The sensor is based on ultrasonic measurement, it matches the received ultrasonic echo with an reference echo, that was stored while commissioning, and sends the result to the zone controller over a serial interface. After taking other factors into consideration, the zone controllers are able to drive the red/green display in the sensor. Up to 32 sensors can be connected parallel to another on the same supply and each sensor can be addressed separately. The address is adjusted by a switch in the sensor. If communications to the zone controller are disrupted the sensor can continue to function independently. The sensor measures and displays the current state of the parking space. This means there is an emergency backup if the zone controllers break down
