Introduction AMS-9040 Instructor Guide AMS-9040 Controller is the latest generation, 4-channel design. New electronics will expand the number of digital antennas that can be connected to a single controller to four. Worldwide compatible* Replaces today’s two-controller configurations with a single controller (at a comparable cost). Move some antenna unique electronics from the controller to the antenna capacitor boards (reduces controller cost). * Note - with some restrictions in certain countries Revision C, April Sensormatic Technical Training

Introduction Digital Antennas
AMS-9040 Instructor Guide Digital Antennas Same antennas with new capacitor tuning boards Each antenna now has an address selection switch which identifies its unique address The alarm circuits are driven from the pedestal Remaining Functions are the same as the D216 antennas Assisted Transmitter Tuning Service port at antennas Antenna ID (Identifies Cap Board Type) Key Switch to control the Alarms and the Tx All antennas are now on a bus (RS485), therefore each antenna has to have a unique address. Antennas are addressed 0 through 7. Antenna alarms are driven from the cap board. Not from the The 9040 does not have to wait for alarms to stop before it can pick a tag It communicates to the antenna and tells it to alarm and continues on looking for new tags. Antenna IDs Each cap board type has a unique ID. This tells the controller the type of antenna that attached. (ProMax, FloorMax, DoorMax, etc) (The D216 did this also) Revision C, April Sensormatic Technical Training

Introduction New Capacitor Board Advantages
AMS-9040 Instructor Guide New Capacitor Board Advantages Independent alarm control of antennas Zone Identification now possible Supports different message per pedestal Software on antennas now flash upgradeable Higher noise immunity & higher data rates Longer alarm messages with higher dynamic range Note - New pedestal is incompatible with existing digital antennas Capacitor Board. Through how you set up zones, the 9040 controls which alarms are activated Zones Rule for zones are: If any antenna in a zone detects a tag, all alarm devices in the zone are activated Note - An alarm device can be assigned to more than one zone An antenna with a 9040 cap board cannot be attached to a D216 Controller. An antenna with a D216 cap board cannot be attached to a 9040 controller If a cap board has an rotary address selection switch, it is a 9040 cap board!!

9040 Controller Description
AMS-9040 Instructor Guide 9040 Transmitters - Simultaneous Transmit of Two Antennas (4 Coils) - Antennas A & C are multiplexed and Antennas B & D are multiplexed (Similar to M4K) - 2 Antennas Antennas A and B will transmit simultaneously - 4 Antennas Antennas A and B will transmit simultaneously, then antennas C and D will transmit simultaneously - 3 Antennas A and B transmit simultaneously, then B and C will transmit simultaneously Transmitter limitation Antennas A and C can never transmit simultaneously. Neither can B and D Two Pedestals System will transmit A and B simultaneously Three Pedestals System will transmit A and B simultaneously, then it will transmit B and C simultaneously. (This is why B should be in the center) Four Pedestals System will transmit A and B simultaneously, then it will transmit C and D simultaneously. It will never transmit B and C simultaneously when using four pedestals This is why maximum distance between B and C is limited to 8 ft. (2.4m) non-European European use is 2.1m between B and C with four pedestals (Refer to pages 6 and 7 of the planning guide for all dimensions) The 9040 will only build two sequences. The Engineering Sequence Table screen can be used to check any configuration. (shown later) Revision C, April Sensormatic Technical Training
18
9040 Controller Description
AMS-9040 Instructor Guide 9040 Receivers: The 9040 has eight Rx Channels In normal Rx Configuration (phase flipping), one pedestal utilizes one Rx Channel. If “nulling” or “coil 1-2” configuration is selected, the pedestal will utilize two Rx Channels. Therefore, if you have Aux receivers or noise canceling coils associated with Pedestals A and B, you will want to connect the Rx-only antennas to Aux C and/or Aux D, rather than to Aux A and/or Aux B If you use Aux A and B, It functions, but the system will be slowed down Receiver Limitations Eight Antennas, eight receive channels One antenna uses one receive channel, as long as the upper coil signal and the lower coil signal is combined. Such as with “Aiding”, “Fig-8”, or flipping. If an antenna is placed in “nulling” or “coil 1-2”, the antenna will then require two receive channels With four antennas this is no problem as long as there is two from the top and two from the bottom Hook antennas up so the receiver load is balanced. (or don’t use nulling or coil 1-2) If you run out of receive channels, performance is greatly degraded. (ugly) Revision C, April Sensormatic Technical Training

9040 Controller Description
AMS-9040 Instructor Guide 9040 Controller Description Antenna Addressing The antenna addresses range from 0 to 7. The antenna cap board address must be set to match the connector that its attached to. Ex. The cap board that is attached TX/RX A, must be set to address 0 Duplicate address are not allowed The 9040 can support up to eight addressable antennas If more than four are used, two Comm Cables can be terminated to a single Comm port. Transceiver antennas are addressed 0 – 3 Receive-only antennas are addressed 4 – 7 If a TxRx cable is plugged into P4, that antenna becomes Antenna C and the address selection switch on the cap board must be set to “2” A digital ProMax antenna can be attached to P27. This requires its address to be “4”. The antenna will be receive only, but we can also control the alarms in it and use its face counter if it has one. Peripheral devices are addressed 8 – 15. The AMC-1060 digital remote alarm is the first addressable peripheral device that we’ve come out with The address switch in it is set to 0 or 1, but it has the high order bit forced on, so to the 9040, the address becomes 8 for the first one and 9 for the second one.

ProMax Cap Board Description
AMS-9040 Instructor Guide Assisted Tuning is like D216, except only one coil is tuned at a time If DS1 and DS2 are on, set Bottom coil jumper to correspond to Tuning LEDs then Press Button If DS1 and DS3 are on, set Top coil jumpers to correspond to Tuning LEDs then press button Repeat until Tx Off LED remains off Each cap board type has the same LEDs Note – If the address selection switches are set wrong, the controller will stop the wrong antenna and you be moving jumpers for one antenna and the 9040 will be measuring current for a different antenna If the controller sees low current on one of the TxRx connectors, it will address that antenna over the RS485 network using the address required for that TxRx port, but if if a different antenna has that address set in the selection switch, that is the antenna it will stop. You will be tuning the wrong antenna. If the address is set incorrectly to an address for an antenna that is not connected, the controller will attempt to tune an antenna that doesn’t exist. It thinks its there because an antenna responded to the address, but there is no current on the coils. Revision C, April Sensormatic Technical Training

Pedestal Tuning Turn off power pack
AMS-9040 Instructor Guide Pedestal Tuning The antenna is shipped with the jumpers set to default settings that are acceptable for most installations. However, the antenna may require tuning to adjust for conditions at the installation site. To tune the pedestal, do the following: Turn off power pack Make sure P10(in all Digital 4 antennas) is removed when the pedestal connected to AMS-9040 controller Access the capacitor board in the enclosure Make sure that the jumpers are set to defaults. Make sure addresses are set correctly Revision C, April Sensormatic Technical Training

Pedestal Tuning Turn On power pack
AMS-9040 Instructor Guide Pedestal Tuning Turn On power pack Beginning with Antenna A, check the green Tx Off LED on the capacitor board for each antenna. If the green Tx Off LED is off, the antenna is tuned. If the green Tx Off LED is on, the antenna needs tuning. The antenna is tuned by changing jumper settings on the capacitor board. The controller assists tuning by lighting LED's to indicate the correct jumper settings. Revision C, April Sensormatic Technical Training

42
AMS-9040 Instructor Guide Pedestal Tuning Change the jumpers on the capacitor board to the settings indicated by the yellow LED's on the capacitor board. If a yellow jumper LED is on, place the corresponding jumper in the “In” (1-2) position. If a yellow jumper LED is off, place the corresponding jumper in the “Out” (2-3) position. WARNING—RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! The green Tx Off LED on the capacitor board must be ON before changing jumpers. It indicates there are no high voltages on the board. Revision C, April Sensormatic Technical Training
43
AMS-9040 Instructor Guide Pedestal Tuning Press the check tuning button on the capacitor board and return to previous step and change jumpers again to match LED's After repeating these two steps several times, the antenna should be tuned with all yellow LED's off except DS3 will be flashing one second on and one second off to indicate normal operation. After repeating step 1 and 2 eight times the yellow LED's flash five times, this mean the pedestal did not tuned to the max current and pedestal cannot be tuned. Turn off the power pack and check cable connections and antenna coil connections Repeat the above tuning procedures to all the antennas The second bullet is what will happen if you have a bad connection or is you have addresses set wrong Revision C, April Sensormatic Technical Training

Example Configurations
AMS-9040 Instructor Guide Example Configurations Dual (1or 2 Zones) Split (1, 2, or 3 Zones) Tx/Rx A Tx/Rx B Zone 1 Door 1 Tx/Rx C Zone 2 Dual Split These zones have a maximum distance of 9 feet between pedestals Pedestals can be combined to form zones or each pedestal can be a zone by itself In the example Dual system, if either pedestal detects a tag, both will alarm because they are in the same zone In the split system, tags detected in Zone 1 will cause pedestals A and B to alarm and tags detected in Zone 2 will cause pedestal B and C to alarm Pedestal B is in both zones. If pedestal B detects a tag, the system will attempt to determine which side of B the tag is in. It dos this by comparing signals on A and C. If antenna A has a larger signal than C, than the system will assume the tag is to the left of B and it will alarm zone 1’s alarms. Likewise, if antenna C has a larger signal than A, than the system will assume the tag is to the right of B and it will alarm zone 2’s alarms How well this works is determined on how even the noises levels are on A and C. Unbalanced noise levels will unbalance the logical center of the exit and it will favor one side or the other. Revision C, April Sensormatic Technical Training

European Configurations
AMS-9040 Instructor Guide European Configurations Pedestals Dual (1 or 2 Zones) Split (1, 2, or 3 Zones) Tx/Rx A Tx/Rx B Zone 1 Door 1 Tx/Rx C Zone 2 Dual Split All zones in these examples are a maximum distance of 2.4meters between pedestals Pedestals can be combined to form zones or each pedestal can be a zone by itself In the example Dual system, if either pedestal detects a tag, both will alarm because they are in the same zone In the split system, tags detected in Zone 1 will cause pedestals A and B to alarm and tags detected in Zone 2 will cause pedestal B and C to alarm Pedestal B is in both zones. If pedestal B detects a tag, the system will attempt to determine which side of B the tag is in. It dos this by comparing signals on A and C. If antenna A has a larger signal than C, than the system will assume the tag is to the left of B and it will alarm zone 1’s alarms. Likewise, if antenna C has a larger signal than A, than the system will assume the tag is to the right of B and it will alarm zone 2’s alarms How well this works is determined on how even the noises levels are on A and C. Unbalanced noise levels will unbalance the logical center of the exit and it will favor one side or the other. Revision C, April Sensormatic Technical Training

AMS-9040 Instructor Guide European Configurations FloorMax Antennas (1, 2, 3, or 4 antennas allowed) If the controller sees an odd number of FloorMax antennas, it will fire the transmitter for the odd numbered antenna in Fig-8 configuration only. Must be installed in sequence (A-D) across exit To meet regulatory requirements, adjacent antennas must transmit simultaneously and with apposing polarities With two Antennas, A and B always fire simultaneously. Antennas B must be wired out of phase with A. With three antennas, A and B fire simultaneously, then C will fire by itself, but in Fig-8 only With four antennas, A and B fire simultaneously, then C and D fire simultaneously. Antenna B must be wired with opposing polarities to A Antenna D must be wired with opposing polarities to C The 9040 only does this “odd number firing by itself” when a FloorMax Cap board is attached and sensed Revision C, April Sensormatic Technical Training

System Noise Average screen
AMS-9040 Instructor Guide System Noise Average screen Displays the tag window and noise average window data One Screen for each Doorway Avg. Noise Tag Threshold Receiver Polarity Aiding Flipping Figure 8 Coil 1-2 Nulling This screen provides a view of all antennas on a per doorway basis. It shows what noise levels and thresholds levels are for each polarity configured. The lower the noise, the lower the threshold, and thus the better the detection. Thresholds should run 15dB above the noise average in the tag window. This is achieved with the sensitivity adjustment. (next screen) Receiver polarities are different ways to configure the antenna coil signals You know “Aiding” and “Figure-8”. Both of these combine the two signals. Either algebraically adding or subtracting the two signals. “Flipping” does both aiding and fig-8 “Coil 1-2” leaves both coils as individual signals. Does not combine them “Nulling” uses another coil as reference, similar to a noise coil If you choose the same antenna as reference, it uses the bottom coil as reference to cancel noise from the top coil. It also uses the top coil as reference to cancel noise from the bottom coil If you choose another antenna, it uses the top coil in that antenna as reference to cancel noise from the top coil of this antenna and same for the bottom coils It does not effect receivers in the antenna chosen as reference Revision C, April Sensormatic Technical Training

System Noise Average screen
AMS-9040 Instructor Guide System Noise Average screen (Continued) Detector Active Tag Ferrite Tag Tag Too Close Active tags and ferrite tags require modification to the “Q” detection criteria The Q criteria involves the slope of the tag ring down If the store uses these tags you want to check the appropriate one on If tag too close is check on and a stationary label or tag is too close to a pedestal, that pedestal only will go into tag too close mode. Indicated by the alarm LEDs blinking twice every 5 seconds (no audio) It will return to normal, one minute after the removal of the tag or label Other pedestals will continue to pick tags as normal. Effects only the pedestal that is seeing the stationary tag or label. This is similar to ring down canceller, except this doesn’t alarm when the tag or label is moved Revision C, April Sensormatic Technical Training

Individual Noise Averages
AMS-9040 Instructor Guide Individual Noise Averages Detailed look at each antenna Noise Avg. Detection Criteria Polarity All Receivers Receiver Controls Ringdown Canceller Min Threshold Sensitivity Adj Rx Gain Enable AGC, Low Gain, 10,20, or 30dB Notch Sequence Before or after Ringdown Canceller This screen looks at the tag and noise window for one signal at a time. Criteria - This signal has to turn all checked criteria green before an alarm is triggered. If a system is not picking very good, put in a tag and see which criteria are not being met. Demod Phase and Demod Amp are the two most difficult criteria to achieve. Uncheck these if you have to, but be careful. You risk false alarms when you uncheck anything In this example, if you uncheck anything, it only effects this signal from this antenna. This is on a per signal basis unless you check “all receivers” Polarity - Polarity select which signal to display. Aiding, Figure-8, Coil 1, Coil2, etc. Ringdown Canceller – Checking this causes the detector to stop alarming on a stationary tag. If the tag is moved, the system will immediately alarm. Min Threshold – This value is the lowest value that the threshold can ever become. The system can never adjust it below this value. This only becomes effective when noise levels go very low. This would not be pertinent unless noise levels get more than 15 dB below this value In this example, the threshold can never adjust down below 21 dB. Revision C, April Sensormatic Technical Training

Individual Noise Averages
AMS-9040 Instructor Guide Individual Noise Averages Receiver Controls (Continued) Ringdown Canceller Min Threshold Sensitivity Adj Rx Gain Enable AGC, Low Gain, 10,20, or 30dB Notch Sequence Before or after Ringdown Canceller Sensitivity Adjustment This is a very important adjustment. This adjustment should be performed on each antenna individually. Adjustable from 0 to 15, with 15 being the most sensitive and 0 being the least sensitive. At 15, the threshold will be the lowest you can adjust it. (very close to the noise mean). At 0, the threshold will be the highest you can adjust it. (remember the tag signal has to exceed this threshold level The correct way to adjust this is to set this at the number where the threshold will be 15dB above the mean of the tag window. In this example, without a tag near the system, the threshold should be set at 25 ( ). 10 is the current mean of the noise in the tag window So, you should maybe decrease the sensitivity adjustment one number. That would probably raise the threshold to 25. (note - A difference of 13 is not that bad) We’ve adjusted this for the Fig-8 polarity only. Now perform this adjustment on the Aiding polarity of this antenna and then repeat for all other antennas on the system. The Receiver Gain and Notch sequence adjustments are not here for us to adjust. They are here for engineering use only Revision C, April Sensormatic Technical Training

Allow 10 seconds for the noise canceller to adapt to the noise antenna position Does not always prove beneficial Revision C, April Sensormatic Technical Training

This can be a Ranger or skyMax antenna, or a hand made coil Select which antenna your using and assign the noise coil to it - Position coil where it sees the noise source best, but does not clip and not where it will see a tag signal While moving coil around watch both the noise coil signal and the antenna noise Be patient and methodical with locating the best location for the coil - Understand that this noise coil must remain permanently in final location (not annoying to the appearance of the store) - The best final location for the noise coil is where you get maximum cancellation of noise in the antenna.

Tuning Criteria Relaxation RDC Threshold Jammer Sensitivity Zero Crossing Quality UltraLink Delay Corona Sensitivity Criteria Relaxation – This will make all detection criteria less picky. Use care when changing this RDC Threshold - The RDC canceller can be in one of two states: fast or slow. The threshold sets how much tag signal is needed to put the canceller in the fast state. Jammer Sensitivity Determines how sensitive the system is to jamming devices. Zero Crossing - This adds filtering to the zero crossing circuit. Compensates a little for power that is noisy at zero crossing time. UltraLink Delay - This is the time (in mSec) that the controller waits before sending a response to the UltraLink (or any other device) on the RS network connection. Ultralink install guide will specify what to set this at Corona Sensit. - This parameter is valid only for Floor-Max systems The controller monitors the current in the Floor-Max for corona problems and can shut down the system if it detects a problem.
