About Parkifi
Founded in 2014 by Ryan Sullivan and Rishi Malik, Parkifi is revolutionizing the world of parking. Our
mission is to reduce parking challenges using real-time data. Whether it's a parking owner or operator
looking to increase their top line revenue, create more efficient processes and better understand their lot,
or a person driving around for 15 minutes looking for a parking spot, Parkifi provides the solution. We
use sensors to track data across all the parking spots you operate to gain valuable insights on trends and
patterns.
By gathering, filtering and sharing this data in real time, we help you manage parking far more
efficiently – and revolutionize the way they monetize it. Our solutions work equally well for parking
garages, surface lots and municipal parking.
Some of the key parking frustrations we address include:
City traffic congestion
Harmful emissions
Wasted fuel
Lost time looking for parking
Enforcement inefficiencies
Lost revenue
Parkifi is headquartered in Denver, CO.
Sensor v2 User Manual
Instructions:
Chalk Lines:
Measure half the depth of a spot in from the top of the spot and mark. Do the same on the other
end of the line
Chalk a line between the two ends
Go through each spot and mark the midpoint on the chalk line to find the center of the spot
where the sensor will go
Surface Lot (Recessed Installation):
Use a 4.25" core drill bit and drill 1.25" deep into the center of the spot
Use a chipping gun to chip out the inside of the core drilled hole
Use a vacuum or gloves to clear out dust/debris from the hole
Put in self leveling (SL) adhesive around the edge of the hole and on the bottom of the sensor
Put the sensor in the hole so the top is level with the ground
Default orientation is with the Parkifi 'P' facing up in the spot at 12 o'clock
If the antenna is in the direction of the top or bottom of the 'P', rotate the sensor 90 degrees so
that the top of the 'P' is now at 3 o'clock
Put adhesive around the outside of the hole to fill in the gaps around the sensor. Put adhesive
around the top of the sensor to cover the four screws
Go to Installifi > Zones > View Spots and run base_recalibration on the spot. Wait 3 minutes
then check to see that the Sensor Calibrated At time is populated
Go to Installifi > Zones > View Spots and run cloud_recalibration on the spot. Verify that the
Cloud Calibration Start Time is populated and wait 7 minutes. After those 7 minutes are up the
spot is complete
Garage (Surface Mounted Installation):
Lay all sensors into the center of the spots as determined by your chalk lines
Go to Installifi > Zones > View Spots and run base_recalibration on all sensors in the zone.
Running a base_recal allows the sensors to start reporting magnetometer data
Go to each sensor page and check the Sensor History Series Data. Hover over the furthest-right
point to see the X, Y and Z magnetometer values
Check that all values are less than the absolute value of 1200 (less than 1200 or greater
than -1200)
If any values are outside of that threshold, move the sensor a couple inches to the left or
right in the spot, wait a couple minutes and check values again. Repeat until you find a
point near the center of the space that has good magnetometer readings (less than
absolute value 1200)
We prefer to move sensors left and right in the spot to keep the aeshetic so that if
someone looked down the line of sensors they'd all be in line
Put high viscosity (HV) adhesive on the bottom of the sensor and stick it in the spot
Default orientation is with the Parkifi 'P' facing up in the spot at 12 o'clock
If the antenna is in the direction of the top or bottom of the 'P', rotate the sensor 90
degrees so that the top of the 'P' is now at 3 o'clock
Put high viscosity (HV) adhesive around the outside of the ring. Put the ring down around the
sensor and stand on it
Go to Installifi > Zones > View Spots and run base_recalibration on the spot. Wait 3 minutes
then check to see that the Sensor Calibrated At time is populated
Go to Installifi > Zones > View Spots and run cloud_recalibration on the spot. Verify that the
Cloud Calibration Start Time is populated and wait 7 minutes. After those 7 minutes are up the
spot is complete
Operation Description
Bluetooth LE Function Description
The Bluetooth LE transceiver includes PLL, VCO, LNA, PA, modulator and demodulator. The
Bluetooth baseband signal processor incorporates hardware engines performs frequency hopping, error
correcting, whitening, encrypting, data packet assembling and de-assembling. Bluetooth LE function is fully
compliant with Bluetooth specification 4.0. Bluetooth basic rate use GFSK modulation, where an
instantaneous data rate of 1 Mbit/s is possible.
433MHz RF Function Description
For 433MHz RF function operation, devices communicate using near filed EM wave with 433MHz
frequency. Its transmission data rate is set as 9600 bps for type of standards. The significant advantages of
433MHz wireless signal penetration is strong, able to spread further. 433MHz RF function generally used in
some device which request less data transfer.
Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
