About the Product
The AMS-9040 controller is part of a
four-channel EAS detector used to detect EAS
tags/labels at store exit(s). The controller:
- Supports transceiver (Tx/Rx) antennas, auxiliary
receiver antennas, and noise coils in any
combination up to the maximum specified.
- Supports controller-assisted tuning of Digital AM
antennas.
- Can power and control up to two remote alarms.
Also supports externally powered alarm devices
and beacon lamps, an alarm management
device, and a Sensormatic Sync Link wireless
sync device.
- Has four relays used to trigger externally-
powered alarm devices.
- Supports RS485 networking.
- Has connections for hardwired sync and
transmit inhibit functions.
- Can be placed on a shelf or mounted to a wall.
- Consists of an integral cable tray/mounting
bracket assembly and a controller housing that
attaches to it. Two captive ¼-turn fasteners in
the tray secure it to the controller.
- Nineteen knockouts in the cable tray support
exposed cables or cables in conduit. There are
designated knockouts for Class 2 wiring from
low voltage devices, Class 2 “wet” wiring from
an alarm management device, and Class 3
wiring from a transmit antenna.
- Three knockouts in the tray support an exposed
ac cable or the cable in conduit. A U-shaped
opening in the side of the tray allows access for
a power cord, if used instead of the ac cable.
Operation
The controller 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, the 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 controller processes signal inputs picked up by
the antennas to determine if they are indicative of
ring down. If they are, then the controller activates
an alarm.
Audible and visual indicators located on top of
each antenna indicate an active tag/label is
between the antennas. Alternately, the controller
can trigger a remote alarm module, or double-pole
double-throw relay, one for each antenna. The
controller can also trigger externally powered
devices such as a security camera.
- Antenna coils can be set to aiding or figure-8.
Maximum operating current is as follows for
each coil configuration:
Aiding Figure 8
Non-European 16A 16A
European (except Germany) N/A 12A
Germany N/A 10A
- Maximum cable length between antennas and
controller is 15.2m (50ft). Longer cables can
reduce performance and operating current.

transceiver antennas and families:
- Digital Door-Max*
- Digital Floor-Max*
- Digital Pro-Max*
- Digital Euro Pro-Max*
- Ultra•Loop
* Controller-assisted tuning applies. See page 7.
Transceiver connectors (P1, P24, P4, P35). Four
connectors support transceiver antennas
designated A, B, C, and D.
- Tx/Rx antenna A connects to connector P1.
- Tx/Rx antenna B connects to connector P24.
- Tx/Rx antenna C connects to connector P4.
- Tx/Rx antenna D connects to connector P35.
Antenna communication connectors (P5, P25,
P6, P36). Four connectors support controller-
assisted tuning of digital antennas.
- Com for antenna A connects to connector P5.
- Com for antenna B connects to connector P25.
- Com for antenna C connects to connector P6.
- Com for antenna D connects to connector P36.
General-Purpose Connections
(P27, P29, P31, P33)
Four connectors accept auxiliary receive antennas
such as Rangers, Digital Pro-Max, Sky•Max, and
Satellite receivers, and/or noise coils up to the
maximum allowed.
- These connectors default to Rx function with no
auto detection or support for noise canceling
coil support.
- To support noise cancellation, use the service
configurator to set these connectors to noise
canceling mode. Adjustments to default settings
must be saved in the controller for use on the
next power cycle or system reset.
Auxiliary receive antennas or noise coils connected
to the general-purpose inputs are designated A, B,
C, and D.
- Antenna/Coil A connects to connector P27.
- Antenna/Coil B connects to connector P29.
- Antenna/Coil C connects to connector P31.
- Antenna/Coil D connects to connector P33.
IMPORTANT! Each general-purpose connector
has a Coil 1 input and a Coil 2 input. Noise coils
can only connect to the Coil 1 input.
More about noise coils:
- A noise coil is used to cancel specific noise
interfering with detector operation.
- Only “Coil 1’ of a receive antenna can be used
as a noise coil.
- To accept a noise coil, the Coil 1 part of each
general-purpose 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, field
personnel find the location 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.

Installation Features
Installation features are as follows:
- Automatic detect and setup functions
- Controller-assisted antenna tuning
- Transmitter current control
- Wall mounted controller. Requires mounting
bracket with extension.
Automatic Detect and Setup Functions
Device Detect. The controller automatically
detects digital AM antennas, when they are
connected to the controller and the controller is
powered on. Once these antennas are auto-
detected, the controller sets them up as
transceivers and sets their sequence of operation
to “simultaneous-alternating” as shown below.
ANTENNA SEQUENCE
Digital Pro*Max Simultaneous–Alternating
Digital Door*Max Simultaneous–Alternating
Digital Euro Pro*Max Simultaneous–Alternating
Digital Floor*Max Alternating maximum
repetition rate is 45Hz.
Unknown Alternating maximum
repetition rate is 45Hz
(60Hz), or 37.5Hz (50Hz).*
* When an antenna without device identification, such
as an Ultra*Post secondary antenna, is detected,
the repetition rate does not exceed this value due to
de-rating of capacitors on the capacitor tuning circuit
board.
The controller also detects a SyncLink device,
when connected. See page 6.
Automatic ac line synchronization. Upon power
up or system reset, the controller automatically
adjusts its operation to the ac input’s frequency
and voltage.
Also, to avoid interference from nearby EAS
detectors, upon power up or system reset, the
controller automatically adjusts the ac-derived
timing of its transmit and receive functions to that
of nearby EAS transmitters, if detected. Auto sync
status is displayed on the service configurator.
Note: If a Sync Link device is connected to the
controller, the controller automatically uses its
signal as the timing reference instead. The service
configurator indicates that Sync Link is active.
Controller-Assisted Antenna Tuning
A series of LEDs on the tuning circuit board of a
digital AM antenna indicate to field personnel when
and where tuning jumpers are to be placed for
optimum antenna performance. For specific
information, see the installation guide supplied with
the antenna.
Note: Proper AC line delay must be selected
before performing controller-assisted tuning.
Transmitter Current Control
The controller allows transmit current to be
adjusted to the maximum allowed for the region of
use.
- The controller checks current in each transmitter
and the antenna coil configuration: aiding or
figure-8.
- If current reaches a pre-determined level, a
signal is sent to software that indicates current
is excessive and which antenna is affected. The
controller also shuts down the transmitter for
one second before operation resumes.
Mounting the Controller
DO NOT mount the controller with its fan
facing up!
Using the mounting bracket supplied, the controller
can be mounted as follows:
- On a shelf.
- On a wall. If required, use the extension bracket
provided to enable mounting screws to thread
into wall studs. DO NOT mount the controller
with its fan facing up!
- To a ceiling. Secure a piece of plywood larger
than the mounting bracket to the ceiling
structure that holds the drywall. Then attach the
bracket to the plywood.

- Set antenna coil configuration as aiding or
figure-8
- 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 (via pedestal inhibit port)
- Monitor temperature inside the controller
- Download new software features/updates to
flash memory
- Provide a system error report
- Separate a problem into one of three
categories: controller, environment, or the
device connected to the controller, such as
antennas or remote alarms.
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.
Operating software required: Windows® 95, 98,
2000, or XP.
Internal Diagnostics
The controller provides the following internal
diagnostics:
- The service configurator displays operating
current for each antenna.
- The service configurator displays ambient
temperature within the controller.
- The service configurator enables the controller
to be reset remotely after a software download.
- The controller has runaway software protection.
- Board diagnostics.
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
Remote diagnostics enables the use of a computer
at another location to troubleshoot problems and
change controller parameters.
- The controller must be connected to a properly
programmed modem and telephone line, or to
an Ethernet or RS485 network.
- An external adapter is required.

Sample Hookups
Because antennas and equipment can be
connected to the controller in various ways based
on the number of store exits involved, security
zones required, coverage desired, and customer
preferences, system configurations are too
numerous to describe in this document. Instead,
study the sample systems shown in this section to
provide a feel for how to connect these devices.

Troubleshooting
System Status Alert Codes
Fault Condition Monitoring
The controller generates alert codes. Software
reads the codes, reports them, and takes
corrective action if possible depending on the code
received. The following critical faults are backed up
with hardware support and provide the necessary
action when encountered.
- Current fault 1 per channel
- Fan fault
- Ambient temperature fault.
- Primary current fault
- Secondary current fault
- Last resort current fault to maintain Class 2
wiring requirements.
Alert codes require different actions: critical,
severe, hardware, and warning. These codes
repeat until the condition is resolved.
1. Critical. Critical and Fatal System Alerts are
displayed on the System Alert LED until a timer
resets the system. If the timer is not enabled, a
unique LED sequence indicates that this
condition has occurred and repeats
continuously.
2. Severe. Severe System Alert codes are
displayed by the System Alert LED and result
in the software recovering from the error in a
deterministic and reliable method.
3. Hardware. Hardware System Alert codes are
displayed by the System Alert LED and result
in the software and hardware working together
to recover from the error in a deterministic and
reliable method when the Alert is resolved.
4. Warning. Warning System Alert codes are
displayed by the System Alert LED and result
in the software recovering from the error in a
deterministic and reliable method.
When a status alert occurs, the LED indicator
changes color and pattern. Red is used for serious
or critical system alerts while yellow is for less
serious alerts and warnings.
- The number of red flashes identifies a digit in a
two-digit error code (for example, four flashes is
the number four). The start of an error 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.
- An alert code does not necessarily mean action
is taken; it simply is a notification that the
system is performing some operation. Most alert
conditions are automatically resolved.
- Up to 80 alert codes are displayed by the Status
LED, except codes that begin or end with a zero
such as 0-9 and 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80
and 90. Codes not displayed on the LED may
be accessed only via the service configurator.
- Alert codes are stored in RAM and 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.

Appendix A:
About Auto Sync
Note: Auto Sync is expected to be only about 80%
reliable due to external environmental issues.
Initialization Phase
Auto sync initialization occurs during power up or
system reset. During initialization, auto sync can
have four different outcomes depending on
whether or not nearby EAS transmitters are
detected, whether they are properly aligned with
the ac-derived functions of the controller, and
whether 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 NVM if this is not the initial power
on. The service configurator displays "No Signal”
and normal operation proceeds.
Transmitters detected and aligned. During
initialization, the controller determines if EAS
transmitters are nearby. If transmitters are found,
and are correctly aligned, transmitter delay is
calculated and set to that value, and the value is
stored in the controller for reference. The service
configurator displays “Locked” and normal
operation proceeds.
Transmitters detected and unaligned. During
initialization, the controller determines if EAS
transmitters are nearby. If transmitters are found,
and are not correctly aligned, transmitter delay is
set to zero if this is the first power on of the
controller, or if not, the delay value is set according
to the value retrieved from the controller and the
service configurator displays “Too Many Signals”.
Operation continues as normal. The user is
advised that system performance might be
compromised. The yellow LED flashes to indicate
system performance is downgraded.
Too much ambient noise. During initialization, the
controller determines if EAS transmitters are
nearby. If noise in the environment prevents the
location other transmitters and if this is the first
power on of the controller, the delay is set to zero.
If this is not the first power on of the controller, the
zero crossing delay is retrieved from storage within
the controller and the service configurator displays
“Too Much Noise”. Operation continues as normal.
The user is advised that the system performance
might be compromised. The status LED flashes
yellow to indicate system performance is
downgraded.
Note: The controller stores the zero crossing delay
for the instance when, during subsequent power
cycles, the controller could not determine a reliable
lock. Instead of using zero for the delay, the
controller uses the zero crossing delay stored.
Sync Link Detection
The Sync Link port is scanned for activity. If activity
is found, the controller automatically switches over
to using the Sync Link signal as the timing
reference. The service configurator indicates that
the Sync Link is active.
Note: If the Sync Link device does not receive the
timing reference signal, it will add up to 60
additional pulses (±100µs). If the controller stops
receiving the required pulse signals, it will measure
the delay from the zero crossing to the SYNCB
signal and start transmitting at that delay until it
reacquires the Sync Link pulse.
