User's Manual

• Ensure good detection of all subsystems (EAS System, Booster Bag/Foil Lined Bag
System, Magnet and Jammer Detector) before mounting pedestals to the ground.
Spacing between pedestals should be from 5 to 6 ft and keeping appropriate distance
between pedestals and doors. Power cables, computers, mirrors, and other big metal
objects may affect the system operation so it is advisable to keep the pedestals away
from these materials as much as possible.
• Bolt the pedestals to the floor and install the cables. Pull cords should be provided in the
conduit/wire trench from each pedestal location to adjacent pedestals, and from each
pedestal to the control box location.
• Conduit/wire trench from each pedestal will carry four (4) CAT5 low voltage signal and
sync cables; the cables should originate from each pedestal and terminate near the
dedicated line outlets. All pedestals can share a common conduit/wire trench, but it
should be big enough to accommodate the increased number of cables.
Set up Procedure
• Check for correct connections of all the cables before turning the EAS System power
ON.
• Establish the connection between the Control Box and Computer (or laptop) using a
USB Dongle.
• Load the AM Application Software; then, connect the system with software by searching
for an appropriate COM Port.
• Set up the configuration using the software; select a proper system configuration from 8
available options (from the drop down menu) that you wish to install and confirm it by
clicking ‘Set Config’. According to the chosen configuration, a picture with description of
individual transmit and receive pedestal will be displayed on the computer screen.
• Check the correct tuning of TX antennas and adjust the jumpers of the tuning capacitor
board “TX_CAPS” for fine-tuning of TX loop into resonance, if necessary.
• Factory setting of TX1 and TX2 power is 200, which is the maximum specified limit for
the transmitter power.
• Check for good synchronization with other systems (window “Sync”) from surroundings.
If interference is seen, use “Auto Sychro” to synchronize the system with surrounding
AM Systems automatically. To activate this function, it is necessary to start loading the
signals from surroundings (use ‘Automatic Read’ and ‘Hold Maximum’ set up) and wait
for at least twenty patterns to be loaded, and then click “Auto Synchro”.
