After reading this article, you’ll be able to:

  • install Bosch Parking Lot Sensor PLS

  • configure Bosch Parking Lot Sensor PLS


Quality Assurance is done throughout the installation project, since there are different steps in the project:

Quality Assurance during installation

See Motion sensor installationguide

Quality Assurance during configuration

See Tabs configuration guideguide

Quality Assurance after configuration

Below verifications should be written down, signed and added to the project documentation.

  1. Review installation location

  2. ‪Visual inspection (to be done by someone who didn’t install the sensors)

    1. Check that sensors are placed according to sensor placement guides; not hindered by cables, pipes, light fixtures or other obstructions

    2. Verification they are installed in their planned locations, with the correct view direction.

 2.1. Walk around through the building – high level check
  1. ‪Check where the sensors are installed

  2. ‪If desks or meeting rooms are occupied

    • Compare occupied workplaces and meeting rooms with the occupancy on the floorplan

    • Count employees and compare to info on live floorplan

    • Note that in some cases people may have just left the room or desk but color did not yet shift to green

Quality Assurance for Workplace installation

 2.2. Verify the view direction of installed sensor aligns with the required view direction

1 Sensor with cap per desk should be installed differently depending on desk mode:

  • Normal workplace: vertical/ downwards + perpendicular to table (short side sensor parallel to long side table)

  • Height adjustable desk: the longest face of the sensor is parallel to the front of the desk and the lens facing downwards (long side sensor parallel to long side table)

 4. Comprehensive test for occupancy sensors (live floorplan: occupancy, utilization)
  1. ‪The comprehensive test must be performed for at least 1 meeting room and 1 common workplace area (if set up)

  2. ‪Take a couple of pictures of the sensor placement and the surroundings

    • Make sure to take a detailed picture of the sensor as well as a picture of the whole desk/room & environment

    • This will make it easier to understanding the setting in case later someone, who doesn’t know the site, needs to check the pictures as well

 4.1. Comprehensive test for Open spaces (workplaces, informal areas)
  1. Sit down at a desk and check if occupancy is triggered

  2. In case of headcount sensors: check if utilization is being correctly measured

  3. Check if sensor does not trigger another room on live floorplan (check if every sensor is correctly mapped with location)

  4. Check Live Floorplan for white spots

    • This means the sensor is not linked

    • Do you have the correct sensor IDs? If not sure, take a picture of the sensor ID

Quality Assurance for Meeting Room installation

 2.2. Verify the view direction of installed sensor aligns with the required view direction

Sensor(s) without cap should be installed on the ceiling, in the middle of the room: perpendicular to room (long side sensor parallel to short side room)

 4.2. Comprehensive test for Closed rooms (meeting rooms, booths, ...)
  1. Walk in test

    1. Enter a meeting room, without sitting on a chair

    2. Check if occupancy, and in case of headcount sensors utilization (people count), is triggered & correctly measured on live floorplan

  2. Sit down test

    1. In the meeting room, sit on a chair and check if other chairs are also triggered

  3. If not possible to enter the room due to presence of people: check floorplan for occupancy and in case of headcount sensors, check for people count

  4. Check if sensor does not trigger another room on floorplan (check if every sensor is correctly mapped with location)

  5. Check for white spots: this means the sensor is not linked

    1. Do you have the correct sensor IDs? If not sure, take a picture of the sensor ID

  6. Check if meeting rooms, if not measured per work place, are completely colored

Quality Assurance for ‪installation in ‪Rooms under 4x4m

 2.2. Verify the view direction of installed sensor aligns with the required view direction

Sensor without cap should be installed on the wall next to the door (at the entrance of the room), facing inward. If the door opens to the inside, there might be a reflection on that door. It might be advisable to then place the sensor behind the door (assuming people close the door to start using this space – and thereby trigger the sensor).
