interference from external sources or does cause harmful interference to radio
communications reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,
please contact a Checkpoint Systems representative for further assistance.
RoHS Compliance Statement
The RoHS Directive stands for "the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and
electronic equipment." A RoHS compliant product means that electrical and electronic equipment cannot
contain more than maximum permitted levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium,
polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE). Checkpoint is in compliance
with the RoHS directive.
WEEE Compliance Statement
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) applies to companies that
manufacture, sell, distribute, or treat electrical and electronic equipment in the European Union. There
are a number of obligations imposed on Checkpoint as a supplier of electrical and electronic
equipment. Checkpoint's compliance approach for each of these obligations is provided below.

WEEE Marking
All products that are subject to the WEEE Directive supplied by Checkpoint are compliant with the WEEE marking
requirements. Such products are marked with the "crossed out wheelie bin" WEEE symbol shown below in
accordance with European Standard EN 50419.
Information for Users
According to the requirements of European Union member state WEEE legislation, the following user information is
provided in English for all Checkpoint supplied products subject to the WEEE directive.
This symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that the product must not be disposed of with normal
waste. Instead, it is your responsibility to dispose of your waste equipment by arranging to
return it to a designated collection point for the recycling of waste electrical and electronic
equipment. By separating and recycling your waste equipment at the time of disposal you
will help to conserve natural resources and ensure that the equipment is recycled in a
manner that protects human health and the environment. For information about how to
recycle your Checkpoint supplied waste equipment, please contact the Checkpoint
Systems, Inc. Field Service office in your region. Customers can obtain this information
from their system User’s Guide.
REACH Compliance Statement
The European REACH Regulation 1907/2006 on Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of
Chemicals (REACH), Annex XVII entered into force in June 2009, and affects all companies producing, importing,
using, or placing products on the European market. The aim of the REACH regulation is to ensure a high level of
protection of human health and the environment from chemical substances.
Checkpoint Systems’ substances management system follows and complies with the current revision of the REACH
Regulation on the substances as identified by ECHA (European Chemical Agency).
Checkpoint Systems’ products are considered articles as defined in REACH Article 3 (3).
These products/articles under normal and reasonable conditions of use do not have intended release of substances.
Therefore the requirement in REACH Article 7 (1) (b) for registration of substances contained in these
products/articles does not apply.
Checkpoint Systems’ products/articles do not contain Substances of Very High Concern or if there are SVHC in the
product/article, the content is less than the 0.1% (wt/wt) as defined by REACH Article 57, Annex XIV, Directive
67/548/EEC. Therefore the requirement in REACH Article 7 (2) to notify ECHA if a product/article contains more than
0.1% wt/wt of an SVHC and tonnage exceeding 1 tonne per importer per year is not applicable.
Checkpoint Systems’ European operations do not manufacture or import chemicals, therefore Checkpoint Systems
no obligation to register substances.
Packaging Compliance Statement
No CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons), HCFCs (hydrofluorocarbons) or other ozone depleting sub-stances are used in
packaging material. Chromium, lead, mercury, or cadmium are not intentionally added to packaging materials and
are not present in a cumulative concentration greater than 100 ppm as incidental impurities. No halogenated plastics
or polymers are used for packaging material. Checkpoint complies with the EU Directive 94/62/E.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The TR4240/TR7240 transceiver is the electronics PCB system of a pulse-listen Electronic
Article Surveillance (EAS) detection system which utilizes targets that are applied to
merchandise. Compared to TR4240, the primary electronics in this document (TR7240) features
advanced functions including network and serial communication, as well as enhanced
connectivity to peripheral devices such as people counters.
Checkpoint provides targets tuned to different frequencies in the HF ranges; 8.2 MHz, 7.2 MHz,
9.2 MHz, 9.5 MHz, etc… When an article of merchandise is purchased, the target is deactivated
which causes it to no longer resonate. The pulse-listen EAS system monitors one or more
detection zones (typically an area 3 feet on either side of the antenna) in the 7.2 MHz to 9.9 MHz
band, and triggers an alarm when a non-deactivated target is detected.
2.0 1GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The pulse-listen EAS detection system consists of three main components including the antenna,
the Primary Electronics, and the power supply. The antenna is constructed with two “canceling”
loop designs consisting of a 2-Loop, a 3-Loop, and a single-Loop which is a “shorted turn”
contributing to far-field EM cancellation. The Primary Electronics detects targets in the field of
the primary antenna in which it is mounted.
The TR4240/TR7240 PCB integrates both the processing logic controller, consisting of a
Blackfin DSP and a FPGA, and the analog section, consisting of two class D HF transmitters, a
direct sample HF receiver, an RF selector switch, and an ADC used to digitize a tag signal for the
FPGA to process. The detection method is known as “direct sampling” and addresses
environmental noise by identifying RF saturation in the local environment, and the electronics use
DSP to process the incoming RF signals for better accuracy and certainty of when a tag signal is
received (vs. noise). The external power supply is a switching mode with 24 VDC output voltage.
Depending on the power supply used, it could have 1.5A or 2.1A of output current capability.

4.0 POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Primary Electronics requires +24 VDC for operation. An AC-DC converter external power
supply rated at 24VDC nominal, 2.7A maximum, complying with IEC/UL 60950-1 2nd
Ed.+Am1 and evaluated to clause 2.5 (LPS) of the mentioned standards is required.
+24 VDC is supplied though power connector J18 or J31.
The pin assignments for the power connector are as follows:

+24V
Table 1: Power Connector Pin Assignments
The input +24V is converted to +12V, +5V, +3.3V, +2.5V and +1.2V through DC-DC converters
integrated within the PCB circuitry. Both switch mode and linear regulators are used.
5.0 DEVICE LABELING
The TR4240/TR7240 modules have been labeled with their own FCC ID number and if the FCC
ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the
finished product into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the
enclosed module. This exterior label displays this following:
MODEL: TR4240/TR7240 TRANSCEIVER
S/N: 10059624XXXXXXXXXX
Contains IC: 3356B-TR7240R
-or-
Contains FCC ID: D04TR7240R
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
