1. SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.1 Description USS 58kHz Deactivator can detect and deactivate any electronic resonant circuit at 58 kHz or any acousto magnetic tag passing through the detection area. The device also provides visual and audible alarm confirming the deactivation is successful. The system includes Digital Processing System (DPS) in order to achieve a great detection range, filtering noise and achieving up to 15cm detection/deactivation range. The tuning is done easily via powerful software.

3. QUICK TUNING 3.1 Quick Installation 3.1.1. PREVIOUS Install the deactivator the same way as a system installation Always connect the device to clean power lines (No other electrical devices connected) Always turn on systems/deactivators ONE by ONE.
3.3 Synchronization Problem How can I recognize a synchro problem? Externally: When you turn on your system: • It makes other 58 kHz systems near alarm • Your system is showing a high amount of noise in the LED bar (See Section 2. HARDWARE). • There is no detection or it is very poor. Laptop: • Check Section 4.7.4. DISCOVERY TOOL How can I know the synchro problem has been solved? Externally all systems around will be working fine as well as yours.
3.4 Noise Problem How can I recognize a noise problem? Externally: When you turn on your system: • The system shows a high amount of noise in the LED bar. • The detection might be poor. Laptop: • In the scope you will see high amount of noise, in the 2 buffers. How can I solve a noise problem? Try to locate the source of noise: • Turn off all electrical equipment in the area. If the noise disappears, start turning all the electrical equipment ONE BY ONE till you get noise again.
33.5 False Alarm or Unknown Alarm How can I recognize a false alarms (or unknown alarm) problem? Your deactivator is alarming when not expected to alarm. Deactivator devices are very false alarm restrictive. It is almost impossible that a deactivator device is alarming except when: There is a tag in the detection area There is another 58 kHz system or deactivator not in synchro. How can I solve a false alarms (or unknown alarm) problem? Look for tags near the system.

4.6 System Tab 4.6.1. STATUS The following information can be found: (Only INFO) • Serial Number • Current ID • Model • Version 4.6.2. SYSTEM TOTALS The following information can be found: • Total number of Alarms 4.6.3. POWER TIMES The following information can be found: • Total number of Power ON • Total Number of Power ON hours (working hours).
4.7 Transmitter Tab 4.7.1. START / STOP TX Transmission can be stopped, this can be used to confirm if an alarm is coming from tags / labels. If the Transmission is stopped and the alarm stops, then the alarm was caused by a tag.
4.7.2. DISCOVERY TOOL Main tool to synchronize the system. In 99% of cases this adjustment is not necessary. Anyway, it is always good to take a look at the environmental electric noise throughout the “Discovery Mode” feature. When Discovery Tool is ON, the transmitter is then turned off, and the system ONLY receives. Standard Synchro delay value is 0.2ms Once the Discovery Tool is ON, electrical noise and other possible systems out of phase are shown on the screen.
FIELD SITUATIONS 1. Systems perfectly in phase (99% of times), NO NEED TO SYNCHRONIZE • In these cases, only the blocks in the lower part can be seen. The presence of another system which is correctly synchronized with yours, can be seen in the break of the first block (RED CIRCLE) 2. Systems out of synchro, NEED TO SYNCHRONIZE, Only one external reference • When another 58 kHz transmitter is transmitting out of synchro, it can be easily seen from the scope screen.
• Match the systems transmissions with one each other… • As it can be seen on the figure above, our TX blocks (below yellow line) have moved until the position of the other system TX blocks. The synchro can be followed and verified visually. The peaks appearing in the 2 last blocks (RED CIRCLE) are normal when the system is too near. • After a good synchronization process, you must turn Discovery Mode off, to do so press OFF 3.
• After synchronizing ALL external systems, the situation will be as follows: • Then the system can be correctly synchronized using this unique and only external reference. • Please follow step CASE 2, to synchronize de system in accordance.
4.8 Reciever Tab 4.8.1. GAIN Gain feature is used to adjust the receiver sensitivity to get the best reception signal. NOTE: This setting is set to 1 and can't be changed in USA In order to adjust Gain, simply select the value until you get the required detection. 4.8.2. THRESHOLD Threshold feature is the signal level at which each receiver will trig an alarm.
4.8.4. SIGNAL AND NOISE In the scope area there is a digital oscilloscope display that will help to analyse the noise and signal. Real time electrical noise signals icon will show current electrical signal (Noise and tags if there is any).
4.9 Alarm Tabs This section allows you to configure the alarm in the system. 4.9.1. SOUND OPTIONS Select number of times to sound and customize beep duration time. Relay • When an alarm occurs, the alarm closes a relay and triggers anything connected to it. • RELAY SPECIFICATIONS: 240V & 250mA. • Normal Open(NO) & Normal Close(NC) contacts 4.9.2.
4.10.1. CUSTOMIZING INSTALLATION PROCESS Customize the way installation setup runs including software name, shortcut on the start menu and display settings: Open the file InstallerConf.txt from the Installation package. • 1.
