This section contains procedures for installing dual
pedestals or installing one pedestal with dual
ranger antennas.
Installing DualInstalling Dual e eMax PedestalsMax Pedestals
The eMax detector consists of a transmit pedestal
and a receive pedestal. Two ranger antennas can
be used instead of the receive pedestal, see
“Installing Ranger Antennas”, page __.

3. Ensuring the end of the interconnect cable
exits the top of each base and extends .3m (1
ft) above it, secure each base using anchors
supplied.
4. For transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) pedestals,
ensuring the cover screws are facing the exit,
connect the cable exiting the pedestal to the
interconnect cable exiting the base. Also for
the Tx pedestal, position the power cord in the
outside groove of the base as shown.
With cover screws facing the exit, slip each
pedestal over its base. Press down for a tight
fit.

To install the transmit pedestal with the
interconnect cable routed through the floor, see
page __. To install the transmit pedes tal with the
interconnect cable routed over the doorway, do the
following:
Dual Pedestal Installation with Dual Pedestal Installation with
Cables Over DoorwayCables Over Doorway
This procedure shows how to install a transmit
pedestal (the one with the power cord) and a
receive pedestal with their intercon nect cable
routed over the exit between them.
IMPORTANT! The transmit pedestal can be
installed either on the right or left side of the exit. In
this example, the pedestal is mounted on the right
side of the exit and the receive pedestal on the left.
Note: If the transmit pedestal is to be connected to
240Vac, see page __.
5. Plug the pedestal -side of the extension cord
supplied int o the power cord exiting the base
and the other end of the extension cord into an
AC outlet (a green lamp at the top of the
transmit pedestal will light).
Note: A red lamp will blink once every 4
seconds to indicate that the system is looking
to avoid noise from nearby electronic
equipment or to sync to the quietest ac line
phase (auto phasing). Auto phasing can take
from 1 to 20 minutes depending on noise
encountered.
Note: Once auto phasing completes, the
pedestal emits an audio/visual alarm for 2
seconds to indicate it is ready for routine
operation. If the red lamp starts to blink twice
every 4 seconds for one minute, then tagged
displays may be too close to the system. See
“False Alarms” on page __.
6. To check system performance, hold a known
good security tag perpendicular to the
antennas and walk it through each boxed area
shown, stepping out from between the
antennas each time. The transmit pedestal
should alarm each time the tag approaches the
area between the pedestals.
1. Place pedestal bases 1.2m (4 ft) apart, centerto-center, ensuring they are equidistant from
the door frame. Using a pencil, mark the
outline of each base and mounting hole
locations. Move the bases out of the way and
drill mounting holes 9cm (3 -1/2 in.) deep using
a 1.25cm (1/2 in.) drill bit.
2. Run 7.6m (25 ft) interconnect cable supplied
through Wiremold supplied from base to base.

This procedure shows how to install a transmit
pedestal (the one with the power cord) and a
receive pedestal with their interconnect cable
routed through the floor between them.
IMPORTANT! The transmit pedestal can be
installed either on the right or left side of the exit. In
this example, the pedestal is mounted on the right
side of the exit and the receive pedestal on the left.
Note: If the transmit pedestal is to be connected to

1. Place pedestal bases 1.2m (4 ft) apart, centerto-center, ensuring they are equidistant from

outline of each base and mounting hole
locations. Move the bases out of the way and
drill mounting holes 9cm (3 -1/2 in.) deep using
a 1.25cm (1/2 in.) drill bit.
2. Cut a 2cm (3/4 in.) deep by .6cm (1/4 in.) wide
trench in the floor between the bases.
Ensuring ends of the 3m (10 ft) interconnect
cable supplied will exit the top of each base
and extend .3m (1 ft) above it, lay the cable in
the trench and cover it with appropriate floor
material (see instructions supplied with
material for application and drying time).
5. Plug the pedestal -side of the extension cord
supplied into the power cord exiting the base
and the other end of the extension cord into an
AC outlet (a green lamp at the top of the
transmit pedestal will light).
Note: A red lamp will blink once every 4
