Installation requirements v1.2 Page 9 of 65
4.3 Control Unit
The ARGUS AM Floor System consists of a Control Unit to which two external coils must
be connected. See chapter 10.4 for more details.
1. The Control Unit needs to be placed next to the entrance in such a way that store
personnel can see the visual alarm and hear the audio alarm notifications.
2. Antenna cables must be connected properly to the designated antenna
connectors on the Control Unit.
Risk of electric shock! Always switch the power supply off before
connecting or disconnecting antenna cables to the controller board.
3. Use conduits or cable trays to run the cables up or down the wall into the Control
Unit.
4.4 Power supply
The ARGUS AM Floor System is powered with an external power supply. See chapter 9
for more details.
1. Install the power supply at least 1m away from the antennas.
2. Do not run the power supply cable under or over the antennas. Keep the cable at
least 20 cm away from the antennas.
4.5 Post installation information
Instruct store personnel about the following after the system has been installed and is fully
functional:
1. Larger metal objects may not be placed above the antennas.
2. Secured merchandise may not be placed within 2 m distance of the antennas.
4.6 Implanted medical devices
This ARGUS AM Floor System complies with all safety standards. However, visitors with
implanted electronic medical devices may ask if the store has an anti-theft system and if
so, its location. To help these people, do the following:
1. Visitors should not linger close to the antennas, but only pass over them while
entering/leaving the store.
2. Install the antennas as close as possible near the entrance/exit, so visitors are
encouraged to pass over them quickly while entering or leaving the store. This
reduces the time they are in the actual energy field.
3. Make sure that no fixtures, equipment, amusements and other signage that can
attract visitors to them is placed close to the antennas.
