.5 m at the entrance
of the parking space.

Safe detection distance
The Safe detection distance is important to obtain a reliable detection of the car. If the installer does not
obey this information, the sensors might not detect correctly.

The aesthetic point of view must also be taken into consideration when mounting the sensor.
