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.

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.

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

3.3 Slaving Connection
Whether or not the C/PT IX should be slaved to other EAS systems or deactivation systems depends on the environment of the site, the layout of the system, and the settings of the system. Refer to Table 8.1 as a guideline for the minimum distances required between the various EAS systems and the C/PT IX. If you are not sure, temporarily plug in and turn on the C/PT IX, attach the oscilloscope probe to the appropriate test point of the EAS systems receivers as you test for poor detection and phantoms.
NOTE: The C/PT IX doesn’t have MASTER SLAVE OUTPUT.
It cannot be slaved to each other unless a master source such as an EAS system or fiber master exists.

When fiber slaving, you need the fiber receiver found in Fiber Slave Kit (P/N 469022). Plug the fiber receiver into U15 and tie wrap it. Connect the fiber cable with the connector from the fiber master to the fiber receiver.
Secure slave/inhibit wiremold, measure, cut, and lay the cable. Secure the pad- chassis and power cables to the sales counter surfaces with cable ties. Use plastic wiremold where cables are visible to the store personnel. Secure the excess of either cable under the counter by bundling it. Do not coil it. Make sure to leave enough cable slack at the chassis end to allow service access. Leave the chassis unplugged. Install Heyco bushings at each cable entry on the rear of the deactivator chassis.

C/PT IX DIP Switch Configuration
The C/PT IX can be configured as master or slave unit, operating in IV, V, or VI modes. This is done by the settings of SW1, SW2, SW3, SW4, and SW5.
In IV mode, the C/PT IX detects the tag first and switches from the low power mode to the high power mode to destroy the tag.
In V mode, the C/PT IX operates in the high power mode all the time to destroy the tag and will not detect the tag.
In VI mode, the C/PT IX operates in the high power mode all the time to destroy the tag but will detect the hard tags and any missed soft tags.
Almost all the C/PT IX’s functions are configured by three banks of DIP switches. Refer to Table 8.3 for a complete listing of the DIP switches and their functions. A simplified table
can also be found on the back of the chassis.

C/PT IX Tune Up and Test Procedure
If you haven’t already done so, follow the standard procedure to tune the sensing system to Checkpoint’s specifications
6.1 Center Frequency and Deviation Verify
Since the C/PT IX uses pulse-listen technology, it’s difficult to measure the center frequency and the deviation using regular tools. Also, since the C/PT IX uses DDS (Direct Digital Synthesis), the frequency band can not be adjusted. Use dip meter and the ear phone to verify the center frequency and the deviation. You should hear the clicking sound with your earphone from 7.6 –8.7 MHz when you sweep the frequency using the dip meter. See Figure 8.1.

tuning the deactivators.
Detection Field Adjustment
When in IV mode, the detection field should be adjusted properly to achieve the best performance.
6.3 V Mode
Follow step 5.3 to configure the chassis. Test the deactivation height using live 410 tags. The deactivation height should be comparable to the numbers listed in Table
8.2. If the deactivation height is worse than expected, go to Appendix A for the detailed tuning.
To insure that tags will be detected before they are deactivated adjust R11 to its minimum setting which is approximately 0.7 VDC. See Figure 8.1.
Sensitivity adjustment
When in IV mode, the sensitivity of the receiver should be adjusted properly to achieve the best performance.
Adjust GAIN (R4) all the way clockwise (maximum) to achieve better detection. If phantoms occur, adjust GAIN (R4) counterclockwise slightly until the phantoms stop.
Test the detection height using standard 410 test tag. The detection height should be comparable to the numbers listed in Table 8.2. If the detection height is less than expected, go to Appendix A for the detailed tuning.

6.4 VI Mode
Follow step 5.4 to configure the chassis. Test the deactivation height using live 410 tags. The deactivation height should be same or better compared to the numbers listed in Table 8.2. If the deactivation height is worse than expected, go to Appendix A for the detailed tuning. Test the detection height using standard 410 test tag, it should be at least 6” or higher if a pad is used.
6.5 Interlock Turn-On Time Adjustment
When the interlock function is used, adjust INT TIME (R98) clockwise to increase the interlock Turn-On time from 0.2 - 10 seconds in LO mode (SW3-3 OFF) and 1min – 10 min in HI mode (SW3-3 ON). See Figure 8.1.

After The Installation
Wait until after installation and tuning to show the customer personnel how the deactivator operates. Ensure that site management is present and let them designate which site employees will attend. If you have just installed a sensing system and deactivators, explain the sensing system operation first, then follow with the deactivator operations, as follows:
March 9, 2000 FCC ID: D04CP1900
7.1 Turning the Deactivator On and Off
The deactivator should be turned off when not in use to prevent unauthorized personnel from deactivating tags.
Show the operation of the power switch, and point out the green light on the chassis, which shows that the power is on. If the sensing system control module is Model N or later, mention that a key is required to activate the system. If the sensing system is the master in a slaved configuration, indicate that it must be on before the deactivators will function.
7.2
How the Deactivator Works
Show how the deactivator operation is similar to the sensing system in that both systems transmit radio signals which cause tags to respond with their own radio signals when they come into range. Explain that each system's receiver recognizes the tag signal then verifies it. Then explain that the difference between the two is what each does with the verified tag signal. The sensing system alarms loudly upon tag verification. The deactivator alarms softly at the chassis and disables the tag. When deactivation is immediate, there will be no audible alarm.
7.3 When the Tag Doesn't Deactivate
Explain that tags vary in length of time required to deactivate. Some tags deactivate instantly, while others take longer. It may be that a very few wouldn't deactivate automatically. If this should occur, just place a Thank You label over the tag. Mention that any hard tags, hang tags, or non-deactivatable stickers also will not deactivate automatically. Clerks must either remove these tags, or mask them with a

INSTALLATION & TUNE-UP PROCEDURE
COUNTERPOINT IX
Thank You label. For these tags, the deactivator acts as a point of sale detector. It continues to alarm softly until the tag is removed or masked.
7.4 When the Sensing System Alarms
Employees should follow their management's standard procedure for handling sensing system alarms, just as if there were no deactivators in the store. If there is no standard procedure, make a mental note to encourage management to set one. Wait until after you conclude the training meeting to avoid embarrassing management in front of the employees.
7.5 Testing the Deactivator
Employees should turn on the deactivator before use and turn off the deactivator when unattended. An employee verifies power by viewing the green light on the chassis. Beyond checking the power on switch, there isn't much need to test the deactivator's function because it will be immediately apparent should a unit fail to disable tags.
Show employees how to test for deactivation in case site management should want to test a unit. In IV and VI modes, use a hard tag, hang tag or non-deactivatable sticker. Hold it about 18" (46 cm) above each deactivator pad and bring it down slowly to the pad's surface. Point out alarm occurs at about 10.5" (27 cm) height. Take a deactivatable sticker and move it down in the same manner. Observe the signal stops as the tag gets closer. Try to alarm the deactivator again with the same tag to verify that it has been disabled. Make sure that this activity doesn't alarm any other deactivator or sensing system. In V mode, use DV1000 and live 410 tags to test the system.
March 9, 2000 FCC ID: D04CP1900
7.6 Operational Problems
Give site management the telephone numbers used for calling Checkpoint service about equipment problems. Detail how to avoid potential problems by keeping permanent tags and stickers and also metal objects away from the deactivator pads.
7.7 Tagging
Show how deactivatable stickers can now be hidden in protected merchandise. Remind the customer that metal and foil objects usually can't be protected by pressure sensitive tags. Detail that all procedures for tagging merchandise covered in the User's Guide apply also to deactivatable tags. Detail the necessity of maintaining a tagging system, use of merchandise value or theft activity to decide which merchandise to tag, and the need for following an established procedure when the sensing system alarms.

Appendix A Fine Tuning
DIP switch settings in Table 5.1 and Performance Matrix in Table 8.4 are based on the tests performed in the lab under following conditions:
1. Use of 6 feet, #18 cables for the scanners
2. Use of 8 feet, #18 cables for the pads 3 Free of any interfering RF systems in an open environment
4. Use of standard 410 test tag in V mode testing
5. Use of standard 410 tags in IV mode testing
In actual installation, these settings may be changed for proper performance of the C/PT IX due to environmental variations. If you are not able to tune the C/PT IX following the normal tuning procedure detailed in previous chapters, refer to this chapter for fine tunings.
A.1 Detailed Tuning in IV Mode
To fine tune the C/PT IX in IV mode, change switches SW1 and SW2 so that the average amplitude of the AC signal at ANT (TP2) is both maximized and as flat as possible. Start with SW1 and SW2 all off and turn on the DIP switches two at a time beginning at position (1). The following is an example of tuning 12 x 12 pad.

From A1.1 to A1.3 it's clear that SW1 and SW2 position (1) should be set to on (A1.1) for
12x12 pad because the average amplitude of the AC signal at ANT (TP2) is highest and more flat compared to the others.

Ch1: Voltage: 100mv/div Triggered on Ch1
Time: 200us/div
Test point: LISTEN (TP4) Maximized Intensity
Ensure the peak amplitude of the AC signal without the tag at LISTEN (TP4) is below 0.5Vp-p as shown in A1.4.
March 9, 2000 FCC ID: D04CP1900
A1.4 AC Signal at LISTEN (TP4)
Readjust SW1 and SW2 if the signal at LISTEN (TP4) is over 0.5Vp-p.
A.2 Detailed Tuning in V Mode
Follow step A.1 to fine tune SW1 and SW2 without checking sensitivity.
A.3 Detailed Tuning in VI Mode
Follow step A.1 to fine tune the C/PT IX in VI mode for deactivation. If phantoms occur, reduce the sensitivity by adjusting GAIN (R4) counterclockwise all the way.
