Power Cord
Power cord length is 183cm (6ft). The cord attach-
es the external power supply to an ac outlet. The
type of cord used depends on the country of use.
Setup
A software configurator is used to setup the
controller. The configurator:
• Installs on a laptop computer that plugs into the
SERVICE port.
• Requires Windows® 2000 or XP operating
system software on the laptop.
Auto Synchronization
Enabled using the software configurator, auto
synchronization:
• Upon power up, automatically synchronizes the
controller to the strongest signal picked up by
an antenna.
• Enables the controller to sync its transmission to
other nearby EAS systems to prevent their
interference during tag detection.
• The Universal Sync standard (wired sync) is
supported on the NETWORK port as either
transmit or receive mode, and is set up in the
software configurator.
• If Sensormatic devices using wireless sync are
nearby, an RS-485 based Smart Remote that
plugs into the NETWORK port on the controller
can be used to achieve synchronization.
POS Integration
POS devices such as bar code scanners can
control deactivation when connected to the
SCANNER port.
• POS devices must be programmed with special
software.
• Voltage specifications are on page 13.
Networking
A Sensormatic peripheral device such as an EAS
detection system can send data to a store’s POS
network using the RS-485 and SCANNER ports.
The peripheral device must be programmed with
special software.

Product Limitations
Device Interaction
Nearby Devices
Deactivation affecting nearby devices. The
antenna’s deactivation field can affect devices such
as credit card and check readers (alone or in
keyboards). As a rule, keep these devices at least
30.5cm (12in) from the antenna. If they cannot be
moved further away, contact Sensormatic technical
support for guidance.
Nearby devices affecting deactivation.
Computer monitors, TVs, switching power supplies,
laptops, and neon displays can affect deactivation.
Keep the antenna as far from these devices as
possible.
Checkout Counters
Ferrous metal around the antenna can distort the
antenna field and significantly reduce label
detection. Always test the performance of the
antenna before modifying the counter.
Between Deactivators
Keep antennas at least 15cm (6in) from each
other.
Nearby Security Tags
Do not place detached hard tags within 30.5cm
(12in) of the antenna.
Deactivator Performance
The controller can deactivate no more than twice a
second. Maximum throughput of labeled
merchandise is 200cm/sec (80in/sec) unless
otherwise limited by the antenna.
Antennas
Maximum distance between an AMB-5182 antenna
and the controller is 2m (6.6ft) when using the
cable extension.
Installation
The controller can be placed on the countertop, or
using a mounting bracket attached to the underside
of the countertop or sidewall of the counter.
WARNING! When the controller is
mounted to a sidewall of a counter, its
cable connectors must face down.

INSTALLATION AND SERVICE GUIDE 11 of 14
Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting consists of basic troubleshooting
where no tools are required, or advanced trouble-
shooting where a service configurator is required.
Always complete basic troubleshooting before
performing advanced troubleshooting.
Note: If the Status LED is solid red, the controller
is not repairable. Call the Customer Response
Center for service.
Note: If the controller is to be exchanged for a new
one, no set-up is required; the new controller will
adapt the settings of the old one. Simply plug in all
cables and turn the controller on.
Basic Troubleshooting
Use this procedure when:
- Deactivator is not deactivating labels
- Deactivation is continuous
- Deactivation height is low
No Deactivation Occurs
Possible causes: No power, remote alarm module
removed or damaged, or tag on the fringe of the
deactivation area.
1. Ensure all cables are plugged into the
controller. Do not hot plug the antenna cable or
the power cable from the external power supply.
2. Is the external power supply LED solid green?
• No. Check external supply connections. If
OK, check the store’s breaker panel.
• Yes. Continue.
3. Check the color of the Status LEDs.
• Solid green—go to next step.
• Blinking green—Deactivation is disabled.
This can occur if the key on the remote alarm
module was turned to OFF. To enable
deactivation and to bypass any scan-enable
function, turn the key switch to ON. If LED
still blinks, see “Advanced Troubleshooting”.
4. Check if a tag is on the fringe of the Dx area.
• If a remote alarm module is used: A slow
‘beep’ indicates a tag is present.
• If the remote alarm module is not used:
Cycle power by briefly unplugging the
external power supply power cord. If the
Status LED is solid green and 2 to 3
deactivations occur immediately and stop, a
non-deactivateable label is present.
If no tag/label is found, call the Customer
Response Center for service.
Deactivation is Continuous
Possible causes: Non-deactivateable tag/label
within the deactivation area, or the antenna picked
up interference from nearby POS equipment.
- Locate and remove the offending tag/label.
- Try repositioning devices that may cause
interference such as card readers and displays.
Typically, these devices should be 30.5cm
(12in) from the antenna.
Tip: If these devices cannot be repositioned and
the antenna is placed on the countertop, try this:
Remove the antenna and rotate it horizontally
and vertically until deactivation stops. If the
antenna’s new position is acceptable,
troubleshooting is complete.
If deactivation continues, see “Advanced
Troubleshooting”.
Deactivation Height is Low
Possible causes: MMS on in the Universal service
configurator, noise, or certain materials in the
checkout counter. Actual deactivation height can
be below the Dx HEIGHT (see table on page 1)
caused by noise detected by the controller or
certain checkout counter materials. See “Advanced
Troubleshooting”.

INSTALLATION AND SERVICE GUIDE 12 of 14
Advanced Troubleshooting
Use this procedure only when basic troubleshoot-
ing did not solve the problem and:
• No deactivation occurs with a label over the
antenna
• Deactivation is continuous
• Labels outside the deactivation area trigger
deactivation.
Equipment required:
• Non-deactivateable hard tag
• Laptop computer with Windows® 95,
Windows 98, Windows 2000, or Windows XP
operating software
• Universal service configurator (downloaded to
the laptop)
• RS232 programming cable.
Before You Begin…
Turn on the controller and connect the laptop
computer to the SERVICE port using the RS-232
cable. Start the service configurator by clicking on
the desktop icon. The Setup Screen appears.
No Deactivation Occurs
If green LED on controller is not blinking. See if a
non-deactivateable hard tag or label is within
30.5cm (12in) of the antenna. If one is found,
remove it. If a tag/label cannot be found, call the
Customer Response Center for service.
If green LED on controller is blinking. On the
Config Ant screen for the antenna tested, ensure
HARD TAG CHECK and DETECT ONLY are
disabled. If not, disable them. If the LED still blinks,
call the Customer Response Center for service.
Deactivation is Continuous
The controller may be receiving in-band signals
from nearby POS equipment.
On the Setup screen, do the following:
1. Verify AUTO SYNC is enabled and click RE-
SYNC. If unexplained deactivation stops, you
are done. If not, continue.
2. Reduce Dx HEIGHT one level at a time until
unexplained deactivations stop. Write this level
down.
3. Set Dx HEIGHT one step higher.
Labels Outside Deactivation Area
Trigger Deactivation
The metal counter or mounting bracket may be
affecting the detection field causing it to be higher
than the deactivation field.
While holding a non-deactivateable tag above the
center of antenna, on the Ant Config screen for the
antenna, adjust DETECTION COMPENSATION
positive or negative until deactivation occurs only
when tag is at or below the Dx HEIGHT.
If deactivation stops and the deactivation height is
OK, troubleshooting is complete. If the deactivation
height is not OK, continue.
1. Ensure a label is not within the deactivation
range.
2. Cycle power by briefly unplugging the external
power supply from the ac outlet.
3. Once the status LED turns solid green, wait five
seconds and check the detection and
deactivation heights. If OK, troubleshooting is
complete. If not, call the Customer Response
Center for service.
