About the Product
The AMS-9050 controller is part of an EAS system
that:
- Includes pedestal type antennas.
- Deters theft by activating an alarm when it
detects the unique response of an active
Ultra•Max hard plastic tag or disposable label
when its signal is picked up by an antenna.
Installation Features
- Built-in mounting flange enables the controller
to mount to a wall or inside a checkout counter.
The controller can also rest on a shelf or attach
to a ceiling.
- Six knockouts receive exposed cables or cables
in conduit. Knockouts are available for Class 2
wiring from antennas and low voltage devices.
Setup Features
- Supports various pedestal antennas used to
detect tags/labels at exits or in food store
checkout aisles.
- Supports up to four AMS-1100/-1101 unicoil
transceiver exit pedestals, or up to four AMS-
1080 aisle pedestals, each with separate
transmit and receive coils.
- Antennas can be set up as four transceivers,
or four transmit/receive pairs, or combina-
tions of both using a laptop computer and
ADS 4 service configurator software. Two
receivers can be noise canceling coils.
Automatic configuration is available for the
commonly used system configurations.
- Antenna coils can be set for phase flipping
(default), aiding, or figure-8 operation.
Note: Phase flipping is unavailable when
noise canceling coils are used.
- Supports auto synchronization
- Supports the following alarm devices:
- Built-in alarm in the antenna (if used)
- Up to two externally-powered remote alarms
- Externally-powered Sensormatic alarm
management or traffic flow device
- Up to two relays for devices such as security
cameras.
- Connection for hardwired sync and transmit
inhibit function.
- Supports RS-232 (local diagnostics) and RS-
485 (remote diagnostics).
- Supports RS-485 network communication to
antennas (if supported by antenna).
Service Features
- The controller detaches from its cable access
panel to facilitate servicing.
- System status LED on controller displays error
codes used for troubleshooting.
Basic Operation and Setup
To detect a tag:
- Antenna(s) connected to the controller emit a
58kHz 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 a tag/label signal.
- If the controller detects a tag/label signal, it
activates audio-visual indicators on each
antenna that picked up the signal and/or
activates remote alarm devices, if used.
ADS 4 service configurator software enables the
field technician to:
- Adjust the system
- Synchronize the controller to other EAS
systems using the ac line, or wired
synchronization
- Monitor and adjust for noise interference and
use of a 58kHz jammer device
- Download software application updates
- Monitor internal temperature of the controller
- Perform diagnostic tests and read error codes.

For example, if using a:
- 1-2 dual pedestal exit system using two
AMS-1101 alarm antennas as transceivers:
- Set S1 switches 1–4 and S2 switches 1–4 to
“on” (switches 5–8 of S1 and S2 can be left
either on or off).
- Also ensure no receive antennas such as
noise coils are connected to the controller
when using transceivers.
- 1-2_3-4 dual pedestal exit system or 1-2-3-4
quad system using four AMS-1101 alarm
antennas as transceivers:
- Set S1 switches 1–8 and S2 switches 1–8 to
“on”.
- Also ensure no receive antennas such as
noise coils are connected to the controller
when using transceivers.
- Dual pedestal aisle system using two AMS-
1080 aisle antennas, one a transmitter, the
other a receiver: Set S1 switches 1–8 and S2
switches 1–8 to “off”.
- Noise coils: If using noise coils, turn off S1
switches 1–2 for RxC and/or S2 switches 5–6
for RxD.
Antenna alarm/Communication connectors
(P92, P93, P97, P100): Four connectors support
the antennas audio/visual alarms, transmitter/
alarms inhibit function, and peripheral RS-485
network communication.
Note: Transmitter/Alarms inhibit function and
peripheral RS-485 network communications are
only available in AMS-1101 antennas.
Receiver Connectors (P98, P99, P101, P103):
Four connectors accept up to four receive
antennas. Top coils use the Coil 1 connections;
bottom coils use the Coil 2 connections.
Noise canceling coils can also share two of these
connectors (P99, P103), with each coil using the
top coil (Coil 1) connection. If connecting a noise
canceling coil and a receive antenna into the same
connector, the top and bottom coils of the receive
antenna must share the Coil 2 connection (done in
the field by the technician switching the antenna
wire connections). Thus phase flipping is
unavailable when noise canceling coils are used.
Antennas/coils connected to receiver inputs are
designated A, B, C, and D. These connectors
default to receive function with no auto detection.
ABOUT NOISE CANCELING COILS: Noise
canceling coils, such as a Ranger antenna or the
top coil of a pedestal antenna, are used to cancel
noise that interferes with detector operation.
- Noise canceling coils only connect to the Coil 1
input.
- To accept a noise canceling coil, the auxiliary
input must be in noise canceling mode (set
using service configurator software). Save
adjustments to default settings if they are to be
used on the next power cycle or system reset.
- Move the noise canceling coil around while
monitoring power levels on a laptop computer to
find where noise cancellation is best. This is
where the coil should be installed.
- The location for the noise canceling coil must be
practical as well as yield satisfactory results.

INSTALLATION AND SERVICE GUIDE 6 of 16
Relay connectors (P54): The controller has two
double-pole, double-throw (DPDT) relays, each
configurable using service configurator software.
Each relay:
- Triggers devices such as externally powered
remote alarms, time-lapse VCRs, and security
cameras; one device per detection zone.
- Accepts three wires and a shield. Cable shields
share one pin on the connector.
Remote alarm connectors (P63, P64): This
connector can control up to two externally-
powered digital remote alarms, such as an
AMS-1060.
RS-485 network connector (P8): This connector
supports RS-485 communication for remote
diagnostics.
Wired Tx sync connector (P2): This connector is
used to wire two or more AMS-9050 controllers
together to synchronize them to avoid cross
interference.
RS-232 service connection: Protected by a cover
plate on the controller, the RJ-22 connector
receives the cable from a laptop computer that is
used to locally setup and diagnose the detection
system.

Installation Features
The AMS-9050 controller provides the following
installation features:
- Auto Synchronization
- Wired Synchronization
- Transmitter Current Control
- Controller Mounting.
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.
Transmitter Current Control
This function enables you to inhibit the transmitter
and/or alarms of the desired pedestal using the
Tx/Alarms inhibit switch located in the top of
antennas that support this function.
Controller Mounting
The controller has a built-in flange used to attach
the controller to a wall or ceiling using suitable
hardware.
- Ceiling attachment requires plywood be first
attached to the ceiling and then the controller
attached to the plywood.
- Structure and mounting hardware must support
25.6kg (56.5 lbs) or four times the weight of the
controller assembly.
AMS-9050 CONTROLLER 8200-0537-02, REV. B
INSTALLATION AND SERVICE GUIDE 8 of 16
Service Features
The AMS-9050 controller provides the following
service features:
- “Tag Too Close” function
- Service configurator software
- Internal diagnostics
- LED system status indicator
- Remote diagnostics via an Ethernet or RS-485
network
- Transmit/Alarm Inhibit function
- Detachable cable access panel.
“Tag Too Close” function: Using the service
configurator, you can select the “tag-too-close”
function 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 the 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 all 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 13.
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 14).
Transmit/Alarm Inhibit function: This function
enables you to inhibit the transmitter and/or alarms
of the desired pedestal using the Tx/Alarms inhibit
switch located in the top of antennas supporting
this function.
Detachable cable access panel: By removing six
screws from the perimeter of the cable access
panel and disconnecting cables, the electronics
can be removed for easy servicing or replacement
without disturbing cabling.

System Setup
1. Ensure controller power is off.
2. Connect antenna cables to the controller
according to how the antennas are intended to
perform. Refer to diagrams and tables on pages
3 and 4 of this guide. See examples of pedestal
installations in the antenna installation guide.
3. Set DIP switches S1 and S2 in the controller for
the pedestal type, number of pedestals, and the
antenna configuration used (see page 5).
4. Turn on the laptop computer and launch the
ADS 4 service configurator.
Note: For instructions on how to use configurator
settings, click Help on the configurator.
IMPORTANT! Ensure the controller power is off.
Never restart or boot up a computer connected to
an active controller. Doing so disables the mouse
function on the computer.
5. Turn on the controller and connect the laptop
computer to the service port.
6. Using the “Setup” page on the configurator:
a. Check that antenna selections match
antennas physically installed. If not, check
antenna connections to the controller.
b. Setup parameters for lamps, audio, relays,
and remote alarms.
7. Using the “Tx Configuration” page, set Tx
current for each antenna and enable/disable
transmitters, if necessary.
8. Pass an active security tag by each antenna to
verify antenna performance. Refer to Help if
monitoring or adjustments are necessary.
Verifying Operation
Check that the antenna alarm lamp lights when a
tag/label is passed through the checkout aisle, or if
the system is covering adjacent aisles, that the
lamp lights only in the aisle the tag/label was in.
If the pick rate is acceptable, installation is
complete. Reattach the top cover.

Troubleshooting
Note: Should the electronics require servicing or
replacement, detach the electronics from the cable
access panel as follows:
1. Loosen the four top screws and detach the
cover from the controller.
2. Unplug all cable connectors and the ac power
cord.
3. Remove six screws securing the cable access
panel to the controller.
4. On the left side of the controller, loosen the two
screws holding the controller to the wall.
5. Lift the electronics enclosure up and off the wall.
System Status Alert Codes
The System Status LED on the controller displays
system status alert codes. When an alert code
occurs, the LED changes color and pattern. Red is
for serious alerts while yellow is 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
- 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.
