1.0 System Description
1.1 System Overview
Checkpoint's C/PT IX deactivation system dramatically cuts inventory shrinkage losses from customer shoplifting and employee pilferage when used in conjunction with a Checkpoint electronic article merchandising system. Although not foolproof, C/PT IX can reduce losses in retail stores so effectively that the savings will quickly exceed the system's cost. This manual describes how to install, tune, and test the C/PT IX system.
A complete C/PT IX system consists of one chassis, one or two pads or scanner antennas and targets attached to protected inventory. The pad rests on the top of the checkout counter where tagged merchandise can pass over it. The chassis is usually mounted under or inside the checkout counter. Clerks deactivate these targets at checkout. If someone should try to exit through the sensing system with an active target, an alarm sounds. The manager can then intercept and verify the item has been properly purchased.
March 9, 2000 FCC ID: D04CP1900
1.1.1 How the System Works
One chassis can drive up to two pads or up to two scanner/deactivators or a combination of both. A random pulsed-RF signal is generated by the chassis. This signal is sent through a cable or cables connected to one or two pads creating a RF field above the pad(s). When a Checkpoint target enters the field, it responds to the chassis' signal by resonating and emitting a signal of its own. Depends on its operating modes, the chassis either picks up the target's signal, and amplifies the subsequent pulses to destroy or deactivate the target, or operates in the high power mode to destroy or deactivate the target all the time.
1.1.2 System Effectiveness
It is possible to subvert the C/PT IX system. For example, targeted merchandise can be deactivated by customers, then concealed. Customers could also remove targets from protected merchandise. Customers can learn these and other tricks to evade security measures.
Most theft loss arises from impulsive shoplifters, who sense an opportunity to steal and spontaneously act to take advantage of it. C/PT IX, in conjunction with a sensing system, acts effectively to discourage these casual shoplifters,
and they seldom learn how to defeat this system.

COUNTERPOINT IX
1.2 Chassis
The chassis is mounted inside or under the checkout stand so that it is within 8 feet of an AC power outlet, 7 feet of a pad, 5 feet of a scanner antenna.
On the unit’s face are:
•
a recessed power switch,
•
an access hole to the internal volume control,
•
a green LED (

a red LED (
•
a green LED (
•
a yellow LED (
1.3 Power Supply and C/PT resettable fuse
On the unit’s back are:
•
a 6-pin female connector for antenna connection,
•
three access holes for power, slaving, interlock, inhibit, and remote unit cables.
The standard C/PT IX chassis operates on 90 - 264 VAC 50/60Hz /15 VDC supply with a current rating of over 1.0 A. The C/PT IX uses a resettable fuse. To reset this fuse, turn off power, wait 1 minute and turn on power.
1.4 Remote Unit
When the C/PT IX is configured in IV or VI mode, a remote unit is needed.
On the remote unit’s face are:
•
a recessed power switch,
•
a green LED that lights when power is on,
•
a sonalert that beeps when a live tag is detected by the C/PT IX.

) that lights when power is on,
) that lights when a live tag is detected,
) that lights when the C/PT IX is locked in slaved mode,
) that lights when the C/PT IX is inhibited.
1.5 Antenna
The C/PT IX chassis can be used with a variety of antenna configurations. Checkpoint or some scanner manufacturers produce these antennas.
1.6 Target
The C/PT IX system is compatible with all 8.2 MHz deactivatable tags. In addition, the C/PT IX will alarm when a non-deactivatable tag is placed in its field, but it will not deactivate the tag. Occasionally, non-deactivatable paper tags ( those with lower than average breakdown voltage ) will be deactivated, especially when placed near a corner of the pad where field strength is greatest. The CSE should be aware of this rare event.

3.2 Antenna Connection
3.2.1 Pad Connection
March 9, 2000 FCC ID: D04CP1900
C/PT IX can drive one or two pads or scanner/deactivators. The cable length for the pad is 8 feet.
(Don’t alter the cable length under any circumstance)
Place each pad in position on its counter. The maximum distance between the two pads that are connected to a single chassis is 12 feet. The best performance can be achieved if the pad cable run straight out of the pad for at least 6” (15 cm) before it changes direction. See Figure 3.2.1. If the direct pad-chassis route takes the cable back under the pad, beneath the counter top, it’s best to route the cable along the center of the pad. See Figure 3.2.1. Ensure that deactivation remains as transparent to the checkout process as possible. Connect the pads cables to either drain wires to
