CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Background Many retailers are now requiring invisible EAS Systems. The F10 system is Checkpoint’s latest invisible EAS offering. This product features a unique shielded antenna design based on the previously released, S10 product. This technology minimizes the impact of in floor noise sources that plagued previous floor systems. Offering better immunity to noise, Next Gen Liberty (NGL) TR4215 Electronics are utilized for F10 systems.
Overview This chapter explains F10 system hardware. This general information is useful for initial planning and training purposes. 1. Hardware: Shows hardware components including the antenna assembly and electronics. 2. System Diagrams: Shows overall design and component layout of the F10 system. F10 System Hardware The F10 system is designed to be installed in the floor and provide an invisible EAS system. The basic design is a 1 meter antenna assembly. Each antenna features multiple shielded coils.
System Diagrams The F10 system uses an antenna assembly comprised of wire coils wrapped around ferrite material tiles. Antennas are enclosed in PVC casings for strength and protection from environmental factors. Figures 1.4 and 1.5 show common installation coverage widths: 2m and 3m [6 and 9ft respectively]. Figure 1.4 Typical F10, 2 Meter Installation Figure 1.5 3m [9ft] Installation Layout with Component Names F10 Installation Manual Rev.
Grouping Multiple Antennas Larger aisles are able to be covered using a Sync configuration. Aisle widths of any 1m increment are possible. The 3m configuration features an F10, 2 meter system and a single 1 meter system. Similarly, the 5m layout features two (2) F10, 2 meter systems and the standard F10 antenna. Multiple electronics enclosures and power supplies are required, in this case, and the system electronics must be configured for operation as a single unit.
CHAPTER 2 SITE SURVEY Overview Checkpoint Field Service personnel visit the location to perform a site survey before installation. The initial planning stage is the appropriate time to determine site suitability, where the antenna loops will be located (for maximum EAS protection) and the type of systems to be installed. Antenna Distance from Interfering Elements Nearby elements and underlying flooring materials may cause interfering effects.
Common interfering elements and their minimum distances from F10 Antennas are listed below: Expansion Joints: The minimum distance from an expansion joint is 0.6 m [2 ft]. Vertical Cabling: The minimum distance from vertical cabling is 2.4 m [8 ft]. Metal Wall Studs: The minimum distance from a metal wall stud is 0.9 m [3 ft]. Sliding Doors (Metal): The minimum distance from a metal sliding door is 1.2 m [4 ft]. Tagged Merchandise: The minimum distance from tagged merchandise is 1.8 m [6 ft].
Electronics Enclosure Placement Requirements • Locate the electronics enclosure no further than 12.2m (40 linear-feet) or 15.2m (50 cable-feet) from the antenna(s) to allow for bends in the conduit run. • If wall-mounting is ideal, mount the electronics enclosure approximately 1.8m [6ft] above the floor to reduce RF-interaction with wiring in either the ceiling or the floor. Electronics mounted to the ceiling can potentially have a high RF-interaction with the surrounding environment (e.g.
CHAPTER 3 PHYSICAL INSTALLATION Chapter Outline This chapter offers diagrams and lists steps for physical installation of the major system hardware: 1. 2. 3. 4. Requirements: Lists the tool and part requirements for a typical installation. Installation Outline: Lists all of the basic installation steps as a sequence. Cut Diagrams: How to plan/make cuts for proper installation of the antenna assembly, Impedance matching board, and plan/route the wiring of the coax cable.
Parts Quantity will vary according to system type. 18 AWG 2-conductor (STP) Power 22 AWG 4-conductor (STP) (5594) Sync PVC cement *DekDuct (wire chase) *Wiremold (1500 or 2600 series) *Wiremold anchor bolts Note: *Wire routing methods will vary by installation. Note: Complete parts lists with OEM Part Numbers are included in Appendix B: Part Lists. Installation Outline Follow this sequence to successfully install the components and validate system operation: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
Caution: Prevent uneven stress on the fragile electronic components inside the assembly by ensuring the floor trough is smooth and level. Fill in uneven areas or gaps with leveling sand or concrete filler. F10, 1 Meter and 2 Meter Floor Cuts Installing the F10 antenna assembly in an existing store requires a trough to be cut in the floor. If the site is under construction, it is easier to mold the system into the floor (explained above).
Floor Cut Depth F10, 1 meter and 2 meter Antennas are identical, so the trough’s floor cut depth (height) is always consistent. Recommended depth is 7.6cm [3in] for optimum structural integrity. This allows approximately 3.75cm [1.5in] of concrete top fill covering each antenna (as shown in Figure 3.3). Figure 3.3 Side View of Trough Figure 3.
Common Wider Floor Cuts It is possible to create a wider system by combing either of the smaller two floor kits (refer to Figures 3.1 and 3.2 above). For example, to cover a 3m mall opening, a 1m and 2m kit are ordered. Figure 3.6 below shows exact dimensions of the trough (floor cuts) when the F10, 1 meter and 2 meter systems are combined. Figure 3.7 shows two (2) F10, 2 meter systems installed side-by-side. 354.5cm [139.6in] 35.5cm [14in] 117.5cm [46.27in] Matching Board Locations 21.8cm [8.6in] 224.
Mounting the Electronics Enclosure Detailed instructions for mounting the Electronics Enclosure are below. Before installing the enclosure, review the following requirements and if necessary, consult the Site Survey results. It is suggested if the location is difficult to access, wire the system before mounting, but keep the power supply unplugged until finished wiring all peripherals and mounting the support brackets. The electronics enclosure must be located no further than 12.
Wood Surface Installation For mounting to wood, use a #7 x ½” (0.38cm x 1.3cm) hex head screw (CKP P/N 7939172). 1. Using the proper diameter bit, drill a hole into the base material to a depth of at least 0.6cm [1/4”] deeper than the embedment required. Blow the hole clean of dust and other material. 2. Select the installation tool and drive socket to be used. Insert the head of the screw into the hex head socket driver. 3.
Concrete Surface Installation For mounting to concrete, use a 5/16” lead anchor and a #12 x 1 ½” panhead screw (CKP P/N 366291). Lead anchor (0.79cm) is a Power Fastener (P/N 09439). Screw is 0.55cm x 3.8cm. 1. Drill a hole into the base material to the depth required. The tolerances of the drill bit used should meet the requirements of ANSI Standard B212.15. 2. Blow the hole clean of dust and other material.
Finishing Installation Wiring the electronics, and configuring and tuning the antennas must occur before finishing the physical installation. Proceed to Chapters 4, 5 and 6, complete the setup and validation, and then return to this section when ready to finish the physical installation. Filling Trenches The floor cuts or cavities are filled with concrete mortar, grout, and/or sealants during this final step, ensuring the antenna locations are not visible.
CHAPTER 4 WIRING Overview This chapter instructs on the wiring of the entire floor system. There is a progression from the antenna to the electronics enclosure and common peripherals. Chapter 4: Wiring concludes with the DC power supply connections and system sync (optional) wiring schemes for multi-antenna configurations (i.e., when two or more electronics enclosures are synced – to operate as a unit). CAUTION: This system uses TR4215 † electronics with firmware version 4.00 or higher.
Antenna Wiring Wiring Components The components involved in Antenna Wiring and Coax Cable routing are shown below. Note: The Impedance Matching Board (right) only fits in the junction box in one position. Do NOT it force into place. Placement Unpack the antenna(s). Each antenna has four (4) colored wires that stick out from an end. 1. Apply the rubber o-ring over the threads of the ½” inch male fitting. Do NOT apply PVC cement. Feed the antenna wires through the male fitting, then tighten.
4. Route the coax cable from the Electronics Enclosure to the floor trough. Do not cut the cable yet, but note that excess will be removed after the true length is determined. Caution: Cable must not be cut shorter than 30’. 5. Unpack the remaining system components including the Junction Box, lid, Impedance Matching Board, PVC fittings and ferrite cores. Wiring the F10, 2 Meter System Perform the following to wire the F10, 2 meter system to the Impedance Matching Board. 1.
7. Align the four (4) ferrite cores in a row; they fit when staggered (i.e., positioned end-to-end). Thread the antenna wires through the piece of conduit. Push two (2) of the Ferrite cores into the antenna fitting. Apply PVC cement to the outside surface of the tubing, then push hard on the tubing, securing it to the antenna fitting. Note: Follow PVC cement instructions for proper surface preparation and use. 8. Apply PVC cement to the exposed piece of tubing.
10. Route the coax cable through the L-shaped fitting and 3 inch piece Tubing (cut to length). After antenna placement is finalized, apply PVC cement and secure the section of Tubing. 11. To prepare the coax cable, strip the outer insulator, then twist the conductor into a wire lead. 12. Next, cut the inner insulator flush with the outer and strip ¼ inch of the sheathing around the inner conductor (above right). Ensure that conductors are short enough to prevent touching. 13.
15. The right side antenna is wired in reverse. Red connects to pin 1, yellow to pin 2, etc. Side Pin Number Antenna Wiring Antenna 1 (Left) J2-1 Green J2-2 Black J2-3 Yellow J2-4 Red J2-1 Red J2-2 Yellow J2-3 Black J2-4 Green Antenna 2 (Right) Table 4.1 F20 Antenna Wire Pinout 16. Verify the correct pin-out using the above table. Note: Before closing the lid, it is necessary to first evaluate system performance. Refer to Evaluate Jumper Positions. 17.
Wiring the F10, 1 Meter System The procedure for wiring the F10, 1 meter system is consistent with the 2 meter procedure with two (2) important differences. First, preparing the junction box; second, wiring the matching board. Instead of three (3) of the knockouts being removed, only two (2) are removed (see below) Antenna wiring is different; only one (1) coax cable is utilized, however, both connectors (left and right) on the Impedance Matching Board are used (see Table 4.2 for F10 system).
Adjusting Jumper Settings The default jumper settings for the F10, 2 meter system are OUT for J5 - J10. The settings are adjusted for the F10, 1 meter system. Insert the red J5 and J6 jumpers. Note: Later on, after the system is initially configured, each of the jumper positions are tested in order to optimize the tuning of the F10 antenna. Refer to Evaluate Jumper Positions and complete the test.

24VDC Power Supply Wiring Below are instructions for wiring the 24VDC power supply to the TR4215 board’s DC Input Filter. 1. Cut the MC Armored cable (or generic AWG18 plenum-rated power cable) to length. 2. Strip the 2 (two) leads exposing about 0.6 cm [0.25 in] of the conductors. 3. Apply a Ferrite Core (CKP P/N 7284760) on the power wire near the DC Filter board; complete 3 loops. 4. Apply the Ferrite Core (CKP P/N 7284760) to the AC power cord. Figure 14.4 AC Power Cord Ferrite 5.
Wiring Between F10 Systems for Sync Where multiple-antennas are installed, a secondary electronics enclosure is connected to a primary via a sync cable. The RF Sync cable is installed prior to configuration. Use 22 AWG 4-conductor (STP) (5594) cable for sync cable. Parallel or “Daisy Chain” wiring configuration allows a single power supply to operate both units. Use 18AWG plenum-rated cable for the power connection.

Repeat with additional TR4215 boards until all units are configured for sync operation.
Standard: 8.2 and Library: 9.5 These are the standard applications and remain unchanged from the previous version of the firmware. Each application uses a tag that falls within a single contiguous RF frequency range. • Standard: 8.2 is the most common and most generic application. • Library: 9.5 mode is used primarily in libraries. Corral: 8.2, 9.0 This application is used in Toys-R-Us stores where the 8.2 MHz tags are placed on general merchandise throughout the store and 9.
Japan I: 8.2=9.5 and Japan II: 8.2, 9.5 These applications detect both the 8.2 and 9.5 tags with the same priority. In the Japan I application, detection of either tag causes an identical alarm response (and is logged identically). In the Japan II application, each tag causes a different alarm response (and is logged separately). This application is being used to support a transition from predominantly 9.5 MHz tags on merchandise to 8.2 MHz tags.

CHAPTER 6 TUNING PROCEDURES (1M AND 2M VARY) Overview This chapter describes the procedures required to properly tune the F10 system. It provides details on identifying and measuring ambient noise levels. Before continuing, it should be stated that the best way to remedy resonance is correcting the environment. The Impedance Matching Board for the F10 system features jumpers that change capacitance and affect antenna tuning. Testing occurs to optimize system performance.
• reducing the baseband gain during software processing (RX1 and/or RX2); • reducing the hardware gain (RX1 Hardware/RX2 Hardware); and • adjusting the receiver sampling hold off. Digital readouts allow different points within the signal processing chain to be displayed through the “C” view, or Set Filter Parameter Selection, which is a passive setting. This particular tool is used only after first attempting to correct the environment.
Overall, the idea is to reduce the affects of the noise above by either reducing the noise at the source or desensitizing our system to the source of noise. The following sections explain the appropriate tuning procedure(s) when a given type of noise is present. Note: During installation leave the Sam Option "Enable Sweeper Immunity" off until the system is tuned so that DMS A view accurately shows any interfering noise characteristics. After the system is tuned, this option can be turned on.
Note: The TR4215 board exhibits some natural internal resonance around 8 MHz which does not need to be tuned out. Because the signal is internal and the fact the Analog View is now multiplied by two (2), the typical tuning curve looks like the above. Evaluate Jumper Positions System Specific Procedures These procedures are specific to the particular model system being installed. Ensure the correct procedure(s) are followed (i.e. run the correct test for either the 1 meter or 2 meter system).
Configuring the System for Asynchronous Noise Filter View A shows excessive ‘spiky’ noise, which can also occur from a sweeper. This results in poor tag detection as the output filter display (Filter View 'D') will bounce as much as ½ a division. Figure 6.2 shows the Analog View (Filter View A) displaying the noise. This view is directly from the output of the ADC and is controlled only by the hardware gain (RF gain). Gain for filter views C and D are also control by the RX gain (software gain).
Figure 6.3 Noise on Filter View A – Results After RF Gain Tuning 3. After the RF gain is adjusted, observe Filter View D for about 15-30 seconds and note the peak response during this period. Below is a picture before adjusting the RX gain. Figure 6.4 Noise on Filter View D – Graph Before RX Gain Tuning 4. F10 Installation Manual Adjust RX gain (software gain) until the Noise begins to peak into the Analog View D. Figure 6.5 below shows a properly tuned system. Rev.
Figure 6.5 Noise on Filter View D – Graph After RX Gain Tuning Caution: In the presence of small resonances, this "spiky noise" will cause the system to false alarm. Do not leave the system with this level of noise. The receiver gain must be set such that Filter View D is nearly 'flat'. Resonance Sources A resonance is typically defined as a stationary signal in this FM band. When in the presence of noise, a resonance may be ‘buried.’ By definition, Checkpoint tags are resonances (resonant circuits).
Figure 6.6 shows an unresolved low level resonance, which would be likely to cause false alarms. Figure 6.7 shows the same resonance after reducing the TX level. Figure 6.6 Unacceptable low level resonance, Filter View 'C' TX Power @31 Figure 6.7 Acceptable low level resonance, Filter View 'C' F10 Installation Manual Rev.
Note: If the environmental resonances (if any) can be identified and physically removed, then the RX Gain can be set higher for better detection. Note: The TR4215 board exhibits some natural internal resonance around 8 MHz which does not need to be tuned out. Because the signal is internal and the fact the Analog View is now multiplied by 2, the typical tuning should look like the figure 46.

APPENDIX C INTERACTIONS F10 System – Proximity to Deactivation Units The table below lists minimum distances where Counterpoint IX or D11 Deactivators can be located away from a F10 system antenna. Deactivators do not affect the F10 system performance. However, in 4 and 6 Mode, if any F10 system is located inside a 1.8m [6ft] radius from the deactivator, false alarms may occur because the deactivator “sees” the system. It is not possible to slave a deactivator to a system with Strata-based electronics.
