LIBRARY SECURITY PEDESTAL 2
3 System Overview
3.1 Features
Being a standalone solution, TAGSYS Security Gates do not need to be linked to the library
database, and can still operate when the Integrated Library System (ILS) is down or under
maintenance. The security gate does not require additional equipment to operate.
The L-SP2 pedestal includes new functionalities as:
- multi-protocol features which makes it compatible with C220, C320, C270 (Philips I-
code), C370 (Philips SLI) chips
- one block system electronic embedded into the pedestal
- mechanical compatibility with Smarto L122 EAS system
- one people counter
This is a low-cost security system as it only requires a single RFID tag for both anti-theft and
identification purposes.
3.2 Brief L-SP2 Description
The components of the L-SP2 EAS system are contained within the L-SP2 pedestal. At least two
pedestals are required for each EAS gate. A set of pedestals is known as a gate and may consist
of several pedestals Please see
section 4, “ Installation “ for more information.
The L-SP2 are built in a one frame:
- the electronics unit located on the bottom of the pedestal which manage the whole
system
A L-SP2 Electronics unit is used to control each pedestal. This electronics unit
generates the RF signal transmitted by the antennas and picks up the reply from the
TAGSYS RFID tag. If a TAGSYS RFID tag with an active theft bit (ON) is detected,
the electronics unit will activate the alarm of the LED/buzzer board on the pedestal.
- These antennas are sensitive receivers used to detect the status of the theft bit in
the TAGSYS RFID tag as it passes through the EAS gate.
- a warning visual and audible device (LED/Buzzer board)
- a people counter equipped with an IR sensor having two functionalities:
1. detect crossing people (counter)
2. to be able to limit the alarm release only if a person is detected (this functionality
can be deactivated using the L-SP2 Configuration Utility)
To operate, the L-SP2 will only need a power supply cable.
