Preliminary
Controller Overview
An AMS-9030 controller is part of an Ultra•Max®
security label detector. The controller supports the
following system components, some of which are
shown in Figure 1:
• Two transceiver antennas or two pairs of Tx/Rx
antennas for tag and label detection.
• One remote alarm (optional), but the controller
supports two-alarm configurations with two
internal relays.
• Two noise canceling antenna kits to reduce the
effect of electro-magnetic interference
(optional).
• Four external devices, such as cameras,
activated by two relays in the controller
(optional).
• A service laptop for configuration and trouble-
shooting.
• A SyncLink transmitter to synchronize the
detectors with deactivators at the site
(optional).
• An Ultra*Link device (optional).
• An RS-485 network (optional). This manual
only describes how to connect a controller to
an RS-485 network. For information on setting
up an RS-485 network, refer to the AMS-9030
Setup and Service Guide.

G DO NOT use orange-colored outlets dedicated
for computer equipment.
Controller
G The controller can be placed on a shelf or
mounted on a wall. It can be hidden in a
remote location such as a back room or
basement.
G Provide a minimum of 20cm (8") of
unobstructed space around the controller for
ventilation.
G Use the appropriate power cord based on the
country of use.

the controller is 12.2m (40').

Preliminary
Mounting the Controller
The controller can rest on a shelf, which requires
no mounting procedure. It also can be mounted in
a ceiling or on a wall, which requires a mounting
bracket. If the controller is mounted in a ceiling that
is used for return air (environmental “other air
space”), an air handling option kit is required.
• Shelf-mounting – ensure the controller has
20cm (8”) clearance on all sides.
• Mounting controller to bracket – attach the
mounting bracket to the wall, ceiling, or counter.
To mount the controller to a wall:
1. Using the mounting bracket as a template,
mark four holes on the wall.
CAUTION: The mounting bracket can be
oriented vertically or horizontally, but it
must not be mounted with the keyholes
on the flanges upside, down as shown
below.
G If the system uses a transformer to power the
remote alarm, plug the transformer into a 24hour, unswitched outlet.
G Maximum cable distance from the controller to
each alarm unit is about 7.6m (25').
Tools and Equipment Required
For all controller installations:
• Hammer
• Phillips and slotted screwdrivers, including a
tweaker for the terminal block screws
• Wire strippers
• Pliers
• Cordless drill and phillips-head screwdriver bits
• Vacuum and broom

2. Drill holes into the wall and insert anchors.
Note: The mounting method must be able to
support 23.5 kg (52 lbs).
3. Secure the mounting bracket to the controller
using the four screws provided.
Preliminary
Connecting Antennas
Currently you can only connect Ultra*Post Pluscompatible antennas to the AMS-9030 controller.
The controller contains some connectors reserved
for future antennas. The table below shows where
you connect the cables. Figure 5 shows the
locations of the connectors.
Screws
4. Secure the mounting bracket to the wall. The
preferred orientations for the controller are with
the fan on the bottom or on the left side. It is
acceptable to mount the controller with the fan
on the right side.
CAUTION: Do not mount the controller
with the fan on top as shown in Figure 2.

Rules
The controller has two transmit channels (A and B)
and two receive channels (A and B). Observe the
following rules when connecting antennas to these
channels.
• The controller cannot transmit simultaneously
on both the A and B channels. It can transmit
on only the A or B channel or alternately on
both.
• The controller receives on both the A and B
channels simultaneously, even if it is only
transmitting on one channel.
• Pulling jumpers P25-P28 enables connectors
P22 and P23 as receive only and configures
P13 and P16 as transmit only. Jumpers P25
and P26 control the reception of the Antenna A
connector (P13 and P22) and jumpers P27 and
P28 control the reception of the Antenna B
connectors (P16 and P23).
• Before removing the knockouts in the controller
for the antenna cables, unscrew the knockout
plate from the controller to avoid bending the
tabs on the plate.
CAUTION: Bridging alarm signals
between two Comm ports (P15 and P18
or P14 and P17) will damage the
controller. This was done on some
Ultra*Post Plus controllers when an
antenna without a built-in alarm (for
example, Rangers) was used. Instead,
use the configurator to cause alarms on

one channel to activate the alarm on the
other channel.
Preliminary
CAUTION: Do not connect ferrite
receivers (for example, Rangers, Satellite
receivers) to the transceiver connectors
P13 and P16. They must only be
connected to receiver ports P22 and P23.
CAUTION: Do not plug antennas into
controller while the controller is on. Doing
so can damage the power amplifier or
power supply chip in the controller.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK! Do not adjust tuning jumpers
while controller is on. Doing so can
expose you to ac voltage and damage
the controller.
Connecting to P15 and P18
Connectors P15 and P18 are the Communication
connectors for antennas compatible with Ultra*Post
Plus antennas. Ultra*Post compatible antennas
can be divided into three categories: those with
12V alarm lamps, those with 5V alarm lamps, and
antennas without alarm lamps. The tables below
list the antennas that are compatible with the AMS9030 and which type of antenna they are.
Table 1. +12V Lamp antennas
ZSDDM DoorMax Antenna
The following two tables show how to connect the
+5V and +12V antennas; antennas without alarms
do not connect to P15 and P18. Note that
depending on how the controller motherboard has
been configured, pin 3 provides either +5v or +12V
for the antenna alarm lamp.
