2PLANNING GUIDE FOR BETA TESTSTP POWER PAD DEACTIVATOR8000-2599-01, Rev. AAbout the Deactivator The STP Deactivator (Figure 1) reliably deactivatesSensormatic UltraStrip II and Ultrastrip III securitylabels during the bar-code scanning process when:• Installed immediately downstream fromthe bar-code scanner.• UltraStrip II and III security labels are properlyapplied to items• Labeled items are moved properly across theantenna on their way to the bag well or baggingstation.The deactivator consists of a hidden power pack, acountertop antenna with interconnect cable.• ZBSTP-PK-1 power pack controls antennaoperation. At the rear of the pack is an acreceptacle for an 3m (10') power cord. In frontis a power on LED; connections for theinterconnect cable, an optional remote LEDboard or remote indicator module (see options),a laptop configurator, POS integration, andRS485 port; and DIP switches (SW1) for phaseand sensitivity adjustments. A bracket enablesthe pack to attach to the underside of acountertop.• ZBSTP-PP Power Pad antenna generates a15cm (6") (???-to be verified) high by 20cm (8")wide magnetic field above its surface to detectand deactivate UltraStrip II security labels. The antenna can be placed on the countertop, orusing various brackets, mounted flush with thecountertop, under the countertop, or whencounter space is not available, over or on theside of the bagwell. The attached 2.5m (8') interconnect cable carriesthe label signal to the pack and the deactivatepulse to the antenna. CAUTION: The antenna cannot deactivate throughmetal. Do not place the antenna on, under, ornear ferrous metal or cold-rolled steel. Optional status LEDs on the antenna indicatepower on (green), security label deactivation(orange), and errors (red). An adjustable audiotone provides additional feedback thatdeactivation occurred. A second cable carriesdeactivator status signals to the LEDs in theantenna, or to a remote alarm, if used. Figure 1. STP deactivator Magnetic Media Safe ModeThe magnetic field can be reduced before passinglabeled magnetic media over the antenna, thusprotecting the media from the deactivation field.This can be done manually using an optionalfootswitch. Status LEDs do not indicate when thefield is reduced. Status LEDs Antenna Power Pack

STP POWER PAD DEACTIVATOR8000-2599-01, Rev. A PLANNING GUIDE FOR BETA TEST 5IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDSPlease observe the following safeguards beforeyou begin installation or service.o Hazardous areas. DO NOT install deactivator in hazardous areaswhere highly combustible or explosive productsare stored or used.o RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Keep the power cord and interconnect cableaway from cash drawers and other items whoseoperation may pinch or otherwise damagethem. Failure to do so can result in damage toequipment or injury to people nearby.o Ac source must be:− Isolated from neon signs, motors,computers, cash registers, terminals, ordata communications equipment− Unswitched with less than 0.5Vac betweenneutral and ground− Within 1.8m (6') of power pack to accom-modate 3m (10') long power cord. Each power pack requires its own electricaloutlet.o Interference with nearby metal andelectronic equipment.− Fields emitted by the antenna cannot passthrough metal. Also, ferrous metal surround-ing the antenna can distort the field andreduce detection range. Note: If you must place the antenna onferrous metal, then place an aluminum platebehind the antenna to minimize absorptionof the field.− Computer monitors, TVs, switching powersupplies and neon displays can affectdeactivator operation. Keep the antennaaway from these devices wheneverpossible.o Interference with magnetic readers and CRTmonitors.− Antenna fields may affect the operation ofmagnetic check and card readers (alone orin keyboards).− Antenna fields may cause CRT imageswithin 1.8m (6') to quiver. LCD and LEDdisplays are not affected. Note: If antenna fields cause interference, askthe customer if they accept it. If not, movethe antenna to eliminate the interference. Ifthis cannot be done, contact your Sensor-matic technical support specialist for guid-ance. Pre-Install Preparation To ensure the deactivator performs reliably:o Have electrical work comply with latest nationalelectrical code, national fire code, and allapplicable local codes and ordinances.o Coordinate work with other trades to avoidinterference.o Verify existing site conditions and coordinatewith the owner’s representative and appropriateutilities as required.o Obtain copies of all related plans, specifi-cations, shop drawings and addenda toschedule and coordinate related work.o Thoroughly review the project to ensure that allwork meets or exceeds the above require-ments. Bring alleged discrepancies to theattention of Sensormatic Electronics. Also, follow procedures listed next in thisdocument:• Perform a site survey• Note maximum pedestal separation at exits• Ensure label application guidelines are followed• Ensure scanning/deactivation guidelines arefollowed.
6PLANNING GUIDE FOR BETA TESTSTP POWER PAD DEACTIVATOR8000-2599-01, Rev. A Site Survey Placing the antenna immediately downstream fromthe bar-code scanner (Figure 8) places thedeactivation field in line with the checker’s naturalarm movement. Figure 8. Deactivator antenna location To determine the best mounting solution, do thefollowing:• Obtain a drawing showing the dimensions ofthe checkstand.• Describe the checkout process. If possible,videotape the process for clarification.• Photograph the antenna in its installed position. Also note the following:• If shelf or countertop is adjacent to the bar-code scanner, install the antenna under or flushin the countertop.• Is the countertop made of ferrous metal? If it is,and you must install the antenna on thecountertop, then place an aluminum platebehind the antenna to minimize absorption ofthe field.• If installing the antenna in a bagwell, ensure theprongs holding the bag will not shift and the bagwill be as close to the antenna as possible. If wall of bagwell is steel, use 3/4-inch plywood(not provided) to stiffen it and to provide a solidanchor for bracket’s mounting screws (you mayhave to remove the scanner to do this).Plywood should be at least 22.9cm (9") wide.Determine its length by measuring from top ofmounting bracket to base of wall inside counter.• Metal around the antenna can deflect or distortthe deactivate field. Try pre-installing theantenna to see the effects.• The 2.3m (7.5') power cord cannot interferewith the operation of cash drawers or conveyorbelts or interfere with operation, maintenance orremoval of equipment.Forward this information to Corporate TechnicalSupport to establish a library of installations and tofacilitate support.Note: If the mounting brackets available cannot beused, consider a custom solution. A customsolution involves a process that usually takes twoto three months from initial request to delivery, andis as follows:1. You initiate a request for a custom solution andsend site-specific data to Corporate TechnicalSupport.2. Development team analyzes photographs ofthe checkstand (videos are extremely helpful todemonstrate merchandise handling).3. In some cases, representatives from the teamconduct an on-site analysis to evaluate initialproposals and gather additional data.4. A Request for Product Modification (RFM) isgenerated, formally requesting the developmentof a new installation kit.5. Engineering Design and Procurement acquiresa working prototype.6. Development and field teams test theprototype.7. Design modifications occur based on testresults.8. If necessary, a revised prototype is developedand tested.9. Start-up production includes finalizing docu-mentation, placing orders, and first articleapproval.Note: The most effective installation integratesdeactivation with the scanning process. However, ifcircumstances do not allow sufficient lead time fordeveloping a custom solution, consider integratingdeactivation with another step in the normalproduct flow.

Discard all bentor damaged labels.• Do not apply the label to a curved surface.However, the label can be applied parallel tocylindrical items at least 76mm (3") in diameter.Never apply the label to these items diagonallyor horizontally.• Do not apply the label to vinyl or leather. Thelabel’s adhesive can damage these items.• Use an offset label when applying directly toferro-magnetic metallic items such as metal fanblades and light fixtures.• Do not apply the label near strong magnetssuch as those in loudspeakers, or within 13mm(0.5") of small magnets.About source tagging...Source tagging is the process of applying labelsduring the manufacturing process, typically insideproduct packaging. All standard source taggingguidelines apply for this deactivator. For moreinformation, contact your Sensormatic accountmanager.
8PLANNING GUIDE FOR BETA TESTSTP POWER PAD DEACTIVATOR8000-2599-01, Rev. AScanning/DeactivationGuidelinesReliable label deactivation depends on a goodscanning technique. Read the following guidelinesfor routine scanning/deactivation and scanning/deactivation of pre-recorded magnetic media.Routine Scanning/DeactivationTo help cashiers develop a proper scanningrhythm, select ten “labeled” items that represent across section of the store’s most frequently solditems. Cashiers should practice scanning anddeactivating these items using the steps listedbelow.1. Locate the scanner’s the sweet spot. The sweetspot provides optimal scanning recognition.Some scanners have markings such as arrowsor tightly spaced lines to identify this spot.2. Position items before presenting them to thescanner. Cashiers should use both hands toposition heavy or bulky items. For tall items,they should keep their wrists straight to avoidtipping the item and lifting the bar code out ofthe scan zone. This technique also eliminateswrist stress.3. Both the scanner’s sweet spot and theantennas’s magnetic field are aligned to thecashier’s normal scanning motion. Theantenna’s field extends 15cm (6") above itssurface. Move merchandise horizontally alongthe scan/ deactivation pathway (Figure 9),keeping the label and barcode within 15cm (6")of the countertop; do not lift items away fromthe scanner.Figure 9. Scanning/Deactivation pathwayRemember: When a label is detected, theantenna’s green LED turns red and it emits a4. Avoid wasted motion. Avoid turning or reposi-tioning items during scanning/deactivation.5. Verify deactivation. Have the cashier positionthe item so that the bar code is close to theantenna surface. If the label was correctlydeactivated, the LED will remain green. If theLED turns red, the label was not deactivatedinitially, but has been deactivated during thisverification process. Note: Use this step for training purposes only.Once a consistent scanning/deactivationtechnique is developed, cashiers can beconfident of reliable label deactivation on thefirst pass.6. Repeat the process. Cashiers should practiceuntil a smooth rhythm is developed and theyshould become familiar with bar code locationon high volume items.Note: A ZKWACT ActivatorWand or ZKCDACTActivator Pad can be used during training toreactivate the label. You can obtain it by contactingyour Sensormatic Customer Support Specialist.A special note about bagwells:If the antenna is to be located within the bagwell,follow these special steps to ensure deactivation:1. Position the bag rack so the bag lines up withthe antenna (Figure 10).2. If the bag rack is removeable, check itsalignment periodically since it might be moved.Figure 10.

STP POWER PAD DEACTIVATOR8000-2599-01, Rev. A PLANNING GUIDE FOR BETA TEST 9Scanning/Deactivation andPre-Recorded Magnetic MediaThe antenna’s magnetic field can affect pre-recorded magnetic media such as videotapes,audiotapes, computer hardrives, software onfloppy disks, and credit cards. Use the followingguidelines to reduce the possibility of affecting pre-recorded media:• Do not place credit cards near the antennaduring the deactivation process. Be sure thatcustomers do not place or hold cards near theantenna.• Do not place laptop computers on the antenna.• If not using the magnetic media safe mode,then use a contact deactivator to deactivatepre-recorded items—before they are scanned.Examples of contact deactivators are shown inFigure 11.Figure 11.
