The Wisey barrier, in numbers

A folding parking barrier bolted into the surface and connected over mobile network. This page is the reference for owners, managers, installers and procurement: specification, site requirements, installation procedure and fault handling.

What a site needs

Checked during the survey. If a site fails on one point we usually have a workaround — the solar variant covers most power problems.

  • A clearly defined single parking space, 2,3 m wide or more.
  • Asphalt, concrete or paving stone able to take four M10 anchors.
  • Mobile signal of at least −105 dBm at ground level (we measure it on the survey).
  • Mains socket within 15 m, or unobstructed south-facing sky for the solar variant.
  • Legal right to install a fixed object — owner or authorised representative.
  • Drainage that does not leave the base plate standing in water.
Not suitable for
  • Gravel, grass or unbound surfaces
  • Spaces used by vehicles over 3,5 t without a reinforced variant
  • Underground levels with no mobile coverage and no cabling route
  • Shared undivided areas where no single space can be marked

For these we assess camera and sensor based access instead — see the roadmap on About Wisey.

Installation, step by step

Carried out by a certified Wisey installer, organised by the local parking manager. One space takes about three hours end to end.

  1. 01

    Site survey

    Installer & manager

    A local manager measures the space, checks the surface and the mobile signal, and photographs the access route. 30–45 minutes, no work carried out.

  2. 02

    Anchoring

    Installer & manager

    The base plate is positioned and fixed with four M10 chemical anchors. Concrete cure time is two hours before load.

  3. 03

    Power and pairing

    Installer & manager

    Mains is connected by a certified electrician, or the solar module is mounted. The device is paired to the platform and its ID bound to the space.

  4. 04

    Commissioning test

    Installer & manager

    Ten full raise/lower cycles, signal test, battery-only test and LED verification. Results are written into the device record.

  5. 05

    Handover

    Installer & manager

    The owner gets app control, the manager gets device monitoring. The space can be published from the owner platform.

Faults and what they mean

LED white, will not lower

No active paid session, or the space is blocked by the owner.

Check the session in the app; owners check the block state in the platform.

LED red

Obstruction detected during folding, or motor fault.

Clear the space and retry once. If it persists the manager is alerted automatically.

Device offline

Loss of mobile coverage or drained battery.

BLE fallback from the app opens it locally; the manager receives an alert within 15 minutes.

Every device reports battery, signal and fault state continuously. Managers see alerts before drivers do, and the platform keeps the full event history per space.

Need drawings, certificates or an API spec?

We share the datasheet, CE documentation, anchor drawings and the platform API reference with owners, managers and procurement teams on request.
