Replacing/Removing The Sensor - Bosch PLS User Manual

Parking Lot Sensor | PLS
INFORMATION:
After the installation of the sensor, it will take approx. 2 minutes before the first measurements are
carried out. During operation, a continuous automatic calibration of the parking lot sensor takes place
through parking changes (i.e., "parking" and "exiting parking space'' events), which happens in its
vicinity.
The sensor is fully operational only after at least 10 parking events have been fulfilled with passenger
cars or light commercial vehicles.

2.5 Replacing/removing the sensor

In case the sensor core has to be replaced at a later moment in time (for example in case of end-of-life of the battery),
you have to remove the T core cap and loose the T20 screw; then remove the sensor core from the sensor base.
Should the replacement be done due to physical damages to the PLS, please carefully inspect the sensor base for
visible damages prior to installing the replacement sensor core. Replace the whole PLS where required.
The screwing path will show signs of wear after multiple screwings of the core into the base.
Consequently, we strongly recommend to change the whole PLS after three replacement/removing
actions.
INFORMATION:
The battery is not eligible to a stand-alone replacement. At battery end-of-life, the whole sensor core
must be replaced.
To completely remove the PLS from the parking space, while not damaging the ground surface, it is necessary to use
a hammer and chisel to destroy the adhesive effect by chiseling the sensor base parallel to the parking space surface.
If the sensor is not working as expected and investigation is needed to understand the issue, please
contact the BOSCH customer support by email with these elements:
⇒ Device EUI
⇒ log file containing RSSI, SNR, Join requests, debug messages, spreading factor
If physical analysis of the sensor is required, the support team will send you the return procedure.
Do not attempt to open the sensor by yourself, as this device contains a LiSOCl2 battery. Also, this behavior
makes the task harder for our expert team to analyse the problem and, therefore, make the warranty completely void
for the opened sensor core. This implies that there would be no warranty replacement for the opened sensor under
any circumstance.
