SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL Frequently Asked Questions 19 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS GENERAL What types of SENSIT sensors are available and what is the difference? There are 4 different types of SENSIT sensors available: 1 SENSIT IR - Magnetic and optical sensor suitable to be built-into the floor of each parking space. 2 SENSIT IR Flush Mount - Magnetic and optical sensor suitable to be builtinto the floor of each parking space.
SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL Frequently Asked Questions How does the energy efficient Wireless SENSIT Network work? The medium access protocol is based upon time division multiple access (TDMA). Time is divided into time slots, which (Relay) nodes can use to transfer data without having to content for the medium or having to deal with energy wasting collisions of transmissions. After the frame length, which consists of 16 time slots, the (Relay) node again has a period of time reserved for it.
SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL Frequently Asked Questions Normally the earth magnetic field vector is about 500mGauss. This can vary allot from place to place. In order to set the SENSIT sensor to local earth magnetic field we advise to calibrate the sensors.
SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL Frequently Asked Questions Which sensor is making the decision; occupied or free? In most cases the optical sensor is indicating the final status. The algorithm inside the SENSIT sensor decides which type of sensor to trust. Of course you can ignore this and decide for yourself which sensor to use, because the state of the magnetic and the optical sensor is available. What is the detection principal of the optical sensor? The optical sensor is based on IR reflection.
SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL Frequently Asked Questions 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.
