Note: Because customer requirements dictate the
placement of system components, your
Sensormatic representative will supply this
information separately.
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.

• 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

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.
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.

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

proceeding.

To connect the modem to the controller, do the
following:
Controller
If you are not connecting a modem to the
controller, skip this section.
When a modem is connected to the controller, a
remote computer can dial-up and connect to the
controller for remote service. The following
hardware is required:
• External modem – you must flash the modem
and set the dip switches before using. Refer to
the AMS-1070 Setup and Service Guide for
more information.
• DB25 male to RJ12/RJ11 female connector
• RJ11 male to RJ22 male cable

1. Prepare the DB25 to RJ12/RJ11 connector.
Follow the diagram in Figure 9.
2. Connect the DB25 connector to the modem.
3. Connect the RJ11 connector to the DB25 to
RJ12/RJ11 connector (Figure 10).
4. Connect the RJ10 connector to the
controller.
5. Connect the telephone line to the TO LINE
port of the modem.
If you are not connecting the controller to an RS485 network, skip this section.
You can network controllers two different ways.
The first way is to use the SyncLink port and the
Network port to daisy-chain the controllers. This
method is shown Figure 11. This method is only
possible, however, if the SyncLink port is not used
for the SyncLink feature.
If the SyncLink port is already in use (or will be in
use), you can network the controllers by
connecting an RJ-12 “T” adapter to the Network
port, as shown in Figure 12.
You can connect a maximum of 32 controllers in an
RS-485 network. More than 32 controllers requires
multiple networks.
The following equipment is required:
• RS232/485 converter – one for every 32
controllers
• RJ-12 connectors – must be 6-wire
• RJ-12 T adapter - available from Black Box
(part number CBCC47289)
• Cabling – you may use either flat telephone
cable or CAT5 cable. Only 3 wires are used.
CAUTION: Do not put the RJ-12

connectors on upside down. Reversing
the order of the conductors will connect
+5V to ground, which will damage the
controller.
CAUTION: Do not connect a Sync-Link
port directly to another Sync-Link port.
Doing so can cause damage to the
controller if one of the controllers is
turned off.

Table 7 and Table 8 show the pinouts for the
SyncLink and Network ports. To connect the
controllers in an RS485 network, you must connect
pin 1 of either the SyncLink port (method 1) or the
Network port (method 2) on one controller to pin 1
of the Network port on the next controller. Similarly,
pin 4 must connect to pin 4 and pin 5 to pin 5.
Figure 14 shows a service laptop connected to an
RS-485 network of controllers. W hen a modem is
connected to the network, a service laptop can
dial-up and connect to the controllers for remote
service. The following hardware is required:
• External modem – you must flash the modem
and set the dip switches before using
• DB25 male to DB9 male adapter
• Null modem adapter
• RS-232/RS-485 converter
