SENSORMATIC AMS-1080 (01) PDF DOCUMENT

The parts required to install the SENSORMATIC AMS-1080 system are:

• AMS-1080 Controller

• AMS-1080 Controller Mounting Kit 0352-0203-01 (optional)

• AMS-1080 Antenna(s)

• AMS-1080 Antenna Counter Mounting Kit(s) 0352-0199-01 or Pole Mounting Kit(s) 0352-0198-01

• ZKRANGER-DG Ranger antenna kits, as required (purchase separately).

Please note the following during installation:

• Because customer requirements dictate the placement of system components, your Sensormatic representative will supply this information separately.

• If this product was installed in a European Union or European Free Trade Association member state, please give the Declaration of Conformity included with this product to the manager or user. By law, this information must be provided to the user.

• The controller is cooled by a fan that is factory set to 240Vac. If using 120Vac, remove the cover from the controller and change fan jumpers to 120Vac. See label inside the controller for jumper locations.

• Install the AMS-1080 antenna at least 5cm (2in) from metal surfaces.

The SENSORMATIC AMS-1080 detector deters theft by activating an alarm when it detects the unique response of an active Ultra-Max hard plastic tag or disposable label.

To detect a tag/label, the AMS-1080 antenna(s) connected to the controller emit a magnetic field close to the tag/label’s natural frequency, causing it to vibrate or “ring.” When the field is removed, energy in the tag/label dissipates, causing an exponential ring down.

The antenna(s), and ferrite (Ranger) antennas if used, pick up these signals and send them to the controller. The controller processes them to determine if they are indicative of ring down. If they are, the controller activates an audio/visual alarm indicator at the top of the AMS-1080 antenna that detected the tag/label.

When an AMS-1080 antenna is positioned between two adjacent checkout lanes, the visual alarm indicator can be set to indicate the aisle where the active tag was detected.

The SENSORMATIC AMS-1080 controller features the following:

• Independent Tx and Rx connections that support two transmitters and four receivers

• Supports up to two noise canceling coils

• Controls pedestal alarms

• Has “ac line synchronization” and “tag too close” functions.

• Supports wired transmitter synchronization

• Is adjusted either on-site or remotely using a laptop computer and AMS-1080 service configurator software

• Built-in mounting flange enables it to mount vertically to a wall or inside the checkout counter. The controller can also rest on a shelf.

The SENSORMATIC AMS-1080 antenna features the following:

• Emits the detection field and receives the tag/label signal

• Figure “O” and Figure “8” transmit coils in the antenna combine to produce a field that alternates between the top and bottom of the antenna. These coils can also be set for maximum field in the top of the antenna only or the bottom of the antenna only. Maximum operating current is 15A

• Mounts to the side of a wall or counter, or to a railing post using hardware supplied

• Has an alarm lamp for each side of the antenna

• Has a “transmitter on” lamp that lights when the transmitter is on

• Has two hardwired cables that connect to the controller. Cable length is 7.6m (25ft). DO NOT CUT! Shorter cables can reduce operating performance.

The Ranger Antenna features are as follows:

• Only receives the tag/label signal

• Mounts to a wall or counter opposite the AMS-1080 antenna

• These ferrite antennas connect together as a pair and have a hardwired cable that connects to a “Auxiliary Receive” connector on the controller.

When using noise coils with the SENSORMATIC AMS-1080, note the following:

• A noise coil is used to cancel specific noise interfering with detector operation.

• Noise coils only connect to the Coil 1 input of the Aux A or Aux B connectors on the controller.

• To accept a noise coil, the Coil 1 part of each auxiliary input must be reconfigured to noise canceling mode using the service configurator.

• By moving a noise coil around while monitoring power levels on the service configurator, a location can be found where noise cancellation is best. This is where the coil is likely to be installed.

• The location for noise coil installation must be practical as well as yield satisfactory results.

Auto synchronization occurs during power up or system reset. The outcome depends on the environment:

• No transmitters detected: During initialization, if the controller determines no EAS transmitters are nearby, the transmitter delay is set to zero if this is the initial power on. Otherwise, it is set to the value stored in the controller.

• Transmitters detected and aligned: If nearby transmitters are correctly aligned, the transmitter delay is calculated and stored in the controller for reference.

• Transmitters detected and not aligned: If transmitters are not aligned, the transmitter delay is set to zero for the first power on, or set according to the value stored in the controller if not the initial power on.

• Too much ambient noise: If ambient noise prevents locating nearby EAS controllers and it’s the first power on, transmitter delay is set to zero. If it’s not the first power on, the zero crossing delay stored in the controller is used instead.

Using the service configurator, the “tag-too-close” function can be selected to help prevent false alarms. When this function is active, the red lamp on top of the antenna blinks twice every four seconds for one minute if the system detects one or more stationary tags or labels too close to it. The lamp turns off when these items are moved away from the system.

Tagged items must be kept at least 1.5m (5ft) away from all sides of the antenna.

The service configurator software for the SENSORMATIC AMS-1080 is required to set up and troubleshoot the controller. It enables you to:

• Set antenna configurations

• Customize detection for each antenna

• Monitor transmit and noise levels from each antenna

• Monitor transmit current from each antenna

• Customize alarm setup

• Turn off transmitters

• Monitor temperature inside the controller

• Download new software features/updates to flash memory

• Provide a system error report.

An LED system status indicator on the controller indicates the following:

• Green flashing: System is on and okay.

• Yellow flashing: Performance downgraded; service is recommended.

• Red flashing: A fault is detected (call for service). The number of red flashes identifies a digit in a two-digit alert code. The start of an alert code is indicated by a long LED interval, followed by the flashes for the first digit, a short delay, and then the flashes for the second digit.

Basic setup requires the following equipment:

• AMS-1080 controller

• AMS-1080 antennas with counter mount or pole mount hardware

• Ranger antennas (optional)

• Hard tag (non-deactivateable Ultra-Max tag)

• Ultra-Max low energy labels.

Advanced setup requires the following additional equipment:

• Laptop with Windows® 95, 98, NT, 2000, or XP operating software

• RS-232 Ultra-Max programming cable

• Service configurator software.

WARNING! Do not install this device where highly combustible or explosive products are stored or used.

CAUTIONS:

• Each AMS-1080 antenna has a silver label on one of its bottom side panels. This label must face the counter for single aisle installations, or “Aisle A1 or B1” for dual-aisle installations.

• When mounting the controller, power cord, connectors and fan must face down.

• Antennas furthest from the controller require a trench to route cables to the controller.

• Keep the surface of the AMS-1080 antenna at least 5cm (2in) from the surface of a metal-sided counter.

• Cables are 7.6m (25ft). DO NOT CUT! Shorter cables can reduce operating performance.

Tools Required: Tape measure and level, pencil/marker, knife, electric drill and bits (5.5mm masonry, 3.2mm, 6.4mm, 9.5mm), Phillips-head screwdriver, hammer and nail set, hand vacuum, pliers or 9.5mm wrench, Wiremold (optional), and trenching tool.

Procedure:

1. A label is on a bottom side panel of the AMS-1080 antenna. The label must face the counter.

2. Attach antenna clamps. Position clamps in their designated spaces on the antenna. Press the adhesive side of the provided right and left spacers against each clamp. Ensure the antenna is at least 5cm (2in) from metal surfaces; add more spacers if needed.

3. Mark mounting-screw hole locations. Build the mounting base assembly and, with it in position, mark hole locations in the counter for clamp screws and on the floor for the two anchors that will secure the mounting base.

4. Drill mounting holes. For the floor, use a 5.5mm masonry bit to drill two holes 54mm (2-1/8in) deep. Drill a 16mm access hole in the counter for cables. Drill holes for clamp screws (3.2mm pilot holes may be needed for sheet metal).

5. Install the mounting base assembly. Insert anchors into the floor holes and strike with a hammer and nail set to secure them. Secure the mounting base assembly to the anchors with the washer and nut.

6. Set the antenna assembly onto the mounting base and ensure it is level.

7. Route antenna cables through the hole to the controller. Connect the cables. DO NOT CUT CABLES!

8. Secure the clamps to the wall or counter using the supplied screws.

9. If used, install Ranger antennas; otherwise, proceed to System Setup.

Tools Required: Two 3.2mm Allen wrench hex drivers, tape measure, pencil/marker, electric drill and bits (5.5mm and 9.5mm), Phillips-head screwdriver, hand vacuum, and trenching tool.

Procedure:

1. Saw a 6.4mm (1/4in) wide, 19mm (3/4in) deep trench into the floor between the railing post and the counter where the controller will be located.

2. With the label on the bottom side of the antenna facing Aisle A1 or B1, and the antenna parallel to traffic with its bottom 17.8cm (7in) from the floor, drill a 16mm (5/8in) cable access hole in the railing post. Do not drill through the other side of the post.

3. Attach the pole bracket to the antenna. Remove the M5x16 screw/washer/nut from the pole bracket and loosen the strap. Slide the bracket down the post, aligning the holes. Spread the bracket, insert it into the antenna while routing cables into the access hole, down the post, and into the trench. Reattach the M5x16 hardware and tighten. Tighten the strap.

4. Remove the backing from the appliqué and affix it over the recess in the pole bracket to hide the hardware.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to install a second pole bracket about 15.2cm (6in) above the first.

6. Route antenna cables through the trench to the controller. Connect the cables. DO NOT CUT CABLES!

7. Install Ranger antennas.

Procedure:

1. Set the controller on a shelf or mount it to a vertical surface using the four self-drilling screws supplied. The fan must face down. WARNING! The vertical surface must be able to support 13.3kg (29.4 lbs).

2. Referring to the device connections diagram, attach connectors to the cables used for the installation.

3. Plug the cables into the appropriate connectors on the controller.

CAUTION: Fan voltage is factory set for 240Vac. If using 120Vac, remove the cover from the controller and change fan jumpers to 120Vac. See the label inside the controller for jumper locations.

Procedure:

1. Choose a power cord for the country of use. Power cords are available in various lengths.

2. Plug in the power cord. The controller automatically senses the voltage (100-120Vac or 200-240Vac). No adjustments are required.

WARNING – RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! The AC power cord may carry 120Vac or 240Vac.

CAUTION: When using a power cord, a socket-outlet must be installed near the controller and in an easily accessible location.

CAUTION: A 10A, 2-pole, ganged disconnect device, which also provides short circuit and overload protection, and has a minimum 3mm open circuit clearance, in accordance with the National Electric Code and applicable local codes must be installed by a licensed electrician at a location readily accessible to the equipment.
