Frequently Asked Questions
102/118
19.3.1 CALIBRATION
What is the maximum range of the optical sensor?
The IR reflection depends very much on the reflection coefficient of surface it
radiates at. Ceilings of over 3 meters (9 feet) are seen by the optical sensor. You can
set the sensitivity of the optical sensor when applying the sensors for indoor
applications. See chapter 17.5.3 for explanation about the calibration of the IR
sensor.
Can the optical sensor been used indoors?
The optical sensor can be used indoors, for this the IR transmitting power needs to
be adjusted (calibrated) to avoid the unit from detecting the ceiling. See chapter
17.5.3 for explanation about the calibration of the IR sensor.

What filling material should I use?
The best way to fix the SENSIT sensors into the floor of the parking space is using
rapid mortar (eg.TM 5R). Ensure to fixate the SENSIT sensors during curing time, to
avoid them from floating in the mortar. When you want to use another brand of
rapid mortal please sent us the datasheet so we can analyze this and advise you on
use.
Is a SENSIT IR snow plough resistant?
When using the SENSIT IR in environments with snowy weather conditions, we
advise to set a tolerance on the snow plough of 2 cm [0.78 in] to ensure the top of
the sensor is not damaged by the snow plough. The SENSIT IR is not fully snow
plough resistant; however it can withstand a few incidental hits.
When you need a better snow plough resistant SENSIT sensor use the SENSIT Flush
Mount at the cost of a bit lower accuracy or the SENSIT IR Flush with the same
accuracy. Still proper adjusted snow blade and extra cautious is needed, see also the
Disclaimer.

Disclaimer:
Please note that improperly
adjusted snow plows or
other alike vehicles will
cause critical or terminal
damage to roadways,
parking surfaces and
sensors. When electronic
devices like SENSIT sensors
are installed please be
extra cautious. Every effort
should be made to properly
adjust the snow plow blade
to appropriate settings and
heights so as not to cause
damage to these
items. Snow plows with
appropriate plastic or
rubber cutting edge scrapes
are advised to be used in
these installations.
The product warranty on
SENSIT sensors voids if
scraping damage is visible
on the SENSIT sensor
surface.
