NTRODUCTION
This Guide allows you to upgrade existing installations of QS2000, Strata PX and Liberty
PX pedestals to the new Liberty UHX pedestal. The new Liberty UHX pedestals can read
both EAS and UHF/RFID tags simultaneously.
The following upgrade scenarios are covered in this document:
• Removing the existing pedestals
• QS2000 pedestals (EAS)
• Strata PX pedestals (EAS)
• Liberty PX pedestals (EAS)
• Installing the new Liberty UHX pedestals (EAS and RFID)
• Cutting the new wiring channel
• Installing the power supplies
• Running the electrical and network wiring
• Installing the new Liberty UHX pedestals
An upgrade is completed by Checkpoint in an expeditious manner from the legacy
pedestals without disruption to the store operations for extended periods of times.
All upgrades will take place outside of store hours during a period of time mutually agreed
upon by both parties.
Similar to the initial installation of either the Liberty PX, Strata PX or QS2000 pedestals,
the process of upgrading to the Liberty UHX pedestals requires the presence of
Checkpoint Technicians, Target personnel, and Checkpoint contractors. Checkpoint is
responsible for carefully screening and engaging the Checkpoint contractor prior to the
scheduled installation date. In some instances, a licensed electrician may be required.
Whether an electrician is required or not will depend on the local building codes.
An upgrade plan includes installing the Liberty UHX antennas and fully configuring and
testing the EAS functionality of the antennas prior to the store opening. Once the EAS
functionality of the antennas is confirmed, the Liberty UHX pedestals will be configured
and tuned for full UHF functionality.

Checkpoint personnel to review the site survey and determine necessity of mats. If
replacement mats are required, Checkpoint personnel must notify Target to have mats
ordered and delivered in time for the upgrade to the existing pedestals. As a precautionary
measure, Checkpoint technicians will carry a 15 by 10 foot mat to all installations.

EMOVING
In order to install the Liberty UHX pedestals, you must first remove the existing legacy
pedestals. This chapter provides detailed instructions for removing the following legacy
pedestals:
• QS2000 (EAS) - See “Removing QS2000 Pedestals” on page 2-2.
• Strata PX (EAS) - See “Removing Strata PX Pedestals” on page 2-4.
• Liberty PX (EAS) - See “Removing Liberty PX Pedestals” on page 2-6.
Each of these procedures is very straight-forward and can be accomplished by Checkpoint
Technicians. It is estimated that removing a single pedestal would take a Checkpoint
Technician approximately 15 minutes. This time can vary.

Removing QS2000 Pedestals
To remove existing QS2000 pedestals, complete the following.
1 Checkpoint Technician removes the plastic covering from the QS2000 pedestal.

3 Checkpoint Technician removes the existing bolt anchors in one of the following ways:
• Break
• Cut
• Pound down
4 Since the footprint of all QS pedestals is 12 inches by 3 1/2 inches, the existing bolt
anchor holes will need to be filled in because these holes cannot be reused for Liberty
UHX installations.
Estimated completion time
Removal of the legacy QS2000 pedestal will take approximately 30 minutes per single
pedestal.
Removing bumper posts
QS2000 pedestal may have a bumper post installed on either side of the pedestal to protect
the pedestal from damage. These bumper posts should be removed and the post holes
filled in with concrete. Instead of bumper posts, the new Liberty UHX pedestals are
installed on top of metal risers. The riser elevates the base of the Liberty UHX pedestal off
of the floor to protect it from being damaged.
To remove the existing bumper posts:
1 Checkpoint contractors remove flooring.
2 Checkpoint contractors remove both bumper posts.
3 Checkpoint contractors fill in bumper post holes with concrete.
Estimated completion time
Removal of each bumper post will take approximately 15 minutes plus time for concrete.
This can vary by Checkpoint contractor.
2-3 Liberty UHX Upgrade Guide
Removing Strata PX Pedestals
To remove existing Strata PX pedestals, complete the following.
1 Checkpoint Technician removes the plastic covering from the Strata PX pedestal.
