About the Product
The AMS-1080 detection system detects EAS
tags/labels in food store checkout aisles, with each
aisle independently supported. The detector
consists of a controller and one of the following
antenna combinations:
- Up to two individual aisles supported with
transceivers.
For this setup, an AMS-1080 antenna is set up
as a transceiver in each aisle. The antenna
furthest from the controller requires a trench to
route its cables to the controller.
The AMS-1080 antennas in each aisle can be
set to alarm independently.
- Up to two individual aisles (A and B) supported
with improved detection or with backfield
reduction.
For improved detection, an AMS-1080 antenna
is set up as a transceiver in each aisle and a
pair of Ranger receive antennas (purchased
separately) are set up opposite the antenna.
For backfield reduction, the AMS-1080 antenna
is set up as a transmitter instead.
The AMS-1080 antennas in each aisle can be
set to alarm independently.
Antennas furthest from the controller require a
trench to route their cables to the controller.
- Up to two individual pairs of adjacent aisles
(A1/A2 and B1/B2) supported.
For each adjacent aisle, an AMS-1080 antenna
is set up as a transmitter on a railing post
between the two aisles and a pair of Ranger
receive antennas (purchased separately) are
setup opposite the each side of the antenna.
The alarm lamp in the AMS-1080 antenna
automatically signals which aisle a security
tag/label was detected.
Antennas furthest from the controller require a
trench to route their cables to the controller.
- Two AMS-1080 antennas set up at a doorway
either in alternating transmit-receive or dual
transceiver configurations. Alarms in both
antennas activate simultaneously.

INSTALLATION AND SERVICE GUIDE 3 of 18
Basic Operation
The AMS-1080 detector deters theft by activating
an alarm when it detects the unique response of an
active Ultra•Max hard plastic tag or disposable
label.
To detect a tag/label, AMS-1080 antenna(s)
connected to the controller emit a magnetic field
close to the tag/label’s natural frequency causing it
to vibrate or “ring” at the frequency of the field.
When the field is removed, energy in the tag/label
dissipates causing an exponential ring down.
The AMS-1080 antenna(s)—and ferrite (Ranger)
antennas, if used—pick up incoming signals and
send them to the controller which processes them
to determine if they are indicative of ring down. If
they are, then the controller activates an
audio/visual alarm indicator at the top of the AMS-
1080 antenna that detected the tag/label.
When the AMS-1080 antenna is positioned
between two adjacent checkout lanes, the visual
alarm indicator can be set to indicate the aisle
where the active tag was detected.
AMS-1080 Controller Features
The AMS-1080 controller features the following:
- Independent Tx and Rx connections that
support two transmitters and four receivers
- Supports up to two noise canceling coils
- Controls pedestal alarms
- Has “ac line synchronization” and “tag too close”
functions.
- Supports wired transmitter synchronization
- Is adjusted either on-site or remotely using a
laptop computer and AMS-1080 service
configurator software
- Built-in mounting flange enables it to mount
vertically to a wall or inside the checkout
counter. The controller can also rest on a shelf.
AMS-1080 Antenna Features
The AMS-1080 antenna features the following:
- Emits the detection field and receives the
tag/label signal
- Figure “O” and Figure “8” transmit coils in the
antenna combine to produce a field that
alternates between the top and bottom of the
antenna. These coils can also be set for
maximum field in the top of the antenna only or
the bottom of the antenna only. Maximum
operating current is 15A
- Mounts to the side of a wall or counter, or to a
railing post using hardware supplied
- Has an alarm lamp for each side of the antenna
- Has a “transmitter on” lamp that lights when the
transmitter is on
- Has two hardwired cables that connect to the
controller. Cable length is 7.6m (25ft). DO NOT
CUT! Shorter cables can reduce operating
performance.
Ranger Antenna Features
- Only receives the tag/label signal
- Mounts to a wall or counter opposite the AMS-
1080 antenna
- These ferrite antennas connect together as a
pair and have a hardwired cable that connects
to a “Auxiliary Receive” connector on the
controller.

Transmit Antenna (Tx1, Tx2)
These two connectors each receive a transmit
cable from an AMS-1080 antenna.
Receive Antenna
(Rx1, Rx2, Aux A, Aux B)
Connectors Rx1 and Rx2 each receive a receive
cable from an AMS-1080 antenna or from a ferrite
(Ranger) antenna. Connectors Aux A and Aux B
each receive a cable only from a ferrite antenna.
Each connector has a Coil 1 input (top of pedestal)
and a Coil 2 input (bottom of pedestal).
These connectors default to Rx function. Any
adjustment to default settings must be saved in the
controller for use on the next power cycle or
system reset.
When using noise coils, note the following:
- A noise coil is used to cancel specific noise
interfering with detector operation.
- Noise coils only connect to the Coil 1 input of
the Aux A or Aux B connectors on the controller.
- To accept a noise coil, the Coil 1 part of each
auxiliary input must be reconfigured to noise
canceling mode using the service configurator.
- By moving a noise coil around while monitoring
power levels on the service configurator, a
location can be found where noise cancellation
is best. This is where the coil is likely to be
installed.
- The location for noise coil installation must be
practical as well as yield satisfactory results.
RS-232 Network (Service Connection)
This 4-pin modular connector receives the cable
from a modem or laptop computer used to
communicate with the controller.
RS-485 Network
This connector supports network communication
and Sensormatic alarm logging and traffic flow
devices.
Wired Tx Sync
The wired Tx sync function is used to eliminate
interference from nearby detectors and deactiva-
tors. A wired sync device connected to this port is
automatically used as the timing reference for
system functions.
Note: The controller also provides for slower
sequencer level synchronization to allow two
antennas to be placed next to each other when
driven by different controllers.

INSTALLATION AND SERVICE GUIDE 6 of 18
Installation Features
Controller
- Ac synchronization
- Transmitter current control
- Integrated mounting flange to mount it to a
vertical surface inside the checkout counter.
Antenna
- 7.6m (25ft) Tx burial rated cable
- 7.6m (25ft) Rx burial rated cable
- Mounts to the checkout counter or pole
- No antenna tuning required.
Auto Synchronization
Auto synchronization occurs during power up or
system reset. Auto sync can have different
outcomes depending on whether or not nearby
EAS transmitters are detected, they are properly
aligned to the ac-derived timing of the controller, or
too much ambient noise exists.
No transmitters detected. During initialization, the
controller determines if EAS transmitters are
nearby. If none are found, transmitter delay is set
to zero if this is the initial power on, or set to the
value stored in the controller if not the initial power
on.
Transmitters detected:
- Transmitters detected and aligned. If
transmitters are correctly aligned, the
transmitter delay is calculated and stored in the
controller for reference.
- Transmitters detected and not aligned. If
transmitters are not aligned, the transmitter
delay is set to zero if this is the first power on of
the controller, or set according to the value
stored the controller if not the initial power on.
Too much ambient noise. During initialization, the
controller locates other nearby EAS transmitters.
- If ambient noise prevents the controller from
locating nearby EAS controllers and if this is the
first power on of the controller, transmitter delay
is set to zero.
- If this is not the first power on of the controller,
the zero crossing delay stored in the controller
is used.
Note: The controller stores the zero crossing delay
for when the controller could not determine a
reliable lock during subsequent power cycles.
Instead of using zero for the delay, the controller
uses the stored zero crossing delay.
Wired Synchronization
If a wired Tx sync device is connected to the
controller, the controller automatically uses its
signal as the timing reference instead of the ac
line. The service configurator indicates that wired
sync is active.
No Antenna Tuning
AMS-1080 antennas are sealed at the factory. No
tuning is necessary.
Transmitter Current Control
The controller checks current in each transmitter.
If current reaches a pre-determined level, the
controller indicates current is excessive and which
antenna is affected. The transmitter also shuts
down for one second and then resumes.
Antenna and Controller Mounting
The AMS-1080 antenna can mount to the side of a
wall or counter, or to a railing post in the checkout
aisle.
The controller has a built-in flange used to attach
the controller to metal, wood, or drywall using
suitable hardware. The wall and hardware must
support 13.3kg (29.4 lbs) or four times the weight
of the controller assembly.

INSTALLATION AND SERVICE GUIDE 7 of 18
Service Features
Service features are as follows:
- Laptop computer service configurator
- Internal diagnostics
- LED system status indicator
- Remote diagnostics via modem, Ethernet, or
RS485 network.
“Tag Too Close” Function
Using the service configurator, the “tag-too-close”
function can be selected to help prevent false
alarms. With this function selected, the red lamp on
top of the antenna blinks twice every four seconds
for one minute when the system detects one or
more stationary tags or labels are too close to it.
The lamp goes out when these tags/labels are
moved away from the system.
Tagged items must be kept at least 1.5m (5ft) away
from all sides of the antenna.
Service Configurator Software
Operating software required: Windows® 95, 98, NT,
2000, or XP.
Service configurator software downloaded to a
laptop computer is required to setup and
troubleshoot the controller. The service
configurator enables you to:
- Set antenna configurations
- Customize detection for each antenna
- Monitor transmit and noise levels from each
antenna
- Monitor transmit current from each antenna
- Customize alarm setup
- Turn off transmitters
- Monitor temperature inside the controller
- Download new software features/updates to
flash memory
- Provide a system error report.
Note: Special tools are not required when installing
the controller as long as antennas are installed in a
reasonable noise environment and local
transmitters are properly adjusted.
Note: If default settings are changed, you do not
need to turn the controller off and on to store them.
Internal Diagnostics
- The service configurator displays the operating
current for each antenna. Operating current is
15A peak for European or non-European
countries.
- The service configurator displays ambient
temperature within the controller.
- The hardware supports software with a remote
command to reset the system.
- Hardware within the controller protects it from
runaway software.
LED System Status Indicator
An LED system status indicator on the controller
indicates the following:
- Green flashing (system on and okay)
- Yellow flashing (performance downgraded;
service recommended)
- Red flashing in a particular sequence (fault
detected, call for service)
The number of red flashes identifies a digit in a
two-digit alert code (for example, four flashes is
the number four). The start of an alert code is
indicated by a long LED interval. Then the first
digit of the code occurs, followed by a short
delay, followed by the second digit.
Alert codes are listed on page 15.
Remote Diagnostics via an Ethernet or
RS-485 Network
Using a service laptop, service personnel can dial-
up and connect to a network of controllers to
troubleshoot problems and change controller
parameters (see page 16).

IMPORTANT! Keep the antenna at
least 5cm (2in) from metal surfaces.
3. Mark mounting-screw hole locations.
a. Build the mounting base assembly by
attaching the antenna mounting bracket to
the top of the mounting base using an M5
screw, washer, and locking nut. With the
mounting base assembly in its installation
position, the bends at the top of the bracket
must face away from the counter.
b. To place antenna clamps at the proper
mounting height, temporarily insert the top of
the mounting base assembly into the slot in
the bottom of the antenna. Then holding the
antenna clamps against the counter, and
with the antenna level, mark hole locations:
• In the counter for screws that will secure
the clamps,
• Directly behind the cable notch in the
spacer where cables exit the antenna,
• On the floor for two anchors that will
secure the mounting base.
c. Remove the antenna and mounting base
assembly.
4. Drill mounting holes.
a. Using a 5.5mm (7/32in) masonry bit, drill two
holes in the floor 54mm (2-1/8in) deep for the
anchor bolts.
CAUTION: If carpet exists, use a
knife to remove it from under the
mounting base to prevent carpet
runs caused by drilling.
IMPORTANT! Holes more than
60mm (2-3/8in) deep or less than
50mm (2in) deep may not secure
anchor bolts.
b. Directly behind the cable notch in the spacer
where cables exit the antenna, drill a 16mm
(5/8in) access hole in the checkout counter
for antenna cables to go to the controller.
c. Drill holes for screws that will secure clamps.
Note: If using self-drilling screws in sheet
metal, 3.2mm (1/8in) pilot holes may be
needed. Otherwise, drill a 6.4mm (1/4in) hole
for an M5 machine screw, washer, and nut.

Troubleshooting
System Status Alert Codes
The Status LED on the controller displays system
status alert codes. When an alert code occurs, the
LED changes color and pattern. Red is used for
serious alerts while yellow is used for those less
serious.
a. The number of red flashes identifies a digit in a
two-digit alert code (for example, four flashes is
the number four). The start of an alert code is
indicated by a long LED interval. Then the first
digit of a two-digit error code occurs, followed by
a short delay, followed by the second digit.
b. See the table opposite for the significance of the
alert code. Most alert codes are automatically
resolved.
c. Some codes can only be accessed using the
service configurator. They are not displayed by
the Status LED.
d. Alert codes are lost when the controller is reset.
Code storage has a time stamp in days, hours,
minutes, seconds, milliseconds/ ticks of when
the system alert occurred.
The following critical faults are backed with
hardware support and provide the necessary action
when encountered.
- Current fault 1 per channel
- Ambient temperature fault
- Primary current fault
- Secondary current fault
- Last resort current fault to maintain Class 2
wiring requirements.
Alert codes repeat until the condition is resolved or
a timer resets the system.
