About the DMS 915
The Digital MicroWave System (DMS) 915 is a
microcontroller-based anti-theft system. The DMS
915 produces an alarm when it detects a
Sensormatic tag, a packaged semiconductor
diode.
To detect the tag, the system performs the
following operations:
• The system generates a “zone of protection,”
typically at a store exit. This zone consists of
two overlapping fields. The first field is a static
or frequency-hopping, frequency modulated
RF signal. The second field is a frequency shift
key (FSK) modulated and predominately
electrostatic field called an E-field.
• When a tag enters the zone, it combines the
RF signal and the E-field into a composite
signal that radiates to the system RF
antennas. The system detects the composite
signal, separates the modulation, and
compares the recovered modulation to the
modulation transmitted. If the two signals
match, the system issues an alarm.
The DMS 915 is programmed using an external
hand-held computer. Programmable features
include RF hopping bank or frequency selection,
RF power level selection, electrostatic field
frequency selection, “tag-too-close” function
enable/disable, alarm tone selection, alarm
duration selection, selectable hits required for
alarm, and alarm count set/reset control.
System Components
DMS 915 components include E-field radiators, RF
antennas, remote alarms, and a programmable
power pack
Three types of E-field radiators are:
• Wire cloth – usually recessed in the floor or
sometimes laid on the floor under a rubber
pad.
• Plate – a metal plate concealed inside a
pedestal at the side of the exit.
• Vortex – a long aluminum bar hung across the
exit.
The RF antennas are used to radiate the
frequency-hopping, frequency-modulated RF
signal. These antennas mount in a variety of ways.
They can be concealed above the ceiling,
mounted in pods, concealed in the floor, or
mounted in pedestal enclosures located at the
store exit.
The remote alarm provides a audio/visual signal
that a tag has entered the “zone of protection.”
The power pack powers and controls the system.
The pack is typically concealed inside an
enclosure.

Typical Installations
DMS 915 components are arranged in various
configurations depending on the application.
Typical installations are:
• Slimline with plates
• Concealed ceramic RF antennas with wire
cloth

Slimline with Plates
The Slimline with plate system consists of two dish

which are enclosed in non-metallic pedestals. A
transmitter/receiver power pack, RF antenna, and
an electrostatic field radiator plate are contained in
one unit while the other pedestal has only an RF
antenna and another electrostatic radiator plate.
The housings are faced toward each other at a
typical distance range from 3 to 6 feet depending
upon the installation. The antennas are connected
to the transmitter/receiver via shielded coaxial
cables.
Components:
• Power Pack
• RF antenna (dish)
• Electrostatic field Slimline plate antenna
• Metal Mounting Frame
• Typical Cosmetic Enclosure – Old
• Typical Cosmetic Enclosure - New

Concealed Ceramic RF Antennas with
wire cloth
The Concealed ceramic RF antennas with wire
cloth system consists of two helix type RF
antennas, each resting on the ceiling tiles. The RF
antennas are faced towards each other at a typical
distance range from 3 to 24 feet depending upon
the installation. On the floor between the RF
antennas lays an electrostatic radiator, a wire cloth
whose length is less than the separation between
the RF antennas. The wire cloth is usually
recessed in the floor or sometimes placed on the
floor and covered with a rubber mat. The antennas
are connected to the transmitter/receiver power
pack via shielded coaxial cables. The
transmitter/receiver power pack has an optional
cosmetic enclosure.
Components:
• Power Pack
• RF antenna (helix)
• Electrostatic field wire cloth antenna
• Typical cosmetic mounting enclosure
