CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION, FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY.DWG. 476736 PAGE 51.0 System Description1.1 System OverviewCheckpoint's C/PT IX deactivation system dramatically cuts inventory shrinkagelosses from customer shoplifting and employee pilferage when used in conjunctionwith a Checkpoint electronic article merchandising system. Although not foolproof,C/PT IX can reduce losses in retail stores so effectively that the savings will quicklyexceed the system's cost. This manual describes how to install, tune, and test theC/PT IX system.A complete C/PT IX system consists of one chassis, one or two pads or scanner antennas and targets attached to protected inventory. The pad rests on the top of the checkout counter where tagged merchandise can pass over it. The chassis is usually mounted under or inside the checkout counter. Clerks deactivate these targets at checkout. If someone should try to exit through the sensing system with an active target, an alarm sounds. The manager can then intercept and verify the item has been properly purchased.1.1.1 How the System WorksOne chassis can drive up to two pads or up to two scanner/deactivators or acombination of both. A random pulsed-RF signal is generated by the chassis.This signal is sent through a cable or cables connected to one or two padscreating a RF field above the pad(s). When a Checkpoint target enters thefield, it responds to the chassis' signal by resonating and emitting a signal of itsown. Depends on its operating modes, the chassis either picks up the target'ssignal, and amplifies the subsequent pulses to destroy or deactivate the target,or operates in the high power mode to destroy or deactivate the target all thetime.1.1.2 System EffectivenessIt is possible to subvert the C/PT IX system. For example, targetedmerchandise can be deactivated by customers, then concealed. Customerscould also remove targets from protected merchandise. Customers can learnthese and other tricks to evade security measures.Most theft loss arises from impulsive shoplifters, who sense an opportunity tosteal and spontaneously act to take advantage of it. C/PT IX, in conjunctionwith a sensing system, acts effectively to discourage these casual shoplifters, and they seldom learn how to defeat this system.

CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION, FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY.DWG. 476736 PAGE 61.2 ChassisThe chassis is mounted inside or under the checkout stand so that it is within 8 feet of an AC power outlet, 7 feet of a pad, 5 feet of a scanner antenna.On the unit’s face are:• a recessed power switch,• an access hole to the internal volume control,• a green LED ( POWER ) that lights when power is on,• a red LED ( ALARM ) that lights when a live tag is detected,• a green LED ( SLAVE ) that lights when the C/PT IX is locked in slaved mode,• a yellow LED ( DISABLE ) that lights when the C/PT IX is inhibited. On the unit’s back are: • a 6-pin female connector for antenna connection,• three access holes for power, slaving, interlock, inhibit, and remote unit cables. 1.3 Power Supply and C/PT resettable fuse The standard C/PT IX chassis operates on 90 - 264 VAC 50/60Hz /15 VDC supplywith a current rating of over 1.0 A. The C/PT IX uses a resettable fuse. To reset thisfuse, turn off power, wait 1 minute and turn on power. 1.4 Remote Unit When the C/PT IX is configured in IV or VI mode, a remote unit is needed. On the remote unit’s face are: • a recessed power switch,• a green LED that lights when power is on,• a sonalert that beeps when a live tag is detected by the C/PT IX.1.5 AntennaThe C/PT IX chassis can be used with a variety of antenna configurations.Checkpoint or some scanner manufacturers produce these antennas.1.6 TargetThe C/PT IX system is compatible with all 8.2 MHz deactivatable tags. In addition, the C/PT IX will alarm when a non-deactivatable tag is placed in its field, but it will not deactivate the tag. Occasionally, non-deactivatable paper tags ( those with lower than average breakdown voltage ) will be deactivated, especially when placed near a corner of the pad where field strength is greatest. The CSE should be aware of this rare event.

CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION, FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY.DWG. 476736 PAGE 93.2 Antenna Connection3.2.1 Pad ConnectionC/PT IX can drive one or two pads or scanner/deactivators. The cable lengthfor the pad is 8 feet. (Don’t alter the cable length under any circumstance)Place each pad in position on its counter. The maximum distance between thetwo pads that are connected to a single chassis is 12 feet. The best performancecan be achieved if the pad cable run straight out of the pad for at least 6”(15 cm) before it changes direction. See Figure 3.2.1. If the direct pad-chassisroute takes the cable back under the pad, beneath the counter top, it’s best toroute the cable along the center of the pad. See Figure 3.2.1. Ensure thatdeactivation remains as transparent to the checkout process as possible. Connectthe pads cables to either ANT1 (pin 1,3 of J1) or ANT2 (pin 4,6 of J1) withdrain wires to GND (pin 2 or 5 of J1) on the C/PT IX. See Figure 3.1 for thedetail.Figure 3.2.1 Pad Connection

(Don’t alter thislength under any circumstance) Extend the scanner antenna cable by 6 feetusing the 4-WAY connector or the buttsplice and the cable (Belden 8760 #18) provided with the installation kit. See Figure 3.2.2. Connect the antenna cable to either ANT1 (pin 1,3 of J1) or ANT2 (pin 4,6 of J1) with the drain wire to GND (pin 2 or 5 of J1) on C/PT IX. See Figure 3.1 for the detail. C/PT IX ScannerFigure 3.2.2 Scanner Connection3.3 Slaving ConnectionWhether or not the C/PT IX should be slaved to other EAS systems or deactivationsystems depends on the environment of the site, the layout of the system, and thesettings of the system. Refer to Table 8.1 as a guideline for the minimum distancesrequired between the various EAS systems and the C/PT IX. If you are not sure,temporarily plug in and turn on the C/PT IX, attach the oscilloscope probe to theappropriate test point of the EAS systems receivers as you test for poor detection andphantoms.NOTE: The C/PT IX doesn’t have MASTER SLAVE OUTPUT. It cannot be slaved to each other unless a master source such as an EAS system or fiber master exists.3.3.1 Wire SlavingConnect the slaving input cable from the master source to Slave In (pin 5, 6 of J4). Connect the slaving output cable (daisy chain) to Slave Out (pin 3,4 of J4). Ground for wire slave is pin 2 of J4. See Figure 3.1 for the detail. 6 feetConnectorOrButtsplice

CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION, FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY.DWG. 476736 PAGE 196.0 C/PT IX Tune Up and Test ProcedureIf you haven’t already done so, follow the standard procedure to tune the sensing system to Checkpoint’s specifications BEFORE tuning the deactivators.6.1 Center Frequency and Deviation VerifySince the C/PT IX uses pulse-listen technology, it’s difficult to measure the centerfrequency and the deviation using regular tools. Also, since the C/PT IX uses DDS(Direct Digital Synthesis), the frequency band can not be adjusted. Use dip meter andthe ear phone to verify the center frequency and the deviation. You shouldhear the clicking sound with your earphone from 7.6 –8.7 MHz when you sweep thefrequency using the dip meter. See Figure 8.1.6.2 IV ModeFollow step 5.2 to configure the chassisDetection Field AdjustmentWhen in IV mode, the detection field should be adjusted properly to achieve the best performance.To insure that tags will be detected before they are deactivated adjust R11 toits minimum setting which is approximately 0.7 VDC. See Figure 8.1.Sensitivity adjustmentWhen in IV mode, the sensitivity of the receiver should be adjusted properly to achieve the best performance.Adjust GAIN (R4) all the way clockwise (maximum) to achieve betterdetection. If phantoms occur, adjust GAIN (R4) counterclockwise slightlyuntil the phantoms stop.Test the detection height using standard 410 test tag. The detection height should be comparable to the numbers listed in Table 8.2. If the detection height is less than expected, go to Appendix A for the detailed tuning.6.3 V ModeFollow step 5.3 to configure the chassis. Test the deactivation height using live 410tags. The deactivation height should be comparable to the numbers listed in Table8.2. If the deactivation height is worse than expected, go to Appendix A for thedetailed tuning.

CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION, FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY.DWG. 476736 PAGE 206.4 VI ModeFollow step 5.4 to configure the chassis. Test the deactivation height using live 410tags. The deactivation height should be same or better compared to the numberslisted in Table 8.2. If the deactivation height is worse than expected, go to AppendixA for the detailed tuning. Test the detection height using standard 410 test tag, itshould be at least 6” or higher if a pad is used.6.5 Interlock Turn-On Time AdjustmentWhen the interlock function is used, adjust INT TIME (R98) clockwise to increasethe interlock Turn-On time from 0.2 - 10 seconds in LO mode (SW3-3 OFF) and 1min– 10 min in HI mode (SW3-3 ON). See Figure 8.1.7.0 After The InstallationWait until after installation and tuning to show the customer personnel how the deactivatoroperates. Ensure that site management is present and let them designate which siteemployees will attend. If you have just installed a sensing system and deactivators, explainthe sensing system operation first, then follow with the deactivator operations, as follows:7.1 Turning the Deactivator On and OffThe deactivator should be turned off when not in use to prevent unauthorizedpersonnel from deactivating tags.Show the operation of the power switch, and point out the green light on the chassis,which shows that the power is on. If the sensing system control module is Model N orlater, mention that a key is required to activate the system. If the sensing system isthe master in a slaved configuration, indicate that it must be on before thedeactivators will function.7.2 How the Deactivator WorksShow how the deactivator operation is similar to the sensing system in that bothsystems transmit radio signals which cause tags to respond with their own radiosignals when they come into range. Explain that each system's receiver recognizes thetag signal then verifies it. Then explain that the difference between the two is whateach does with the verified tag signal. The sensing system alarms loudly upon tagverification. The deactivator alarms softly at the chassis and disables the tag. Whendeactivation is immediate, there will be no audible alarm.7.3 When the Tag Doesn't DeactivateExplain that tags vary in length of time required to deactivate. Some tags deactivateinstantly, while others take longer. It may be that a very few wouldn't deactivateautomatically. If this should occur, just place a Thank You label over the tag.Mention that any hard tags, hang tags, or non-deactivatable stickers also will notdeactivate automatically. Clerks must either remove these tags, or mask them with a

CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION, FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY.DWG. 476736 PAGE 21Thank You label. For these tags, the deactivator acts as a point of sale detector. Itcontinues to alarm softly until the tag is removed or masked.7.4 When the Sensing System AlarmsEmployees should follow their management's standard procedure for handling sensingsystem alarms, just as if there were no deactivators in the store. If there is nostandard procedure, make a mental note to encourage management to set one. Waituntil after you conclude the training meeting to avoid embarrassing management infront of the employees.7.5 Testing the DeactivatorEmployees should turn on the deactivator before use and turn off the deactivatorwhen unattended. An employee verifies power by viewing the green light on thechassis. Beyond checking the power on switch, there isn't much need to test thedeactivator's function because it will be immediately apparent should a unit fail todisable tags.Show employees how to test for deactivation in case site management should want totest a unit. In IV and VI modes, use a hard tag, hang tag or non-deactivatable sticker.Hold it about 18" (46 cm) above each deactivator pad and bring it down slowly to thepad's surface. Point out alarm occurs at about 10.5" (27 cm) height. Take adeactivatable sticker and move it down in the same manner. Observe the signal stopsas the tag gets closer. Try to alarm the deactivator again with the same tag to verifythat it has been disabled. Make sure that this activity doesn't alarm any otherdeactivator or sensing system. In V mode, use DV1000 and live 410 tags to test thesystem.7.6 Operational ProblemsGive site management the telephone numbers used for calling Checkpoint serviceabout equipment problems. Detail how to avoid potential problems by keepingpermanent tags and stickers and also metal objects away from the deactivator pads.7.7 TaggingShow how deactivatable stickers can now be hidden in protected merchandise.Remind the customer that metal and foil objects usually can't be protected by pressuresensitive tags. Detail that all procedures for tagging merchandise covered in theUser's Guide apply also to deactivatable tags. Detail the necessity of maintaining atagging system, use of merchandise value or theft activity to decide whichmerchandise to tag, and the need for following an established procedure when thesensing system alarms.8.0 Figures and Tables

Use of 6 feet, #18 cables for the scanners2. Use of 8 feet, #18 cables for the pads3 Free of any interfering RF systems in an open environment4. Use of standard 410 test tag in V mode testing5. Use of standard 410 tags in IV mode testingIn actual installation, these settings may be changed for proper performance of the C/PT IX due toenvironmental variations. If you are not able to tune the C/PT IX following the normal tuningprocedure detailed in previous chapters, refer to this chapter for fine tunings.A.1 Detailed Tuning in IV ModeTo fine tune the C/PT IX in IV mode, change switches SW1 and SW2 so that the averageamplitude of the AC signal at ANT (TP2) is both maximized and as flat as possible. Startwith SW1 and SW2 all off and turn on the DIP switches two at a time beginning at position(1). The following is an example of tuning 12 x 12 pad.Scope Settings:Ch1: Voltage: 5.00v/div Triggered on Ch1Time: 50us/divTest point: TP1Maximized IntensityA1.1 AC Signal at ANT (TP2) with SW1, 2 ( 1 ) On
