CA6/7 Anchor Kit
SP14/7 Spike Kit
This kit contains 7 metric concrete
anchors, special M8 hex head bolts,
washers and a wrench.
This kit contains 7 spikes, special
M8 hex head bolts, washers and a
wrench. The
spikes were
developed to
mount the
pods in a
relatively soft
surface such
as macadam
or asphalt.
8: Maintenance
The most important maintenance is
to clear the immediate area of the
MySpot 200 of debris of any kind.
Observe polarity!! Reversing the
polarity of some or all the batteries
will damage the radio receiver, or
may cause the radio not to work at
all.
Never drive over the barrier when
obstructions are visible under the
barrier.
Replacing PowerPod Batteries
The batteries should provide 2 to 3
years of life under normal operating
conditions. When the batteries approach their end-of-life, MySpot 200
will become “sluggish” – it will delay
the response to the remote control
commands by about 5 seconds.
This is an intentional reminder that
the batteries need replacing.
If the batteries are not replaced before they are completely exhausted
after 50 additional operations, the
barrier will accept one last command
and will stay down .
To replace the
batteries, open the
cover
of
the
PowerPod and pull
out the 5 batteries.
It may require that
you cut the straps
that hold the batteries — these
were provided for shipping only.
Replace with fresh D alkaline batteries.
Designated Parking Corp
Replacing remote control
batteries
When the batteries in the HT remote
control approach their end-of-life, the
HT will signal the condition by delaying the transmission of a command.
The green indicator on the remote
control will flash for a few seconds,
before the normal pattern of turning
solid for 2 seconds (while it sends
the command) takes place.
To replace the batteries, open the
two small Philips screws on the back
of the unit. Replace the 2 Lithium
button batteries with CR2016 batteries. Observe polarity! Check operation of the indicator before closing. If
OK, close with the two screws.
V17 page 20
The anchors are 10 mm in diameter
and 60mm long. They are suitable
for fixing the plates to any concrete
— reinforced hard concrete or software cement. They are not suitable
for fixing the plates to asphalt, macadam and similarly soft aggregates.
To install, drill 10mm holes in the
surface, 65 mm deep. Push the
anchor until its head is flush with the
surface, all the while keeping the
bolt in the anchor. Make sure that
no debris enter the thread after the
anchor has been placed in the holes,
so do the cleaning before you remove the bolt.
FRACTIONAL ANCHORS
DPC can provide special US specification anchors that measure 5/8”
diameter by 1 5/8” long. And accept
5/16” bolts. The kit (MA7) is available from DPC.
www.dp-corp.com
Designated Parking Corp
It is strongly
r e c o m mended that
the spikes be
used in conjunction with adhesive such as DPC
EPX1. An industrial grade premium
adhesive with polyurethane can be
used instead of the EPX1
The bolt shown in the picture is used
to protect the head of the spike during hammering, and is removed after
the spike is pushed flush with the
surface.
The spike should
be hammered into
a pre-drilled 9/16”
or 5/8” (15mm or
16mm) hole drilled
vertically, using a
heavy hammer. A
9 lbs (4.5KG) hammer works best.
Note that the
spikes require a
14” (36 cm) clearance below the
surface.

Where to position
MySpot?
2: Site Preparation
Gravel, Sand
Mounting the pods directly to
gravel or sand is not recommended, as neither the bolts nor
the adhesive will provide adequate grip. A suitable concrete
footing needs to be poured for
each of the pods.
Asphalt
The installer needs to check the
integrity of the asphalt or macadam surface to make sure that
the depth and strength are adequate to support mounting anchors. In some cases, the use of
the optional adhesive EPX1 may
be the better way to mount the
pods. It is not recommended to
use the concrete anchors on asphalt.
Special asphalt anchors are available from Designated Parking (SP14). These are 35 cm (14”) long
spikes
Front or Middle?
MySpot 200 can be positioned in two
distinct locations within the parking
space – in the middle or at the front.
Installation in the front is allowed
only in private driveways.
Middle mounting means that the
barrier will stay under the car while
the car is parked
in
the
space.
The advantages
of
middlemounting are:
•
Barrier is
further removed from
dirt and debris pushed from the main access lane
•
Cars making J turns are less
likely to bump into the raised
barrier accidentally
•
The barrier is protected from
inclement weather while the car
is parked over it
•
TOOLS: Unless you use adhesive,
you will need a power drill and a 10
mm (13/32”) masonry drill bit for setting the concrete anchors into the
roadway to mount the two pods.
WARNING: Locate the PowerPod
so that persons getting in or out
of the car will not trip on the pod.
Designated Parking Corp
Cars entering adjacent lanes are
less likely to accidentally hit the
barrier
When placing the barrier in the middle of the stall, the center line of the
device should be about 1.5 meters (5
feet) from the rear of the stall
(dimension “Y” in the drawing
above).
Designated Parking Corp. recommends installing the barrier in the
middle of the space.

Closing the PowerPod Cover
1.
Carefully clean the base from
any particles.
2.
Make sure that the emergency
key tang fits in the hole of the
slide latch. Failure to observe
this precaution will bend the key
and possibly damage the
mechanism.
3.
Check the integrity of the silicone seal which is glued inside
the cover. It should be continuous without deformation or cuts.
4.
Make
sure
that the surfaces of the 4
bushings in
the
base
which hold the inserts are covered with Teflon or similar water
-resistant grease.

gasket seal.
8.
9.
For outdoor
applications, run a
pressure
test on the
PowerPod
to
make
sure that it
is properly
sealed and
thus water
proof. Use
DPC PT1 pressure tester.
Attach the PowerPod to the
mounting plate using the metal
washers under the head of the
bolts. Failure to use the washers will deform the plastic inserts
and allow water to seep into the
PowerPod.

1 or 2-button modes
To place the HT remote control in the
2-button mode (where a sequence of
2 keys is required before a command
is sent out):
•
Press and hold buttons 1 & 2
simultaneously.
•
After 5 seconds, the indicator on
the HT will start flashing. Release the buttons. Make sure
that the indicator continues to
flash.
Use the security socket to remove the 4 security bolts that
attach the PowerPod to the
mounting plate.
Using
the K20
8 mm
Allen
wrench,
remove
the
plastic
ins erts
that attach the cover to the
base.
Lift the cover gently about 2“
and disconnect the antenna
cable by pulling its RCA plug
from the socket.
Warning! Pulling the cover without disconnecting the antenna
cable will damage the antenna
cable or the electronic module
in the base of the PowerPod.
•
Press button 2 and hold until the
flashing indicator turns off.
To place the HT in the 1-button
mode, follow the sequence above
but as the last step press and hold
button 1.
TEST: Press any button once. IF
the indicator responds immediately,
you are in 1-button mode.
Designated Parking Corp
Warning! The PowerPod is
sealed against water using white
Teflon grease. Make sure not to
touch or remove this grease
else the housing will no longer
be water resistant.
V17 page 18
www.dp-corp.com
Front mounting means that the car
drives in and parks behind the barrier. This mode of installation is suitable only to single-car driveways.
A benefit of front mounting is that the
barrier can to be used as a theft
deterrent, raising it with the car
parked behind it. The barrier should
be installed as close to the front limit
of the space as possible, to allow the
barrier to rise behind even a large
vehicle.
Installing the barrier in the front in
multi-car parking areas will dramatically increase the likelihood
that the barrier will be bumped
into by passing vehicles, and is
thus strongly discouraged.
Right Align
The Barrier should
be installed on the
right side of the
space. Mount the
pods so that the
edge of the barrier
touches the edge
of the space. This way you are assured that at least one wheel will
drive over the barrier.
Designated Parking recommends
mounting the barrier on the right
hand side, as shown in the drawing
above. The reason is that when installed as shown, the right hand
wheel of the car will drive over the
barrier between the two pods. This
minimizes the “speed bump” effect
on the car and makes for a smoother
entry and exit.
Designated Parking Corp
The forces applied to the barrier
when the car drives over it create a
force that is
trying to lift the
corner of the
PowerPod
shown with the
red arrow on
the above picture. Make sure
to secure this corner above all others
to the surface, and use all 4 bolts to
attach the plate to the ground and
the pod to the plate.
Likewise, make sure that when
mounting the IdlePod plate IP to the
ground, 3 bolts are used. When securing the IdlePod to its plate, place
the insert K13 between the plate
and the earls of the IdlePod. Use
three bolts K11, a star washer K14
and the flat washer K8. Installing the
3rd bolt requires opening the cover
of the IdlePod.
Standing Water
MySpot 200 is sealed to prevent
water from entering the unit. The
PowerPod should not be exposed for
extended period of time to standing
water or ice. To prevent such occurrence, select a spot for the pod that
Beware of low ground
slightly raised above the surface, or
add a plate to raise it.
V17 page 7
www.dp-corp.com
Barrier Clearance
The front (leading) edge of the barrier must be able to travel 3” [8 cm]
(from its Unlocked position) before it
hits the ground. A rise in the roadway anywhere along the contact
point between the barrier and the
ground will interfere with this full
range of motion.
To check
the surface,
place the
barrier upside-down
on
the
Beware of uneven surface
ground.
Observe
any height irregularities. If the roadway is lower in between the two ends
of the barrier, there is no problem. If
the roadway at even one point is 7
mm (¼”) higher, move the barrier
towards the front or the rear of the
space until a better location is found.
If the rise in the middle is unavoidable, you may have to raise one or
both pods using a suitable plastic or
metal plate. The use of wood or
plywood is not recommended as it
will rot.
Designated Parking Corp
3: Assemble Barrier
6.
7.
Prior to the mounting of MySpot 200,
the barrier needs to be assembled to
complete the assembly of the device.
This will self-align the two pods.
1. Make sure that the stub on the
PowerPod is in the Locked Up
position. (See inset for instructions how to manually bring the
shaft to the Locked Up position if
necessary.)
2. Rotate the stub on the IdlePod
until it too is in the Locked up
position.
3. Slide the barrier over the stub of
the PowerPod. The grooved
surface of the barrier should be
facing back, away from the entrance to the parking space.
The reflective yellow label on the
front of the barrier should face
the entrance to the parking
space.
4. Make sure that the holes on the
barrier line up with the threaded
holes in the stub.
5. S e c u r e
the barrier
to the stub
using 2
washers
K14 and 2
short sec u r i t y
bolts K6.
6. Repeat the process for the IdlePod side and secure the barrier
to the stub using washers K14
and security bolts K6 .

Adding Remote controls
Once the first remote control has
been added (“programmed” or
“paired”) to the authorized list in the
radio receiver in the PowerPod per
section 6, additional remote controls
(up to a total of 15) can be programmed.
Designated Parking Corp
8.
Make sure that any barrier in the
vicinity that is still unprogrammed
is
placed in the
Unlocked position.
Place the barrier
in the Locked
Up
position.
Prop the barrier with your leg so
that the barrier will not fall when
activated.
Hold the authorized remote control (“A”) in one hand, and the
new one (“B”) in the other.
The sequence as explained below is A-A-B-A.
Press the previously programmed button(s) on the authorized A remote control. The
motor will whirl. The green indicator on the HT remote control
will stay lit for 2 seconds. If the
remote control is set to a 2button mode, press the two keys
in sequence to get the motor to
whirl.
Two seconds after the motor
stopped, press the authorized
key A again. The motor should
sound again.
Two seconds after the motor
stopped, press the desired button(s) on the new (“B”) remote
control. The green indicator on
it will turn on for 2 seconds. In

7: Programming the Radio
Erase Memory (Boot)
The only way to delete remote controls is to erase the programming in
the unit. This is also the case when
the only authorized remote control
has been lost, and a replacement
remote control needs to be added.
This erasure is known as a “boot”.
5.
There are two ways to boot the controller — through a switch inside the
PowerPod, and through a command
sequence from an authorized HT
remote control. The latter solution is
preferred as it does not require opening the PowerPod. However, if an
authorized remote control is not
available or is not working properly, it
can not be used.

Aligning the IP and PP is critical
The barrier rotates around the bearing surfaces on the two pods. The
force that brings the barrier down to
allow access to the space comes
from gravity pulling the barrier. Excessive friction along the travel of the
barrier will prevent proper operation
of the device.
The two pods need to be reasonably
aligned with each other, so that the
barrier is free to rotate. Alignment
means that the two pods face each
other so that an imaginary line extending from the shaft of the PowerPod will line up abeam with the
opening in the IdlePod. This alignment also applies to the height – a
significant (more than 1 inch) height
difference between the two pods will
hamper the free motion of the barrier.
If the PowerPod mounting area is not
level, the use of a shim under the
PowerPod or its mounting plate may
be required to level it with the IdlePod.
MySpot 200 is now ready for attachment to the roadway.

Why 3 buttons?
Each button on the HT
remote control generates an individual code.
That allows one remote
control to control 3 individual MySpot 200.
You may use any button for your
MySpot, or you can program all 3 for
the same unit.
1 or 2 Button Code?
The HT is shipped in the mode
where only one button is required to
be activated (see above). For applications where more than 3 adjacent
barriers need to be controlled, the
HT remote control can be set to a
two-button mode. Up to 9 adjacent
barriers can individually be controlled. A command is sent only
after 2 buttons are sent (e.g. 2-1).

leveling the bump on the roadway.
Press the button on the HT remote control; the barrier should

NOTE: Unless you are experienced with the installation of MySpot 200, you
may have to move the mounting plates somewhat once the two pods are attached to it, to better align the pods. For this reason it is suggested that you
only hand tighten the bolts first.
What to do if an anchor rotates
in its seat:
If the hole is only slightly oversize,
use a sharp point to hold the anchor against the wall of the hole
and gently tighten the bolt. At
some point, the expanding anchor
will grip the walls of the hole. Turn
the bolt another ½ turn to make
sure the anchor is set.
If the hole is too large, you may
need to fill it with concrete mix or
epoxy, and then re-drill once the
mixture has hardened. Inserting
the anchor into the liquid epoxy
may fill the threads and prevent
the anchor from accepting the
bolts. If the bolt is placed while the
filler is not yet hardened, it may not
be able to be withdrawn later.
USE THREAD LOCKING
To prevent the mounting
bolts from loosening up, it
is strongly recommended
that a thread locking liquid
(such as Loctite Blue) be
used on the thread of the
Security bolts as they are
used. Loose bolts increase the stress on the
remaining bolts and can
cause metal failure on the
mounting ears of the IdlePod or failure of the
threads in the plates..
When you feel sure that the plates are perfectly aligned, tighten the 7 bolts securely.
