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 4G LTE-M cellular connection 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. Figure 1 ITS-950 Base Station Q-Free ITS-950 ParQSense Base station Installation Manual Page 5 of 12 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:

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 6 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.
