About the Product
An AMS-1070 controller is part of an Ultra•Max®
security label detector. The controller powers and
controls up to four transceiver antennas, two
optional remote alarm modules, and two noise
canceling antenna kits. Figure 1 shows the system
components.

Preliminary
❑ Shall thoroughly review the project to ensure
that all work meets or exceeds the above
requirements. Any alleged discrepancies shall
be brought to the attention of Sensormatic
Electronics.
WARNING!
Do not install this product in hazardous
!
areas where highly combustible or
Site Requirements
Refer to Figure 2 for description of site
requirements and placement considerations.
❑ Connect the controller to a 100-240Vac source.
No fuse exchange is required for the controller.
❑ Use the appropriate power cord based on the
country of use.
❑ Replace the controller’s slow-blow fuses only
with a fuse of the same type and rating.
Tools and Equipment Required
For all controller installations:
explosive products are stored or used.
Installation Requirements
Verifying Equipment and Unpacking
❑ Verify that all equipment has arrived. Make sure
the system configuration is the right one for the
installation site.
❑ Unpack major components in 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.
Installer/Contractor
❑ Shall have electrical work comply with the latest
national electrical code, national fire code, and
all applicable local codes and ordinances.
❑ Shall coordinate all work with other trades to
avoid interference.
❑ Shall verify existing site conditions and
coordinate with the owner’s representative and
appropriate utilities as required.
❑ Shall obtain copies of all related plans,
specifications, shop drawings and addenda to
schedule and coordinate related work.

Installing the Controller
The controller can be mounted on a wall or rest on
a shelf (no mounting procedure required).
• To mount the controller on a wall, proceed
to the section below.
• Otherwise, go to “Connecting the
Antennas and Remote Alarm Module” on
page 5.
The pack may be mounted in any orientation
except one. Do NOT mount the pack with the
power cord and connectors on top. See Figure 3.
Figure 3. Wall mounting orientations
NO!
OK
Preliminary
Figure 4. Attaching the mounting plate
5. Hang the controller onto the mounting plate
and slide it over to the left until it is secure,
as shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5. Attaching the controller to the
mounting plate

OK
1. Unscrew the mounting plate from the
bottom of the controller.
2. Select the mounting method.
The mounting method must be able to support
24kg (53 lbs.) if both the controller and the
deactivator are mounted together and 12kg (27
lbs.) if the controller is mounted by itself.
Therefore, the controller should only be
mounted to metal or wood, not to hollow walls.
For wood or metal walls, you can use 10 x 11/2” self-drilling phillips-head screws (P/N 58990031-01).
3. Using a level, position the mounting plate on
the wall and mark the four mounting hole
locations.
4. Attach the mounting plate to the wall with
screws.
6. If the power pack for a ScanMax Pro
deactivator is nearby, you can use the
ScanMax Pro mounting plate (Figure 6) to
mount the deactivator to the top of the
controller to conserve space.
Refer to the AMS-1070/ScanMax Pro
Deactivator Mounting Plate Installation Guide
(8200-0127-14) for the installation procedure.

Connecting the Antennas and Remote Alarm Module
The cables from the antennas and remote alarm
module are inserted into the Aisle A and Aisle B
connectors. Table 1 below lists the signals the
cables carry.

The correct wiring method depends on the antenna
configuration. The following sections describe how
to wire each of the basic antenna configurations
listed in Table 2. A tall antenna is an alarming
antenna; a short antenna is a non-alarming
antenna.

Short/short 0 2 1
Regular split 1 2 0
The EMI shields must be put on the antenna and
alarm cables before you connect the wires to the
connectors. Refer to the AMS-1070 EMI Shield
Installation Guide (8200-0127-12) before
proceeding.
