3.2. Installation Requirements
Make sure all parts have arrived. Make sure there are no damaged parts. If there
is any damaged part, notify the transport company.
Installation shall be performed by a qualified installer with all necessary
national/local electrical/fire codes training.
If possible, connect the Processor / RX antenna and put them in the required
position in the entrance/exit
without
drilling holes in the floor and bolting the
antennas down. Switch on the system and test the performance. In this way the
noise level and system sensitivity can be determined and if necessary (in case of
high noise or poor sensitivity) the system can be moved to find a better position
The pedestals shall be placed at a distance equal to or smaller than the maximum
value depending on the kind of tag.
Avoid placing the Processor / RX pedestals near metallic structures (doors, frames,
etc...) or neon/discharge lamps.
Always install the TX antenna on that side where the highest noise is or where
the highest noise can be expected.
Metal framed doors may never swing between the EAS antennas, as this will
distort the energy field of the system in such a way that it might result in high
noise, poor detection and potential false alarms
Not connected RX antennas nearby a running system are to be avoided. They act
as a big hard tag.
Avoid unnecessary long cables. Run the power supply cables in a direct line to
the EAS antennas. Never run power supply cables vertically up the wall within
one meter distance of the antennas (never around the entrance/exit doorframe).
The AC source should be a clean AC source. If possible do not share the AC
source with computers, neon lights/discharge lamps, or equipment with switching
power supplies, m
ake sure the “Earth” of the power supply plug is connected to
the power supply socket.
Blown fuses shall be replaced with fuses of the same kind.
ALWAYS UNPLUG
power supply
BEFORE CHANGING
blown fuses!
