2.4 Test
ALWAYS test the device for performance on-site before making holes in the cash desk. Every environment is different and the
original plan may need to be modified!
2.5 Connect Controller to PC
Requires Windows XP or later
Install software and then connect the USB Hardware Key to the PC and to the RJ11 port on the controller.
The Hardware Key is used as a USB converter, and for security. Only 1 key is needed for each technician, it is NOT left
at the installation with the system.
Open the Smart EAS Configurator AFTER the hardware driver is finished installing. Make sure the controller is powered
ON.
Select “Serial” communication.
The system will scan the COM ports on the computer. Select the correct COM port and press “Connect”. If multiple
COM ports show up in the list, you may need to try each one to find the correct port.
If you are unable to connect to the scanned COM port, you can manually find the correct COM port on your PC

GAIN: The deactivator sensitivity is set by the GAIN slider. Set this value based on label deactivation height and
interference. Default value is 3
o For deactivators, the main cause of interference will be LCD screens at the cash desk. If you have interference
due to the screen, try orienting the screen or the pad in a different angle, or place the pad farther from the
screen.
SOUND: Adjust the volume of the sound for label detection or turn it off completely
TRANSMITTER ON/OFF: Turning off the transmitter will disable the device
DEACTIVATION ON/OFF: Turn off the deactivation function if you would like to just use the device as a tag/label
checker
COUNTERS: The deactivator will count deactivations and save to memory. If deactivation fails 3 times (this number can
be changed on the SYSTEM page – number of attempts to deactivate) in succession, it will be counted as a non-
deactivatable tag.
2.7 Software – Synchronization
It is recommended to first install the AM system, and then install the deactivators and synchronize to your AM
system. All AM systems and deactivators must be synchronized!
Figure 2 – Unsynchronized Deactivator
The figure above shows an un-synchronized deactivator. The red signal indicates all signals in the environment including any
other AM systems or deactivators. Select HOLD MAXIMUM and READ DATA to view these signals.
To synchronize, simply select AUTO SYNC, move the slider, or enter a value in SYNC DELAY to move your deactivator TX signal
(blue) on top of the red pulses. A synchronized deactivator is shown below.

The deactivator pulses at a rate of 75Hz, as does the AM system. The graph displays 1 period of the mains frequency (20 msec)
so for this reason you will see 3 pulses.
VOLTAGE ZERO CROSSING allows you to switch polarity of detection of the mains frequency. This is like physically changing the
polarity of the power wires and shifts your signal by 10 msec, or 180 degrees.

2.7 Software – Other Pages
SYSTEM PAGE: Recommended to leave default settings
RTC PAGE: Synchronize internal clock to your PC if the deactivator will be connected to internet for remote service
ACCESS CONTROL: For future use
EVENTS: Allows the technician to view events that have occurred on the deactivator for troubleshooting purposes.
Events include On/Off status, deactivations, errors, etc.
COMMUNICATION: Change the bus address if the deactivator will be connected to internet for remote service
