Ultra•Max detectors and deactivators derive their
timing from the zero crossing of the ac power line.
Ultra•Max detectors and deactivators may interfere
with each other if there are ac line phasing
differences between systems.

The Phasing tool is used to synchronize the timing
of all Ultra•Max systems located in a store,
shopping center, or mall. A reference system is
selected and then all other systems are
synchronized to the reference system.

The basic steps to synchronize all systems are as
follows:

A. Set up a reference transmitter at the

B. Synchronize all other systems within the

C. Use the second transmitter to extend the

Repeat steps B and C until all systems in the
store, shopping center, or mall are
synchronized.

Operating Guide

Before you begin, do the following:

•

Survey the site to identify the location and type

of EAS systems present. Systems that can not
be phased may need to be upgraded.
Upgrading of older equipment should be
planned in advance.

•

Locate all possible sources of 900 MHz

interference including cellular, cordless and
computer equipment. Where possible, avoid
using either the transmitter or the receiver in
those immediate areas. No interference has
been found with wireless equipment but the
presence of such equipment will reduce the
effective range of the Phasing tool.

•

Based on the proximity of the systems to be

phased, choose a starting reference system.
This is often the most difficult part. Choosing
the right reference system can minimize the
amount of phasing required.

Begin with steps A and B and then repeat steps C
and B until all systems are synchronized.

1. Using the receiver, find the channel with
minimal interference.

Power on the receiver and rotate through the 8

available channels (position 0-7 only). Observe
the signal strength indicator and select the
channel with the lowest signal strength.

Channels with steady or fluctuating high

levels of activity will not provide the maximum

Battery
(in back)

Phase all of the systems first! Don't spend a lot of
time tuning systems until all systems have been
phased.

Cover as much area as possible from a single
transmitter location. There will be some error build
up for each time a new transmitter is used.

If you have a team of CE’s with several phasing
tools, you can efficiently phase an entire mall. See

2. Set up the transmitter.

a. Set the first transmitter to the same channel

as the receiver.

b. Locate a power outlet at or near the

reference system and plug in the first
transmitter.

CAUTION:

Make sure the power select fuse on
both transmitters is set for the correct ac
voltage. To change the setting, use the
blade of a small scewdriver to pry out the
power select module. Rotate and insert the
module so that the correct voltage (115,
125, 230, 250) is opposite the arrow.

Locate the transmitter in a clear and open area

that will provide the best possible line of site
to all of the systems to be phased.

Avoid locating the transmitter in the

3. Verify receiver operation.

a. On the receiver's signal strength indicator,

you should see a steady, strong signal.

b. Connect the output of the receiver to

channel 1 of an oscilloscope with the short
BNC cable and the sense coil to channel 2
with the long BNC cable.

c. Verify that channel 1 shows the proper ABC

signal from the transmitter. (One wide,
3ms, negative going pulse followed by two
narrow, 1ms, negative going pulses with a
separation of 5.556ms for 60Hz and

6.667ms for 50Hz.) Best viewed at
1ms/division.

4. Align the reference transmitter

a. Beginning at the transmitter antenna of the

reference system, place the sense coil
against or near the transmitter coil. Position
the coil for the strongest possible signal.

The sense coil is a cylindrical coil and is

Note:

very orientation specific. It must be in the
proper orientation for maximum sensitivity.

b. Verify that channel 2 shows the proper

transmitter burst signal.

In general, the reference system should

Note:

be one with

No Delay

. If the system has
been phased, you should consider first
setting it back to the

No Delay

default.

c. While watching the receiver signal and

burst signal on the oscilloscope, adjust the
Phase Adjustment pot on the first
transmitter so that the burst signal starts at
the

Falling Edge

(beginning) of any one of
the three pulses. Use the “180° Flip” switch
if more adjustment range is needed.

In general, you will want to make a

coarse adjustment with scope at a large
scale (e.g. 500µs or 1ms/division) and then
fine tune the adjustment with the scope at
50µs/division.

Depending on the type of system being

adjusted, there will be some timing jitter in
the signals displayed. In this case, adjust
the transmitter such that the jitter is divided
equally between leading and lagging.
