![- 4 - 1. IntroductionThe XQ MK2 Units are the successors of the XQ series internal OS/T electronics. The complete redesign has many new features: • Powerful transmitter (4 watt)• Attenuator setting can be done for every aisle separately • Attenuation jumpers are replaced by a rmware setting• Integral customer counting• Integral Metal detection, fully (remote) congurable with OS/T congurator1.1 XQ MK2 RX (R2)1.2 XQ MK2 Tx (T2)The Tx units come with a 4 watt transmitter, which can be switched on with a special functionality module.1.3 | 4 Watt transmitterThe advantages of the new transmitter are:• Aisle width between panels can be proximally 10 % more for the same labelOR• Distance between the panels will be the same and smaller labels can be usedOR• To suppress interference from other systems](https://usermanual.wiki/Nedap-N-V/XQMK2.Installation-manual/User-Guide-1526097-Page-4.png)
![- 5 - In combination with an AIM module (Aisle Improvement Module) the full features of the transmitter can be used.1.3.1 The AIM (Aisle Improvement Module)The module increases the power up to 4Watt. All antennas suitable for the XQ Mk2 internal units with metal detection will be suitable for 4 Watt (effective power). The outside of the antenna will be marked with a ‘4W’ addition to the serial label. Inside the antenna the will be a label“Suitable for 4 W “1.4 New AttenuatorThe advantages for the attenuator are:• Easy installation• Additional external attenuators are not necessary anymore• Hardware jumper settings are replaced through software settings• Useful for aisles with different aisle width, example system with 2 aisles• First aisle width is 1.60 meters• Second aisle width is 1.00 meters1.5 Performance IndicatorFirmware version 1.8xx and up contains performance indicators. This means that it is possible to actually trace the delivered system performance. A Nedap EAS system contains several different signal processing functions, which are mapped to several different hardware units. For example we have a power supply, a sweep generator, a transmitter, a receiver, and deactivation units. To moni-tor the performance of the system from bird’s eye view we have to look at and integrate all performance indicators of each comprising unit. The actual data integration is done off line, in the TOPserver and or Easinet.For all OST units we need performance indicators:1. Performance indicator for a power supply. A measure which indicates in time the actual delivery of good power. In practice as long as the system is working the power is considered to be good. So this performance is not separately monitored. System uptime is used as indicator.2. Performance indicator for a sweep generator. A measure which indicates in time the actual delivery of good sweeps to the system. In practice as long as the system is working the sweep generator is considered to be good. This performance is not separately monitored. System uptime is used as indicator. 3. Performance indicator for transmitters. A measure which indicates in time the actual delivery of good sweeps to the transmitter panel. Interruptions of the power delivery due to AGC actions are monitored. This is a new performance indicator.4. Performance indicator for receivers. A measure which indicates in time the actual reception of clean sweeps from the panel. This is not explicitly monitored.And a measure which indicates in times the actual level of external noise. This level must contain all detection prohibit-](https://usermanual.wiki/Nedap-N-V/XQMK2.Installation-manual/User-Guide-1526097-Page-5.png)
![- 6 - ing signals. This signal is monitored. This is the second new performance indicator. With these performance indicators it should be possible to monitor accurately the performance of the system. These indicators cover the primary detection function. Also the communication is checked continuously of course. Altogether it is expected that the most frequent occurring disturbances and failures are covered. Some mechanical failures are not covered, like receiver antennae wire failures. To cover these type of events it is sufcient to look at the occurrence of label detection events at all. If alarm events occurs one can safely assume that the system is not dead yet. The most important feature is the logging of EAS detection performance over time. Covered events are downtime due to power outages, loss of transmit signal due to AGC events, occurrence of alarms, and environmental noise which degrades the detection performance’s. Of course it is not possible to distinguish between false alarms and true label alarms, because if that would be possible then all false alarms could be eliminated beforehand.5. Performance indicator for standalone label deactivation units. A measure which indicates in time: • the actual delivery of good power• the actual delivery of good sweeps to the system• the actual delivery of good sweeps to the antennaThese parameters are covered by the system uptime indicator. • the actual reception of clean sweeps from the panelThis parameter is monitored by the receiver (type) performance indicator.2. Block diagramsThe XQ MK2 Transmitter with integral customer counting and metal detection.2.1 Network communication and syncThe XQ units are slave-only, they need an RF signal originating from a master output . This could be an NCC, SQ unit or TDC unit. The RF signal has a frequency of four times 8.2 MHz and sweeps between 30.... 36 MHz.The RF signal is used to drive the transmitters as well as the receivers. The Coaxial cable between master-output and slave input is also used to distribute DC power and data-communication2.1.1 Hand-terminal-connection (K100)A standard NEDAP RS handheld terminal (HT) may be connected to connector K100. With this HT you can edit the various local settings. With this terminal all digital settings can be made, even if the network is nonfunctional.Some settings can only be adjusted by using an OS/T Conguration ManagerEspecially the Metal detection settings are only possible with the congurator](https://usermanual.wiki/Nedap-N-V/XQMK2.Installation-manual/User-Guide-1526097-Page-6.png)
![- 7 - 2.1.2 data communication over coaxOne of the important features from the OS/T system is the data-com over the coax-cable. With this feature it’s no longer necessary to use an extra data-cable between the units, which simplies the installation of the system. All the connected units are interrogated periodically by the master. If there are messages like an alarm on a connected Rx unit, then the mas-ter unit will process this and takes the necessary action: Sending a command to turn on the lamps on the activated aisle.The XQ MK2 unit has two slave-sync connectors (K101 and K102) from which the unit can be driven from a NCC-4, SQ, or TDC unit. DC supply is from the sync-connectors. 2.2 TransmitterThe Transmitter generates an 8.2 MHz RF signal with a maximum power level of 4 Watt to feed the transmitter antenna. The transmitter receives its RF reference signal and conguration data from the local communication control section.The start-pulse is distributed as a 1 microsecond break of the RF signal (32 periods) and indicates the start of the 1.6 ms sweep. All timing of the OS/T-system is related to this start-pulse.The RF signal (with a 30 till 36 MHz sweep) for the power amplier is divided by for 4 to create the 8.2 MHz transmitter sig-nal. The power amplier consists of a class D MOSFET driver stage. The square wave output is ltered to achieve a cleaner carrier. The 50 ohm output impedance is regulated by measuring output current and output voltage and adjusting the drive signal of the MOSFET power stage accordingly. These two output parameters are measured with a current transformer and a capacitive voltage divider circuit at the output stage. From these signals a phase control signal and the amplitude control signal are derived. Both signals can be seen on the test connector. The signals are the feedback to the driver stage.2.2.1 anti-deactivation regulationIf a RF label comes close to the antenna, it could be deactivated by the transmitter eld. To prevent this phenomenon a tag detection circuit is used. A tag close to the antenna can be detected by looking at the antenna signal. A resonating tag in proximity causes a small phase-disturbance in the antenna impedance, which can be seen on the phase control signal of the transmitter. When in a sweep a tag pulse is found the processor can reduce the transmit power in the next sweep to prevent deactivation of the tag. After the tag signal disappeared the transmit power is gradually increased to the desired power level.2.2.2 output multiplexerThe transmitter can feed one antenna. The RF signal is switched during the y-back period of the RF sweep. The multiplexer is a 1 out of 2 type build with PIN diodes. In the y-back-period the antenna is switched off.The second output of the multiplexer goes to an internal dummy load. This is used for multiplexing when more than one aisle is used. The “unused” phases can be dumped in the dummyload.The antenna-output has his own lamp-control-circuit and can be switched on or off individually. The lamps are controlled by software. The outputs have open, overload and short-circuit detection. These signals are under processor control.The lamp control circuit is also used for driving the new-style (two-wire) buzzer.2.2.3 tx output power setting](https://usermanual.wiki/Nedap-N-V/XQMK2.Installation-manual/User-Guide-1526097-Page-7.png)
![- 8 - Default power setting is 2 Watts. This is suitable for almost every situation. With large aisle withs (2 meters or more) it can be usefull to increase the power to 4 watts.2.3 ReceiverThe Receiver detects the tag signals generated by tags in the aisle formed by a transmitter panel and a receiver panel. Even very small signals can be detected to achieve a very high pick rate. Aided by heavy use of digital signal processing the false alarm rate is very low, even under difcult noise conditions. The receiver receives its RF reference signal and conguration data from the local communication control section.The antenna is connected to K202. Every sweep the antenna canl be connected to the receiver. This is done in the multiplex-er circuit. After the multiplexer an attenuation stage can be used to reduce the level of direct feed through in case of very close antenna distance. The attenuator can be selected as 0, -6dB, -12dB and -18dB. The setting is possible with the hand terminal (under the sensitivity menu) or with the OS/T Conguration Manager.A new feature is the possibility to set the attenuator per phase. The reference RF signal is split in four phases and fed to two mixers together with antenna input. Each mixer generates a LF signal which is ltered, amplied and muted in the y back period of the RF carrier. The mute circuitry consists of several stages which are controlled by software. The mixers are fed with 90 degrees phase shift. The resulting LF signals are further processed by the digital signal processor (DSP).The DSP uses digital memory to store the past quarter of a second to compare different sweeps and improve on noise level and other unwanted signals components. The ltered signal after processing can be seen on the scope by looking at the DAC signal.2.3.1 input multiplexerThe receiver can process two antenna signals. This means that at most 2 antennas can be connected. The antenna signal is switched during the y back period of the RF sweep. The multiplexer is a 1 out of 2 type build with PIN diodes. In the y back period all antennas are switched off. Antenna input 1 (K202) has his own lamp control circuit and can be switched on or off individually. The lamps are controlled by software. The outputs have an open, overload, and short circuit detection. These signals are under processor control.The secondairy antenna input (K201) is only meant for oor antennas and has no lamp/buzzer functionality.2.3.4 processorThe XQ MK2 series boards (Tx and Rx) have only one processor for RX, TX and Communication control.The processor has several different tasks. It must maintain the status of the transmitter and receiver and controls several functions:• lamp detection• lamp/lamp overload• multiplexer• data communication• handheld terminal communication• customer-counting 1x2 inputs](https://usermanual.wiki/Nedap-N-V/XQMK2.Installation-manual/User-Guide-1526097-Page-8.png)

A new version can be distributed over the network. After downloading, ashing and verifying a new version the unit resets and is operational again. This can be done remotely.2.3.5 customer countingThe XQ MK2 PCB has customer counting on board. Two sensors can be connected to monitor the entrance with direction sensitivity.The passage between sensors is shaped and buffered and processed by the processor. In this way incoming and outgoing label alarms can be counted for separately.The sensor power output is 12 V dc. It is possible to connect sensor with positive or negative going output signals.2.3.6 test-connectors K200: The receiver test-connector shows 3 analogue signals to aid in installing and servicing the receiver section. For easy external triggering a start pulse is available.The transmitter test connector shows the analogue signals needed to align and verify the transmitter.2.4 Dummy loadsDummy loads are no longer needed for the XQ MK2 PCB’s. Unused channels will be programmed as channel “0”.](https://usermanual.wiki/Nedap-N-V/XQMK2.Installation-manual/User-Guide-1526097-Page-9.png)
