What should I pay attention to when installing a remote-controlled parking lock?

When installing a remote control parking lock, attention must be paid to details in many aspects, including pre-installation preparation, installation process operation, post-installation testing, and maintenance, to ensure safe and effective use. The following are specific key points:

I. Pre-installation Preparation

1. Confirm parking space conditions

Ground material: Priority should be given to solid ground such as cement and asphalt. If it is a flower brick or colored brick (thickness ≥ 5 cm), otherwise, a cement base (area matching the size of the parking lock) must be poured in advance.

Ground flatness: Ensure that the installation area is free of obvious depressions, protrusions, or cracks to avoid affecting the lifting or fixing stability of the parking lock.

Space dimensions: Measure the length and width of the parking space to ensure that the installation of the parking lock does not affect the entry and exit of vehicles, and maintains a distance of at least 30 cm from surrounding obstacles (such as walls and pillars).

2. Choose installation location

Standard position: It is recommended to install it in the inner 1/3 of the middle of the parking space entrance (approximately 1.5 meters from the front end of the parking space) to ensure that the parking lock can effectively block unauthorized vehicles when the vehicle enters, while not affecting the parking of your own vehicle.

Avoid pipes/lines: Avoid installation in areas with underground water pipes, wires, cables, etc., to prevent damage to pre-buried facilities during drilling.

3. Check product accessories

Check whether the parking lock accessories are complete (such as the main unit, remote control, expansion bolts, installation screws, instructions, etc.), and check whether the appearance of the main unit is damaged and whether the button/remote control function is normal.

If it is a rechargeable parking lock, confirm the battery power or charging status in advance to ensure normal use after installation.

II. Installation Process Precautions

1. Installation method selection

Drilling and fixing (recommended):

Use an electric drill to drill holes at the marked positions on the ground (the hole diameter matches the expansion bolt, usually 8-10 mm), and the hole depth should be ≥5 cm to ensure that the expansion bolt is completely embedded.

Insert the expansion bolt, align the base of the parking lock with the hole, and tighten the screws to ensure that the base is in close contact with the ground without shaking.

Drill-free installation (only applicable to temporary or lightweight ground):

Use strong adhesive (such as AB glue, structural glue) or magnetic suction base for fixing, but the stability is poor, and it is easy to be displaced by external forces, it is not recommended for long-term use.

2. Wiring and antenna processing

If the parking lock has a charging interface or signal line (such as an intelligent networked model), the wiring route should be planned in advance to avoid the line being exposed, crushed, or worn.

Ensure that the remote control antenna (if any) is exposed to the ground, or avoid metal obstructions during installation to avoid affecting signal reception.

3. Safe operation

During installation, avoid placing your fingers near the lock rod lifting and lowering area to prevent pinching.

When using electric drills and other tools, wear safety glasses, keep the ground dry, and prevent electric shock or slipping.

III. Post-installation Testing and Debugging

1. Functional testing

Remote control response: Within a range of 5-10 meters from the parking lock, press the "raise/lower" button on the remote control multiple times to observe whether the lock rod moves synchronously and whether the signal is sensitive (no delay or lag).

Collision test: Simulate a vehicle approaching the parking lock at a low speed (operate cautiously), observe whether the lock rod triggers the anti-collision function (such as automatic descent or alarm), and avoid hard collisions that damage the equipment.

Automatic return: Some parking locks have an automatic locking function after the vehicle leaves. Test whether the lock rod rises on time (usually delayed by 10-30 seconds) after the vehicle leaves.

2. Stability check

Gently push the parking lock by hand to check whether the base is firm and there is no looseness or shaking; after the lock rod is raised, ensure that it is perpendicular to the ground and there is no tilt.

Observe whether the lock rod lifting and lowering process is smooth, without any jamming, abnormal noise, or jamming. If there are any abnormalities, adjust the screws or contact after-sales service in time.

3. Marking and warning

Paste "Occupied" signs or reflective stickers in a conspicuous position near the parking lock. At night, it can improve visibility and avoid other vehicles from accidentally colliding.

Remind family members or colleagues to pay attention to the location of the parking lock to avoid tripping when walking or cycling.

IV. Long-term Use and Maintenance Suggestions

Regular cleaning: Wipe the surface of the parking lock with a damp cloth every month to remove dust, dirt, and debris, and prevent foreign objects from entering the lock rod gap and affecting lifting and lowering.

Battery maintenance: Rechargeable parking locks should check the battery power every 3-6 months to avoid long-term power failure damaging the battery; models using dry batteries should replace the batteries regularly (recommended once a year).

Wiring inspection: Check the wiring for aging and damage every six months, and check whether the interface is loose to ensure electrical safety.

Winter protection: In cold northern areas in winter, lubricating oil (such as butter) can be applied to the moving parts of the lock rod to prevent freezing or rust.

Abnormal handling: If the lock rod cannot be lifted or lowered, the remote control fails, or an abnormal alarm occurs, the power should be cut off immediately and the manufacturer should be contacted for repair. Do not disassemble it yourself.

V. Other Precautions

Communication with property/owners' committee: Before installing a parking lock in the community, you need to obtain the consent of the property or owners' committee in advance to avoid disputes caused by violating management regulations.

Compliance with laws and regulations: It is forbidden to privately install parking locks on public roads or non-owned parking spaces, otherwise, it may violate the "Road Traffic Safety Law" and face penalties.

Child Safety: Educate children to stay away from parking space locks. Prevent them from touching the lock rod or remote control while playing to avoid accidental injuries.

By following the above steps, you can ensure that the remote-controlled parking space lock is installed correctly and used safely, maximizing its effectiveness in preventing occupancy and protecting parking spaces.
