About the Product
The AMC-7010 Metal Foil Detection kit (ZPMETALDET-7010) covers split pedestal configurations. It
also covers quad pedestal configurations with the
addition of the ZPMETAL-DET-C4 kit. This
AMS-9050 accessory detects metal having a large
surface area, such as aluminum foil, when it
passes between the pedestals of a system. It is
designed to not detect metal objects with small
continuous surfaces, such as keys and shopping
carts. The kit can only be used with AMS-9050
controllers.
The AMC-7010 is an accessory for AMS-9050
controllers connected to 2m Ultra•Exit pedestals
(ZS1090, ZS1091, ZS1092and ZS1102) or 2.4m
Ultra•Exit pedestals (ZS1130, ZS1131, ZS1121,
and ZS1132) with the Integrated Traffic Flow option
(ZPUE-TRAFFICNTR). Although the AMC-7010
can handle dual, split, or quad pedestal
configurations, the AMC-7000 and AMC-7020
options are usually used for dual configurations.
Features
Automatic Detection Adjustment – the system
adjusts itself to changes in the amount of metal
in the environment.
Enclosure is suitable for use in environmental
air handling space other than ducts or plenums.
Directional Inhibit support – using the People
Counter option, system can be set to alarm for
incoming metal only, out-going metal only, or
both.
Preliminary
Wired synchronization – synchronization of the
controller with other controllers must be done
with Universal Synchronization instead of wired
synch because the Wired Synch port is needed
for Metal Foil Detection.
Installation Requirements
Verifying Equipment and Unpacking
Verify that all equipment has arrived. Ensure the
system configuration is correct for the site.
Unpack major components in a back room. At
the install site, lay out parts in the order used.
Do not clutter the aisle or cause a trip hazard.
Installer/Contractor
Have electrical work comply with the latest
national electrical code, national fire code, and
all applicable local codes and ordinances.
Coordinate work with other trades to avoid
interference.
Verify existing site conditions and coordinate
with the owner’s representative and appropriate
utilities as required.
Obtain copies of all related plans, specifications,
shop drawings and addenda to schedule and
coordinate related work.
Thoroughly review the project to ensure that all
work meets or exceeds the above requirements.
Bring alleged discrepancies to the attention of
Sensormatic Electronics.
Multiple alarm methods – the system can
indicate the presence of metal foil by several
methods: a visual alarm at the pedestal, an
audio alarm at the pedestal, the triggering of a
relay that connects to another device (such as a
paging system), or an alarm at a digital remote
alarm.
Metal foil detection counts – the number of
metal foil detections can be displayed on an
optional Local Device Manager (LDM).
Large coverage area – detects metal between
two antennas up to 1.5m (5ft) off the floor
between the two pedestals.

Mounting Requirements
The AMC-7010 has a built-in flange used to
attach the enclosure to a wall or ceiling using
suitable hardware. Structure and hardware must
support 25.6kg (56.4 lb) or four times the weight
of the enclosure assembly.
Do not mount enclosure with its fan facing up.
Pedestal Placement
Minimum distance between two Ultra*Exit
pedestals is 1.2m (4.0ft) measured center-tocenter.
If there is another Metal Detection system in the
area and the two closest pedestals of the
system are within 11m (35ft) of each other, you
must sync the AMS-9050 controllers with a
Wired Sync option.

4. Use the vinyl cloth markers to label the cables
coming out of the AMS-9050. The following
figures show how the cables should be labeled.
The labels are shown next to the connector they
should be applied to. Note that the labeling is
different depending on whether the existing
system is configured as a split system, an
alternating split system, or quad system.
CAUTION: You must label the cables
correctly and connect them to their
proper connectors or the system will
not operate properly.
Figure 1. Labeling split system cables
For Existing Systems
If you are installing an AMC-7010 on an Ultra•Exit
system that is already installed and working, do the
following before turning off the system and starting
the installation process.
1. Perform a tag-pick test so that you can compare
system performance afterwards.
2. Save the system settings to a file.
CAUTION: The controller software must
be updated or the system will not comply
with regulatory requirements.
3. Download the latest version of the controller
software to the AMS-9050 controller.

Installing the Filter Board
For dual systems, you must install the Metal
Detection Filter Board kit (ZPMETAL-UE-FLTR) on
the Ultra•Exit pedestal that transmits during the
metal detection phase (pedestal C). For split and
quad systems, you must install a Filter board in
each pedestal. You install the Filter board in the
same location as the People-counting (Traffic
Flow) board.
1. Remove the base cover from one of the
pedestals.
2. For dual systems, identify which pedestal is the
metal foil detection transmitter (pedestal “C”).
a) Connect the configurator cable from the
laptop to the RS232 port at one of the
pedestals and start the configurator.
b) Hold the EAS tag or label behind or next to
each pedestal and observe the tag signal
strength each time to determine which
pedestal is the “C” pedestal.
c) Note the transmitter current on the “C”
pedestal.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK! Ensure the transmitter is off
before proceeding with the next step.
3. Turn off the transmitter and unplug the Tx/Rx
cable from the cap board of the pedestal.
Preliminary
4. Does the pedestal have a People-counting
(Traffic Flow) board installed in the base?
No. Using the four M3x10mm screws
provided, attach the Filter board to the four
standoffs below the capacitor board. See
Figure 4 or Figure 5.
Yes. You need to clear space for the Filter
board. The procedure depends on whether
this is a dual, split or quad pedestal system.
– If this is a split or quad pedestal system,
move the people counting board to the
back side of the pedestal.
If the pedestal is a non-acrylic model
(ZS1090, ZS1091, ZS1092, ZS1130,
ZS1131, ZS1132, ZS1133-PIEZO) and
it uses a ZPUE-SSBASE1, ZPUESSBASE2, or ZPUE-SSBASE3 base
cover, mount the people counting
board directly to the back side of the
pedestal.
If the pedestal is an acrylic model
(ZS1100, ZS1101, ZS1102, ZS1121
ZS1122) or it uses any antenna with a
ZPUE-SSBASE4 base cover, you will
need the People Counting Bracket kit
ZPMETAL-PC-BRKT. See the
installation guide included with the
bracket for installation instructions.
– If this is a dual pedestal system, you need
to do one of the following steps.
Move the people-counting board to the
other pedestal and swap the
Transmitter and Receiver sensors
under the alarm lens.

The pedestals must be oriented with the
sides containing the cap board as shown in
Figure 6.
CAUTION: Do NOT use the “C” pedestal
as the middle pedestal with split pedestal
systems or the system will not work
properly.
Split systems must be wired with the B
pedestal as the middle pedestal.
Quad systems may be used to cover one
large exit or two separate exits.
All pedestals except the “A” pedestal in a
dual configuration must have a Filter board
installed.

Cabling an Existing AMS-9050
System
Follow this procedure to connect the cables to an
existing AMS-9050 system (that is, one that is
already installed and functioning as an anti-theft
system). Observe the following rules:
Use the supplied cable clamps when
connecting the cables to the AMC-7010
enclosure. Do not substitute with other
cable hardware.
Route the cables through the knockout
closest to their connectors, making sure to
tie-wrap the cables against the side of the
enclosure. See Figure 8.
If you haven’t already done so, label the
cables on the AMS-9050 controller as
described in the section entitled “For
Existing Systems”.
1. Disconnect the Alarm cables from the AMS9050 controller and reconnect them to the
AMS-9050 in the proper order. Note: only quad
systems will use all four labels.
4. Connect the rest of the cables from the AMC7010 controller to the pedestals and other
devices. Refer to Figure 7, Table 1, and Table
2 for the proper cables and wiring. Note: the
Peripheral Network Device, Door Sensors, and
Relay-activated Device are optional devices.
Peripheral Network Devices – if the
system has peripheral network devices,
they attach to connectors P12 or P12.
Door Sensors – Door Sensors indicate
when a nearby door is opened or closed.
This allows the software in the Metal
Detection controller to disable the metal
detection alarms when the closing of a
door puts a large amount of metal near the
system.
Relay Activated Devices - The Metal Foil
Detection enclosure can connect to relayactivated devices such as camera
switchers or pager systems. You can then
program the device to perform some
function, such as switching cameras or
sending a message to a pager. These
devices are connected to P17 on the Metal
Detection controller.
2. Disconnect the Tx/Rx cables from the AMS9050 controller and reconnect them to the
AMS-7010 in the proper order. Note: only quad
systems will use all four labels.
3. Connect the cables from the AMC-7010
controller to the AMS-9050 controller. Refer to
Figure 7, Table 1, and Table 2 for the proper
cables and wiring.
Use one of the two 5-pin Aux/Wired Sync
connectors to connect the wired sync cable
to P2 on the AMS 9050.
Two relays are available on P17: Relay A
(1) and Relay B (2). Both relays are
activated for one second when a metal
event is detected. These relays are not
configurable. If additional relays are
needed, you can use the relays on the
AMS-9050 controller; they are configurable
on the Setup screen of the ADS4 Platform
configurator. Refer to Configuring the
Alarm Settings on page 22 for more
information.

Cabling a New AMS-9050 System
Follow this procedure to connect the cables to a
new AMS-9050 system.
1. Connect the Alarm cables from the AMS-9050
controller to the P5 connector on each of the
pedestals as you would normally.
2. Connect the cables from the AMC-7010
controller to the AMS-9050 controller. Refer to
Figure 7, Table 1, and Table 2 for the proper
cables and wiring.
Use the supplied cable clamps when
connecting the cables to the AMC-7010
enclosure. Do not substitute with other
cable hardware.
Route the cables through the knockout
closest to their connectors, making sure to
tie-wrap the cables against the side of the
enclosure. See Figure 8.
Use one of the two 5-pin Aux/Wired Sync
connectors to connect the wired sync cable
to P2 on the AMS 9050.
Use the vinyl cloth markers to label the
cables coming from the pedestals to the
AMC-7010. This ensures you can tell the
cables apart after you have put the top on
the AMS-9050.
Relay Activated Devices - The Metal Foil
Detection enclosure can connect to relayactivated devices such as camera
switchers or pager systems. You can then
program the device to perform some
function, such as switching cameras or
sending a message to a pager. These
devices are connected to P17 on the Metal
Detection controller.
Two relays are available on P17: Relay A
(1) and Relay B (2). Both relays are
activated for one second when a metal
event is detected. These relays are not
configurable. If additional relays are
needed, you can use the relays on the
AMS-9050 controller; they are configurable
on the Setup screen of the ADS4 Platform
configurator. Refer to Configuring the
Alarm Settings on page 22 for more
information.
AC Hookup
1. Choose a power cord for the country of use.
3. Connect the cables from the AMC-7010
controller to the pedestals and other devices.
Refer to Figure 7, Table 1, and Table 2 for the
proper cables and wiring. Note: the Peripheral
Network Device, Door Sensors, and Relayactivated Device are optional devices.
Peripheral Network Devices – if the
system has peripheral network devices,
they attach to connectors P12 or P12.
Door Sensors – Door Sensors indicate
when a nearby door is opened or closed.
This allows the software in the Metal
Detection controller to disable the metal
detection alarms when the closing of a
door puts a large amount of metal near the
system.
2. Plug in the power cord. The controller
automatically senses the voltage (100-120Vac
or 200-240Vac). No adjustments are required.
WARNING—RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK! The ac power cord may carry
120Vac or 240Vac.
CAUTION: When using a power cord,
a socket-outlet must be installed near
the controller and in an easily
accessible location.

Mounting the AMC-7010
The AMC-7010 enclosure can be mounted next to
the AMS-9050 controller (see Figure 11) or above
it using the ZPMETAL-BKT-7010 Hat Bracket kit
(see Figure 12). The enclosure and controller must
be mounted in the proper orientation, as shown in
Figure 10.
Neither the AMC-7010 nor AMS-905 can be
mounted with the fan face up.
When the AMC-7010 and AMS-9050 are
mounted next to each other (instead of using
the mounting bracket), the sides of the AMC7010 and the AMS-9050 that have the
knockout holes must be mounted facing
each other and they must not be more than
15cm (6in) from each other or the cables will
not reach.
When the AMC-7010 and AMS-9050 are
mounted on top of each other (using the Hat
Bracket), the sides of the AMC-7010 and the
AMS-9050 that have the knockout holes
must be on the same side to ensure the
cables will reach.
If the AMC-7010 is mounted next to the AMS-9050
controller, the AMC-7010 must be mounted to the
wall or ceiling securely enough to support four
times its weight (5.9kg (13 lb)). Therefore, the
mounting method must support 23.6kg (52 lb).
If the AMC-7010 is mounted on top of an AMS
9050 controller using the Hat Bracket, the
controller and Hat Bracket must be mounted to the
wall or ceiling securely enough to support four
times the weight of the AMC-7010 and the Hat
Bracket-- 7.9kg (17.5lb). Therefore, the mounting
method must support 31.6kg (70lb.)
Drywall attachment – Use four 23kg (50 lb)
drywall anchors and four #8 screws at least
32mm (1in) long or their equivalents to
attach each of the enclosures to the drywall.
Ceiling attachment – Use a sheet of 16mm
(5/8in) plywood and four #8 screws at least
32mm (1-1/4in) long to attach the controller
to the plywood.

After the Filter board is installed, the capacitor
board in the pedestal must be re-tuned.
1. Turn on the transmitter.
2. Use the metal foil detection configurator to
select Epot Nulling to reset the Metal Foil
Detection system.
3. Tune the pedestal using the procedure
described in the Ultra•Exit Transceiver
Antennas Installation Guide, but use a starting
point from Table 3 (for 2.0m pedestals) or
Table 4 (for 2.4m pedestals) instead of the
ones listed in the manual. For 2.4m pedestals,
try the first set of jumper settings listed in
Table 2; if that doesn’t work, try the second set
of settings.
Even after changing the jumper settings, it is
normal to see a drop in current of 2-3 Amps for
the 2.0 meter system and 4-5 Amps for the 2.4
meter system.

WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK! Hazardous voltages are present
when the unit is on. DO NOT TOUCH!
WARNING: If the Tx/Rx cable was
installed using direct burial (that is, not in
conduit), the peak voltage in each
channel must be below 75Vp.
4. If the Tx/Rx cable was installed using direct
burial (that is, not in conduit), measure the
voltage at P1 on the filter board (green-to-white
and red-to-black) to ensure peak voltage in
each channel is below 75V
If the voltage is
p.
not below 75Vp, re-tune to ensure voltage is
below 75Vp.

Configuring the Metal Detection
Settings
On the Metal Detection screen of the configurator,
you read the level indicators and then configure the
appropriate settings for the site.
1. Configure the environment as it will be when the
store is open. Move any racks to their normal
place, open doors if they are open during the
day, etc.
2. Click on the Metal Detection tab. The Metal
Detection configuration screen appears. See
Figure 13.
3. Wait until the system calibrates. This occurs
when the Instantaneous Ref levels (green bars)
settle to near 0, the Epot values stop changing,
and the Rx Sum stops decreasing. This usually
takes less than a minute.
4. Test the system with the Foil Bag Simulator,
which is a 30cm x 30cm (1ftx1ft) sheet of
aluminum that simulates a foil-lined bag. (The
instructions for using the Foil Bag Simulator are
printed on it and are also described in Testing
the System on this page.) When you walk the
Foil Bag Simulator between the pedestals, does
the Rx Sum rise above the dynamic Alarm
Threshold (black arrow) and cause a metal
detection alarm but not exceed the Inhibit
Threshold (blue arrow)?
Yes. Go to Step 5.
No. Go to Troubleshooting and then return
to Step 5.
5. Without the Foil Bag Simulator in the detection
area, does the Rx Sum get close to the Alarm
Threshold or cause a false alarm?
Yes. Raise the Min Thr setting. If this does
not work, go to Troubleshooting.
No. Go to Step 6.
6. Does the site have shopping carts that pass
through this exit?
Yes. Enable the Cart Inhibit feature. Run a
cart midway between the pedestals and note
how high the Rx Sum gets. Adjust the Inhibit
Thr to a value below the high point to ensure
that the alarms will be inhibited.
No. Go to Step 7.
7. Does the site have doors with metal in them that
remain open in the detection zone during
business hours?
Yes. Go to Setting the Smart Threshold.
No. You are finished.
Setting the Smart Threshold
If exit doors with metal are opened during the day
(placing them close to the antennas) and closed at
night, this can lead to either insufficient sensitivity
during the day or false alarms at night. To solve
this problem, use the Smart Threshold feature.
1. Open all the doors.
2. Wait for the system to finish calibrating and
become stable.
3. Adjust the system for proper operation.
4. Enable the Smart Threshold.
5. Click the Set Offset button.
6. Note the value for the Alarm Threshold (the
black arrow).
7. Close the doors.
8. Wait for the system to finish calibrating and
become stable.
9. Note the value for the Alarm Threshold and
Inhibit Threshold. Did the thresholds increase
enough so that the system is not close to false
alarming with the doors closed?
Yes. You are done.
No. Increase the Smart Thr Gain and go
back to Step 5.
Testing the System
To test a system for its ability to detect foil-lined
bags, use the Foil Bag Simulator.
1. Hold the Foil Bag Simulator vertically when
walking between the pedestals. Do not lay it flat
or turn it sideways.
2. Walk with the Foil Bag Simulator midway
between the pedestals at a normal pace. Do not
hold the Simulator closer to one pedestal.
3. A system can alarm going IN only, OUT only, or
both; test in both directions if needed.
4. Repeat this procedure for any other pedestal
pairs that have metal detection.

Troubleshooting
If the system is either failing to detect metal or false
alarming, use the following procedure to determine
the cause and correct it.
1. Is the Rx sum stable? If it isn’t, check the Top,
Bot, and Diff receiver levels for stability.
Sometimes an unstable receiver level can be
caused by 58kHz interference from an adjacent
in-phase transmitter. This will be indicated by a
red Interference Indicator.
a. Adjust the Coil Filters if necessary. Increase
the value in increments of 2 units if the
mean Ref values (green arrows) change
too fast. Increasing Coil Filters too much,
however, can make the system sluggish.
b. Adjust the Weights, if necessary. If any of
the mean Ref (Top, Bot, Diff) values are still
unstable after adjusting the Coil Filters,
lower the Weight for the corresponding coil.
2. Are the instantaneous receiver levels for each
of the coils between -500 and +500?
Yes. Go to Step 3.
a. Enable Cart Inhibit and raise Inhibit
Threshold to a value above the high point of
the Rx Sum.
b. Adjust the Analog Gain setting, if
necessary. The Analog Gain default is set
to the maximum; you should lower it only if
the Rx Sum is at or near the top of the chart
when a cart or Foil Bag Simulator goes
through the field.
6. Does the Rx Sum rise near or above the
dynamic Alarm Threshold (the black arrow)
when the Foil Bag Simulator is not near the
system?
Yes. Raise the Min Thr setting.
No. You are done.
No. Click on Epot Nulling.
3. Are any of the Epot values near 0 or 255?
If Epot is near 255, set Attenuator to -6dB.
If Epot is near 0, set Attenuator to 0dB.
4. When the Foil Bag Simulator goes through the
field, does the Rx Sum fail to rise above the
dynamic Alarm Threshold?
a. Adjust the Scale setting, if necessary to
view the low-value Sum.
b. Adjust Min Thr. Lower it if the system
doesn’t alarm with the Foil Bag Simulator
and Analog Gain and Attenuator are already
at maximum values. Raise it if the system
false alarms or nearly false alarms.
5. When the Foil Bag Simulator goes through the
field, does the Rx Sum rise above the Inhibit
Threshold (blue arrow)? If so, do the following:

Configuring the Alarm Settings
On the Setup screen, configure the Lamps, Relays,
and Audio settings to the appropriate values for the
site.
Note: The relays you configure with the Relays
parameters are the relays in the AMS-9050
controller at P54, not the relays on the Metal
Detection Board at P9. The relays at P9 on the
Metal Detection Board activate only for metal
events for one second and are not configurable.
The following table shows how to configure the
Relay parameters for the event you want; the
Audio and Lamps parameters are configured
similarly.
Table 5. Configuring relays
The detector can be configured to alarm on three
events: a metal foil detection event, a jammer
detection event, and an EAS tag detection event. It
can signify any of these events in three ways:
trigger a relay, flash an alarm lamp, or emit an
audio alarm.
Note: If a customer does not want the audio alarm
to go off for metal foil detection events, set the
Duration and Volume to 0 (zero).
