 Important Notices
 The electronics inside antennas are extremely sensitive to
electrostatic discharges. Always discharge yourself by touching an
electrostatic discharge device or a ground point before touching
any of the electronics to avoid damaging the circuits.

 Some parts of AM electronics are with high voltage. When power

is on, do not touch metal parts, solder points, PCB radiator or
other non-isolated places.

 All AMS devices should be powered from the mains supplied by

power plants in the region. The power generated by self-owned
generator may result in bad synchronization among systems and
abnormal operation of the systems. Also, the outlet must have
high quality grounding.

 The electricity supplied to the systems shall not be shared with

other electronic or electric loads, e.g. electronic transformers,
neon/spot lights, electrical engines, computers, LCD screens and
cash registers, etc.

² Use independent power supply

All anti-theft devices using 220VAC must have the same circuit of electricity from the
distribution box, and meet the safety grounding requirements
² Power adapter
The power adapter along with main board is the standard one, and one adapter can only
support one board.
² Power wires
The mains power cord is never allowed to be tied to the output DC line, nor is it allowed to
wrap the output DC line around the adapter body.

There are 2 RX loops on main board, we can use a 2-

core wire to connect loop 1 or loop 2 to the slaver board
on corresponding port. 1 main board can connects 2
slaver boards at most. The antenna which equipped with
slaver board can only detect the inner side of the aisle,
and outside can only detect 10-20cm. The slaver board
can be used for end antenna which suffers strong
interference from the wall.

Attention: When Waveform is opened, the antennas will enter into

“Check” status and transmission will stop. At this moment, the
antennas will not be able to detect tags. Press close the Waveform
window to start the normal detection of the antennas.
 Experience
Rx Parameters
When adjusting threshold and feature values, better to open the
Waveform. Based on the Waveform displays, preset threshold and feature values
to be higher than the actual noise level. Then the false alarm possibility of the
device will be very low. Cooperating with settings of “Noise Suppression” and
“No. of Hit”, the noise immunity will be increased a lot.

If there was big metal frame, big metal object, cable in roll and other objects,
which might create passive tag-similar signal, closing to the device antennas and
the LC circuit formed by the objects could not be destroyed (cut or short-
circuited), Rx Delay shall be adjusted to longer to increase stability and reduce
false alarm risk.

Background Noise
If there was stable passive tag-similar noise, which source could not be found
or was found but could not be eliminated, select “Enable” in BKG Noise. Then
the device would start to “learn” the characteristics of the noise and remember it.
The environmental noise graph after processing will become as below.
 Experience

In this graph, the device already studied and remembered the

characteristics of the tag-similar noise. The device will not have false alarm
again. When there is a new tag entering the detection range, the device will
be triggered as usual as without the tag-similar noise.

The signal window displays the signal value of the
antenna in the current
state. Normally, the peak value of the signal is less
than 110. The signal
value can be controlled by adjusting the receiving
gain value to achieve a
stable working state.

TX switch: when the antenna gives a

continuous alarm, the source
of the alarm signal can be determined by
turning off the transmitting signal.
 Noise suppression

Click [OFF] on the right side as [ON] to start reading

the ambient noise. When reading, the status light is
red, and the detector alarm light is always on.

Normally, it will be closed manually after 200-300

seconds of opening, and the longest reading is 1800
seconds of automatic closing.

When the network is set to STA mode and the

network has been successfully connected, remote
connection can be realized. Refer to Appendix B for
the network settings of the detector.

• The Supply of the system should be independent.

8m max.
• The distance from the antennas to the power
supply must no exceed the 8m.

move the plug towards the antenna

•Use shielded cable 2 x 0,5mm2 minimum

•Do not drive vertical cables in parallel to the antennas at less

than 1,5m. Avoid wiring around door frames.
 Installation
Wiring considerations
• Do not live extra cable inside the antennas (30 cm is enough)

• The cables near the system must not be recoiled in loops

• Do not use the EAS conduits to drive other cables

• Install the power supply in a safe and easily accessible place
 Installation
• The fixation to the ground must be as firm as possible. to avoid possible
rocking
of the antena

• Use M8 (or M10) anchor rods, nuts and metal washers (4 per
antenna) Dowels and screws are not recommended

• Drill the holes to place the

rods Fill holes with chemical
fixing.
Insert anchor bolts in the
holes with the fixing. Turn the
anchor bolts while inserting
them
Remove the surplus of
chemical fixing from the floor

• Screw the antennas.

 Coils in frame

• The system must always be connected to the same outlet where it was left on
the day of installation, if possible without sharing the line with any other device.

• Near the system there should be no labels less than ¾ parts of the aisle that we
have created between antennas. The systems have a residual side detection that
we must respect. If necessary we could use false labels or other technology.

• It is advisable that the lighting of the store is in good condition, otherwise, this
could cause resonances or unwanted noise in the system, which would lead to its
malfunction.

• Beware of LED transformers !!! We must always observe if there is any

modification in the store with respect to the day of installation, such as
modification of furniture, new appliances, changes in lighting, etc.

Avoiding interferences: Remove noise sources
Currently, the use of LED lighting that are out of CE regulation is being extended.The
switching power supplies used for LED lighting is a very common source of noise
If turning off the switch mode power supply the interference disappears, change the
power supply by a good one
 Installation
Avoiding interferences: Remove resonant structures
If some metallic structure is behaving like a tag, it will be necessary to destroy that
tag:
• Picking up the coils of cables
• Cutting the coil or
• Short-circuiting the capacitor
 Installation
Avoiding interferences: Shielding
If the noise is produced by a active source, it will be necessary to shield the emitting
elements using ferrite core filters, aluminium foil and metallic mesh
 Installation
Avoiding interferences:
Filtering
Very often, the noise is emitted by cables. In this cases it
can be reduced by using ferrite core filters.

Each turn of the cable around the ferrite introduces an

extra resistance to the signals of 8,2 MHz

Avoiding interferences:
Desinchronizing
If there are neighboring systems operating at the same sweep frequency, they can
interfere with each other. It will be necessary to desynchronize them.
