 Trigger input to quickly power up and down remotely the pedestals using light cells

before and after the pedestal area. This lowers down the radio emission levels to the
strict minimum necessary.

 One Extra Open Drain Output to drive External Alarm Device: Webcam, Extra Remote

Display or Sound

This is a cost effective security system as it only requires a single RFID tag for both anti-theft and
identification purposes.

16/68 Revision 2.1 December 2009

3.2 Brief L-SP3 Description

Figure 2: LSP3 Clear Panel Overview

December 2009 Revision 2.1 17/68

The components of the L-SP3 EAS system are contained within the L-SP3 pedestal. At
least two pedestals are required for each EAS gate. A set of pedestals is known as a gate and may
consist of several pedestals. Please see section 4 “Installation” for more information.

The L-SP3 is built in a one frame:

 An L-SP3 Electronics unit is used to control each pedestal. This electronics unit

generates the RF signal transmitted by the antennas and picks up the reply from the
RFID tag. If an activated RFID tag is detected, the electronics unit will activate the
LED/buzzer alarm

 These antennas are sensitive receivers used to detect the theft bit status and the AFI

value of the RFID tag as it passes through the EAS gate

 Visual and audible warning devices

 A remotely accessible people counter equipped with dual light barrier photoelectric

sensors.

To operate, the L-SP3 will only need an IEC power supply cable, avoiding unnecessary mains
cable wiring up.

An IEC Mains Supply Cord Outlet is available to allow daisy chaining. A series of up to 5 pedestals
can be powered up from a single wall socket.

18/68 Revision 2.1 December 2009

4 Installation

4.1 Recommendations before Installation

4.1.1 Wire Feed Sheaths

Within the framework installation you need at least a power supply cable sheath and an
Ethernet cable sheath to connect to the Ethernet network. These sheathed cables will be located at
the bottom center of the pedestal as shown in Figure 10.

If needed according to the installation configuration, extra sheathed cables need to placed
for wire synchronization, Trigger cable and to remotely switch the RF on & off and I/O cables to
drive external devices (Camera, Remote alarms…).

The L-SP3 is delivered without any IEC terminated plug power supply cable or Telecommunication
cable. It is up to the Local installation personnel to use the appropriate IEC Power Cord according
to local electrical regulations.

Use appropriate IEC power cord according to the local regulations to
power up and interconnect the pedestals.

The Power Supply Cord is the LSP3 Product Main Disconnecting Device,
It should be easily accessible at any time to Disconnect the pedestals
from the mains power supply.

December 2009 Revision 2.1 19/68

4.1.2 Electrical Safety Rules

The L-SP3 is powered up via a Mains Supply IEC Cord.

A group of up to 5 Pedestals can be daisy chained and powered via a single IEC power
cord connected to a wall socket. The mains wall socket should provide at least 2 Ampere and be
protected by a differential circuit breaker limiting the current to 5 Ampere maximum.

Figure 3 here below shows how to connect the L-SP3 pedestals to the mains.

Figure 3: Safety Electrical Installation Using Power Cord

 Spirit Level

4.3.2 Placement of Pedestals

Pedestals must be mounted between 800mm and 980 mm apart (edge to edge) for
maximum reliable performance. There should be at least one pair of pedestals at each
entrance/exit point of the library. There should be a pedestal at each edge of the entrance, and a
clear space of at least 500 mm around the edge of the pedestals to ensure that the antennas will
not be detuned. This clear space must not contain any metallic objects, but may contain some
substrates such as non-metallic/non-conductive building materials such as wood, glass,
chipboards and plasterboards.

CAUTION: In case several Pedestal rows (group of Pedestals) to be
installed it is mandatory every L-SP3 being positioned in the same
direction (all people counter of each looking toward the same direction).
This would prepare the installation for future implementation of direction
sensing.

Be cautious to properly align the pedestal in order to centre the photoelectric beam sensor on the
reflector of the next pedestal.
