AMB-9020 Dual Antenna
ScanMax
Deactivator Controller
Installation and Service Guide
The Dual Antenna Deactivator controller, along
with an antenna, is used to deactivate security
labels. Antennas used with the controller are:
• PowerPad Pro (ZBSMPPP)
• Slim Pad Pro (ZBSMPSP)
• CompactPad Pro Tabletop (ZBSMPCP)
• CompactPad Pro Flush Mount (ZBSMPCP-F)
• HS Pro (ZBSMPHS)

IMPORTANT (all antennas)! If only one antenna
is used, it MUST be plugged into the Antenna 1
port or the unit will not function properly.
IMPORTANT (IS Pro only)! If two antennas are
used and one is an IS Pro antenna and one is not,
the IS Pro antenna MUST be plugged into the
Antenna 1 port or the unit will not function properly.

About the Product
Product Overview
The Dual Antenna Deactivator controller supports
any two ScanMax Pro deactivation antennas used
to deactivate USII and USIII labels. A universal
input, 22Vdc output power supply powers the
controller.
The controller contains the necessary ports for:
• Wireless synchronization
• Network communication
• Maintaining independent antenna status
• Functional control for each antenna.
The controller also has:
• Automatic antenna type detection, except if
using the optional extension cable.
• Auto synchronization
• Automatic key switch detection
• Panel button for Label type (SR or DR) and
power level (Full or Magnetic Media Safe)
• LEDs that indicate power on, communication
activity, and diagnostics.
Product Limitations
• The controller has max duty cycle of three
times a second.
• Both antennas must have the same power
level and label type
• Max throughput speed of 203cm/sec
(80”/second) unless otherwise limited by the
antenna.
• Maximum distance between antenna and
controller is expected to be 3m (9.8ft), or 6m
(19.7ft) when optional extension cable 06520136-01 is used.
• Antennas cannot deactivate simultaneously.
• No independent antenna power selection
(both antennas full or MMS)
• No independent antenna label selection
(both antennas same label setting)
• Low Profile Pad and PowerPad have a 10%
reduction in deactivation height.

Magnetic Media Safe Operation
Magnetic Media Safe (MMS) operation enables
security labels in audiotapes and videotapes to be
deactivated without affecting the media. MMS is
selectable using a software configurator, or using
the push button on the controller.
Synchronization
Auto-synchronization. Auto-synchronization
within the controller helps minimize tuning and
adjustment service calls. The controller
synchronizes to the antenna picking up the highest
in-band amplitude or to a wireless synchronization
input.
Wireless synchronization. The wireless
synchronization module plugs into the RS485 port
on the controller. If the TSP/Sensormatic network
is using this port, the module can be plugged into
the modular jack of the network terminal block
assembly.
About the Controller
The controller consists of an aluminum and plastic
enclosure that contains power and control
electronics. All connections are made to a
connector plate on one side of the unit.
Connections include:
• DC power in
• Two deactivation outputs
• Two remote indicator ports
• Two RS232 ports: POS 1 and POS 2 (the
service configurator uses only the POS 1 port)
• Two Scan I/O ports
• RS485 port.

About the Antennas
The controller accepts any ScanMax Pro antenna.
These antennas automatically set the controller for
their antenna type and software settings when
plugged into the controller except when using an
extension cable. When using optional extension
cable 0652-0136-01 use the service configurator to
select antenna settings. EXTENSION IN USE must
be selected on the configurator as well.
System Operation
The Dual Antenna Deactivator generates an
alternating magnetic field that deactivates the label
by de-magnetizing the label’s bias material.
Deactivation Process
Deactivation is accomplished using electronics in
the controller and deactivation coils in the antenna
assembly. The Dual Antenna Deactivator uses a
resonance approach to generate the magnetic
fields needed for deactivation. A capacitor is
charged to a high voltage (on demand when a
deactivation needs to occur) and then switched in
parallel with the deactivation coil.
The controller, when first powered up, can also
detect whether a key switch is in use. If detected,
the key switch setting is set as a default for the
system.
Diagnostic Capabilities
The Dual Antenna Deactivator provides power on
tests as well as continuous status of detection and
deactivation functions.
The LEDs on the controller display status to the
user. The controller displays a solid green light for
control good and red for a fault. The control LED
blinks green if the key switch is disabled.
Advanced diagnostics and analysis are available
through the deactivator software configurator. The
configurator features include zero crossing
adjustment, receive signal and noise levels,
operating mode selections, deactivation and
double check counts, and hours of operation.
Detection, scan enable, and deactivation outputs
are sent to the configurator. Settings for each
antenna can be adjusted independently (except
label type and power level) using their individual
set-up page.
Detection Process
The detection process uses the same antenna
used for deactivation.
Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and frequency
sweeping enhance detection performance and
allow for hard tag discrimination.
Note: Hard tag discrimination depends on how
close the tag is to the deactivator. The further away
the tag is, the longer it takes the controller to
determine if a non-deactivateable tag is in the
deactivation zone.
Detection compensation is controlled by the
microprocessor allowing for adjustments to be
made for label type, antenna type, and operating
mode (Full Power or Magnetic Media Safe).
Control
The controller uses a microprocessor for
deactivation and detection control. The controller
also acts as the TSP/Sensormatic network hub
(described later in this document). The intent of the
RS485 network is to allow the POS register system
to communicate via RS232 (POS 1 or POS 2) to
other Sensormatic peripherals by allowing
commands to ‘pass through’ the controller to the
RS485 network.
Indicators
The controller has outputs that connect to the
standard remote alarm display, AcoustoLink, and
Footlink for each antenna. The controller provides
a visual power on/status indicator and indicators for
power mode and label type selection.
Control Power LED (Bi-color)
• Green: active
• Red: fault condition
• Blink Green 1/sec: deactivation disabled
• Momentary Amber: deactivation in progress
Programming button LEDs
• Yellow: reduced power for magnetic media
safe
• Yellow: single resonator low energy label
• MMS LED blinks to indicate EEPROM in
Antenna # 1 cannot be read
• SR LED blinks to indicate the EEPROM in
Antenna #2 cannot be read.
Note: SR label type and MMS selections apply to
both antennas

POS Integration
Scan I/O Port
POS integration uses the Scan I/O port and/or an
RS232 port. Scan I/O ports can be configured to
accept specific operating voltage levels to control
the deactivator. It will be compatible with the
AcoustoLink and Footlink options.
SCAN I/O Port Electrical Specifications
Maximum input voltage: +25Vdc ±5%
Input 1+ and Input 2+:
- Input voltage: 5–20Vdc positive or negative
polarity, >20–25Vdc positive polarity only
- Current: 10mA source minimum
- Minimum pulse duration: 100ms.
Detect Out: open-collector side of an opto-isolator
- Maximum pull-up voltage: +25Vdc
- This output remains in the open state until a
deactivation occurs. It then shorts to the Detect
Common for a minimum of 50ms based on label
vicinity to the antenna verse deactivation time.
Detect common: Emitter side of the Detect Out
opto-isolator normally should be tied to a ground
return. Maximum Current limit: 60mA.
Interconnection Cables
The 183cm (6ft) power cord attaches to the
external power supply and into a 4-position minidin on the controller. The cord option selected
depends upon destination.
Cable length of SMPRO antennas is 3m (9.8ft).
The extension cable is 3m (9.8ft) long.
Networking
The RS232 ports, if not used by a scanner
interface device or other auxiliary control device,
can be used for communicating to the customer
checkout register. The controller has a 6-position
modular jack (RJ11) that is the input/output for the
TSP/Sensormatic RS485 network. Information from
the register, when addressed correctly, passes
through the controller RS232 interface, to the
RS485 network, and on to its intended recipient.
To connect from the controller RS485 to
peripherals, such as an exit EAS system or tag
detacher, an optional interface assembly is
required. This assembly contains two 3 position
terminal blocks, two six-position modular jacks
(RJ11), and an input modular jack. The length of
the input cable from the controller to the networking
terminal block is determined by the baud rate and
line capacitance.
