About the Product

The AMS-9060 controller is part of an EAS system
that:

 Includes Ultra•Exit or Pro-Max 5 antennas used

to detect tags/labels at exits or in food store
checkout aisles.

 Deters theft by activating an alarm when an

antenna detects the unique response of an

active Ultra•Max

label.

The AMS-9060 controller provides the following
installation features:

Antenna Support

The AMS-9060 controller supports up to two
(ZS9060-2) or four (ZS9060) transceiver exit
pedestals, or the same number of aisle pedestals,
each with separate transmit and receive coils.

Antennas can be set up as four transceivers, or
four transmit/receive pairs, or combinations of both
using a laptop computer and ADS 4 service
configurator software. Two receivers can be noise
canceling antenna coils. Automatic configuration is
available for the commonly used system
configurations.

Antenna coils can be set for phase flipping
(default), aiding, or figure-8 operation.

Note: Phase flipping is unavailable when noise
canceling antenna coils are used.

Alarm Support

The controller supports the following alarm
devices:

– Built-in alarm in the antenna (if used)
– Two externally-powered remote alarms such

as AMS-1060 digital remote alarms

– Up to two relays for devices such as security

cameras

– Externally-powered Sensormatic alarm

management or traffic flow device.

Auto Synchronization

Auto synchronization occurs during power up or
system reset. Auto sync can have different
outcomes depending on whether or not nearby
EAS transmitters are detected, they are properly
aligned to the ac-derived timing of the controller, or
too much ambient noise exists.

hard plastic tag or disposable

Preliminary

No transmitters detected. During initialization, the
controller determines if EAS transmitters are
nearby. If none are found, transmitter delay is set
to zero at initial power on, or set to the value stored
in the controller if not the initial power on.

Transmitters detected:

 Transmitters detected and aligned. If

transmitters are correctly aligned, transmitter
delay is calculated and stored in the controller
for reference.

 Transmitters detected and not aligned. If

transmitters are not aligned, transmitter delay is
set to zero at initial power on of the controller, or
set according to the value stored the controller if
not the initial power on.

Too much ambient noise. During initialization, the
controller locates other nearby EAS transmitters.

 If ambient noise prevents the controller from

locating nearby EAS controllers and at initial
power on of the controller, transmitter delay is
set to zero.

 If not initial power on of the controller, the zero

crossing delay stored in the controller is used.

Note: The controller stores the zero crossing delay
for when the controller could not determine a
reliable lock during subsequent power cycles.
Instead of using zero for the delay, the controller
uses the stored zero crossing delay.

Wired Synchronization

If a wired Tx sync device is connected to the
controller, the controller automatically uses its
signal as the timing reference instead of the ac
line. The service configurator indicates that wired
sync is active. See the Wired Sync Hookup
Installation Guide for wiring.

Controller Mounting

The controller has a built-in flange used to attach
the controller to a wall or ceiling using suitable
hardware.

Manual Voltage Selection

The voltage range (100-120 or 220-240 Vac) of the
controller must be manually selected at installation.

Conduit Support

Eleven knockouts receive exposed cables or
cables in conduit. Knockouts are available for
Class 2 wiring from antennas and low voltage
devices.

Implanted Medical Devices

This anti-theft system complies with all applicable
safety standards. However, people with implanted
electronic medical devices may ask if the store has
an anti-theft system and its location. Although most
anti-theft systems are easily seen, some can be
concealed. To help these people, do the following:

Consider Health and Safety

Place the anti-theft system antennas so customers:
 do not linger near or lean on them while making

their purchase

 are only near the front of them while exiting the

checkout area.

For exit systems, place anti-theft system antennas:
 Close to exit/entrance doors, encouraging the

customer to pass through them. DO NOT use
antennas intended for exits in an aisle
configuration.

 Away from fixtures, equipment, amusements,

and other signage that can attract customers to
them.

Apply “Anti-Theft” Signage

 “Anti-Theft” labels are placed on each antenna,

including those hidden behind door frames and
other structures. DO NOT cover these labels
with other signage.

 In non-English speaking countries, apply “Anti-

Theft” labels in the local language to the

antennas. For hidden antennas, apply an “Anti-

Theft” label in the local language to each side of

the door frame facing the doorway about 1.2m
(4ft) above the floor. Order local language
labels (2412-0170-XX) from your distribution
center.

 To improve customer awareness of the anti-

theft system, encourage the store to display
signs that state it has an anti-theft system.
Order awareness materials through your sales
representative.
