8 Combining the RF Checkout Deactivator

In case RF deactivators need to be installed in combination with the RF mono system,

the RF Checkout Deactivator must be used. The RF Checkout Deactivator is especially

designed for use with the RF Mono system. When integrated into the field bus, this

deactivator will properly synchronize with the RF Mono system, resulting in best

performance.

8.1 Integration in barcode scanners

The RF Checkout Deactivator is supplied without an antenna plate. When used in a

checkout environment with barcode scanners, most of these scanners nowadays already

have a deactivation wire integrated in the scanner. This deactivation wire can be

connected to the RF Checkout Deactivator. If such a deactivation wire is not available,

then it must be integrated by you. If you should still require deactivator antenna plates,

then these are optionally available.

8.2 Power supply

The RF Checkout Deactivator is supplied without a power supply, because for

synchronization purposes it must be integrated into the field bus that also contains the RF

Mono antennas. The RF Checkout Deactivator will then receive its power supply through

the UTP cable from the RF Mono antennas. It will also forward the power supply to the

next connected device.

8.3 Field bus connections

Figure 38 shows a top view of a checkout environment with single and back-to-back

checkouts. Four RF Mono antennas and seven RF Checkout Deactivators are installed.

The field bus connections between the RF Mono antennas and the RF Checkout

Deactivators are represented by the dashed blue line.
