ADS Floor•Max antennas, positioned at an exit,
are part of an Ultra•M ax security label detector that
deters t heft . One or two ADS Floor•Max in-floor
antennas are attac hed to a power pac k through a
capacitor boar d enclosure.

In st allation Requiremen ts
Verifying Equipment and Unpacking
Verify that all equipment has arri ved. Mak e
❑
sure the system configuration is the right one
for the installation site.
Unpack major components i n a back room. At
❑
the install site, lay out parts in the order you will
need them. Do not clutter the aisle or cause a
trip hazard.
The capacitor board is in a cardboard
Note:
sleeve taped to t he bottom of the ante nna
shipping box. The PVC leveli ng legs are inside
one of the cardboard support r ibs on the end of
the box.
Installer/Contractor
Shall have electrical work comply with the
❑
latest national electr ical code, national f ire
code, and all applicable local codes and
ordinances.
Shall coordi nate all work with other trades to
❑
avoid interfer ence.
Shall verify existing site conditions and
❑
coordinate w ith the owner’s representative and
appropriate utilit ies as requir ed.
Shall obtain copies of all related pla ns,
❑
specificatio ns, shop dr aw ings and addenda to
schedule and coordinate relat ed w or k .
Shall thoroughly re view the project t o ensure
❑
that all work meets or exceeds the above
requirements. Any alleged discrepa ncies shall
be brought to the attentio n of Sensormatic
Electronics.
Chemical Interaction
WARNING!
!
Do not install this product in hazardous
areas where highly combustible or
explosive products are stored or used.
Antenna Placement and Cabling
Whenever possible, keep t he antennas at least
❑
2.4m (8') away from noise sources suc h as
computer monitors, TV’s, switching power
supplies, a nd neon displays.
Maximum cable distance from the antennas to
❑
the capacitor board enclosure is 12.2m (40').
DO NOT splice antenna cables.
Maximum cable dista nce from the power pac k
❑
to the cap board enclosure is 2m (7').
WARNING!
!
DO NOT compromise the structural
integrity of the floor by cutting or removing
rebar. Contractors must obtain approval for
all proposed structural changes. All
structural changes must meet national and
local requirements.
CAUTION:
cost t o the in- floor instal lation, check detector per formance and label detection height at the exact
installation s ite. Do this BEFORE cutting the floor
and again BEFORE pouring the concrete.
❏
Loca te panels i nside the facilit y and as c lo s e to
exit doors as possible.
❏
To provide 1.8m (6') of coverage widt h per
panel, space panels no more than 25-30c m
(10-12") apar t. Spacing of 25cm (10") is
recommended.
❏
For On Grade installatio ns, the pane ls must be
between 3cm (1.25") and 5cm (2") below t he
surface of t he finished floor.
❏
For Off Grade installation, the pa nels must be
1.25cm (.5") below the surface of the finished
floor.
❏
For On Grade installatio ns, no metal such as
rebar or wire mesh should be located under or
adjacent to t he antenna. If metal is required, it
must be spaced great er than 21cm (8") from
the bottom and 31cm (12") in all other
directio ns from the antenna.
❏
For conduit runs, use 3/4-inch Electrical Metal
Tub i ng (EMT) or rigid conduit (
the maximum run not to exceed 10.5m (35') t o
allow adequate cable length for system
connectio ns. Some local codes requir e r igid
conduit instead of EMT for concrete burial.
Some local codes require steel hardwar e in
concrete to be coat ed by tape or paint before
burial.
❏
Use two separ at e conduit runs for each
antenna. Conduit r un must be a minimum of
20cm (8") fr om the antennas. Conduit ca nnot
cross above or below t he antenna. It must be
routed around the perimeter .

❏
All conduit fittings must be rain/concrete tight. A
3/4-inch EMT fitting is s upplied with the
antenna. A rigid 3/4-i nch rain/concrete tight
fitt ing may be substituted. Wrap t hreads w ith
four turns of Teflon pipe tape.
❏
Minimize underground conduit couplings to
prevent moisture i ntrusion.
❏
Hi gh stre ngth, non-me tallic, non-shrink
mortar/ concret e w it h a compressive strength of
5000 psi is required.(For example, FX- 228
mortar mix and FX-752 bondi ng agent by Fox
Industries)
❏
Mort ar cure time depends on the mix and
temperature of t he mortar ingredients.
❏
Avoid walking on antenna cables duri ng
installation.
❏
Heavy forklifts can pass over the mortar after
24 hours, provided the mortar is protected by
3/4-inch steel plates.
Have on hand tools and equipment necessary
❑
to place the mortar once it is mixed.
Enclosure
❏
Mount the cap board enclosure as close to t he
power pack as possible. M aximum dista nce
from the power pack to the enclosure is 2m (7').
Install a heater in enclosures i n sub-fr eezing
❑
environments.
If conduit is not used, use Romex connectors
❑
wherever cables enter the power pack and
capacitor boar d enclosure.
