3. QUICK TUNING
3.1 Quick Installation
3.1.1. PREVIOUS
Install the deactivator the same way as a system installation
Always connect the device to clean power lines (No other electrical devices connected)
Always turn on systems/deactivators ONE by ONE. Once you have tuned the first one, THEN connect the
second one, THEN the third, etc…Do not fix the system to the floor before testing its performance FIRST!
Do not fix the device before testing its performance FIRST!
Read this manual BEFORE installing deactivators!
3.1.2. DEACTIVATOR INSTALLATION
Check cabling / connection needs according to the kind of installation. Check all the material is ready.
Place the deactivator in the installation area.
Turn the deactivator ON, and connect it
Check Electrical Noise, Synchro, TX Status, etc… check everything is normal
Stabilize external electrical noise to the minimum.
IN ORDER TO AVOID FALSE DEACTIVATIONS, TUNE THE DETECTION DISTANCE (THRESHOLD, GAIN) TO BE
LESS THAN THE DEACTIVATION DISTANCE (DEACTIVATION VOLTAGE).
If any modifications, save parameters.
Disconnect your laptop and observe the deactivator during some time making several
detection/deactivation tests.
If OK, fix the deactivator, if not OK, see Section 3.2 TROUBLESHOTING
You are done!
3.2 Troubleshooting
3.2.1. NO DETECTION
Try with other tag
Rise Gain (Up to 2-3 LEDS)
Lower Threshold
See Section 3.4. NOISE PROBLEM
See Section 3.3. SYNCHRONIZATION PROBLEM
3.2.2. TOO MUCH DETECTION
Lower Gain
Rise Threshold
3.2.3. FALSE ALARM
Look for TAGS near the antennas
See Section 3.5. FALSE ALARM (OR UNKNOWN ALARM)
3.2.4. MAKES OTHER SYSTEMS FALSE ALARM
See Section 3.3. SYNCHRONIZATION PROBLEM
7
3.3 Synchronization Problem
How can I recognize a synchro problem?
Externally: When you turn on your system:
•It makes other 58 kHz systems near alarm
•Your system is showing a high amount of noise in the LED bar (See Section 2. HARDWARE ).
•There is no detection or it is very poor.
Laptop:
•Check Section 4.7.4. DISCOVERY TOOL
How can I know the synchro problem has been solved?
Externally all systems around will be working fine as well as yours.
Laptop: The situation in the discovery mode will be similar to this:
You are done!
8
3.4 Noise Problem
How can I recognize a noise problem?
Externally: When you turn on your system:
•The system shows a high amount of noise in the LED bar.
•The detection might be poor.
Laptop:
•In the scope you will see high amount of noise, in the 2 buffers.
How can I solve a noise problem?
Try to locate the source of noise:
•Turn off all electrical equipment in the area. If the noise disappears, start turning all the electrical
equipment ONE BY ONE till you get noise again.
•Other way to locate the source of noise is moving the deactivator while at the same time you are
looking to the LED bar or the software. See how the orientation of the antenna affects the amount of
noise and you will finally find the source.
Then you have to neutralize the source of noise. (It might be related with bad synchro, please check
procedure in Section 4.7.4. DISCOVERY TOOL
How can I know the noise problem has been solved?
Detection will improve. The signs of noise in the LED bar and in the scope will disappear.
You are done!
9
33.5 False Alarm or Unknown Alarm
How can I recognize a false alarms (or unknown alarm) problem?
Your deactivator is alarming when not expected to alarm. Deactivator devices are very false alarm
restrictive. It is almost impossible that a deactivator device is alarming except when:
There is a tag in the detection area
There is another 58 kHz system or deactivator not in synchro.
How can I solve a false alarms (or unknown alarm) problem?
Look for tags near the system. Look in the scope in the software. If you see something similar to this:
There might be another 58 kHz system or deactivator out of synchro affecting our device. Follow procedure
in Section 4.7.4. DISCOVERY TOOL
How can I know the false alarms (or unknown alarm) problem has been solved?
The system is working normally, no unexpected alarms.
You are done!

caused by a tag.
23
4.7.2. DISCOVERY TOOL
Main tool to synchronize the system.
In 99% of cases this adjustment is not necessary. Anyway, it is always good to take a look at the
environmental electric noise throughout the “Discovery Mode” feature.
When Discovery Tool is ON, the transmitter is then turned off, and the system ONLY receives.
Standard Synchro delay value is 0.2ms
Once the Discovery Tool is ON, electrical noise and other possible systems out of phase are shown on the
screen. In the scope is represented the amount of noise in 58 kHz through the 0º phase to the 360º phase
in the mains. (From 0 ms to 20 ms in one 50 Hz period).
In the scope, the TX blocks will be represented in the lower side of the yellow line (negative), the TX blocks
of other systems out of phase, will be represented in the upper side of the yellow line (positive).
24
FIELD SITUATIONS
1. Systems perfectly in phase (99% of times), NO NEED TO SYNCHRONIZE
•In these cases, only the blocks in the lower part can be seen. The presence of another system which is
correctly synchronized with yours, can be seen in the break of the first block (RED CIRCLE)
2. Systems out of synchro, NEED TO SYNCHRONIZE, Only one external reference
•When another 58 kHz transmitter is transmitting out of synchro, it can be easily seen from the scope
screen. The area above the yellow line is reserved for these situations. In the next figure, the presence
of another 58 kHz transmitter can be easily seen on that area. Only one external reference means that
only 3 TX blocks from other system can be seen in the upper side of the screen.
•Change the delay manually to synchronize with the system out of synchro.
25
•Match the systems transmissions with one each other…
•As it can be seen on the figure above, our TX blocks (below yellow line) have moved until the position of
the other system TX blocks. The synchro can be followed and verified visually. The peaks appearing in
the 2 last blocks (RED CIRCLE) are normal when the system is too near.
•After a good synchronization process, you must turn Discovery Mode off, to do so press OFF
3. Systems out of synchro, NEED TO SYNCHRONIZE, More than one external reference
•When there is more than one reference to synchro, then a correct synchronization is not possible. This
means that previous to the installation, there were already at least 2 systems out of synchro, probably
these systems are already not working. In order to fix the problem it is necessary to previously
synchronize between them the existing systems.
•6 blocks of normal duration, means at least 2 previously not synchronized systems
•3 blocks of abnormal duration, means at least 2 previously not synchronized systems
26
•After synchronizing ALL external systems, the situation will be as follows:
•Then the system can be correctly synchronized using this unique and only external reference.
•Please follow step CASE 2, to synchronize de system in accordance.
27
4.8 Reciever Tab
4.8.1. GAIN
Gain feature is used to adjust the receiver sensitivity to get the best reception signal.
In order to adjust Gain, simply select the value until you get the required detection.
4.8.2. THRESHOLD
Threshold feature is the signal level at which each receiver will trig an alarm.
A Higher threshold means less sensitive for the system, more quantity of signal will be needed from the tag
to trigger an alarm, the detection is reduced.
It is recommended, for maximum sensitivity to keep the Detection Threshold at minimum (40)
In order to adjust Detection Threshold, simply select the value until you get the required detection
4.8.3. RX OSCILLATOR
In some cases (Noise coming from a TFT or plasma), swapping between USB or LSB filter will help to reduce
electrical noise.
28
NOTE:
This setting is set to 1
and can't be changed
in USA
Note :
This is set to B
and can't be
changed in USA
4.8.4. SIGNAL AND NOISE
In the scope area there is a digital oscilloscope display that will help to analyse the noise and signal. Real
time electrical noise signals icon will show current electrical signal (Noise and tags if there is any).
There are 2 different reception areas shown on the Signal Bars / Digital Scope: 'Loop 1 Signal' and 'Loop 1
Noise'
•SITUATION 1 (When there is no tag near)
The reception areas shown on the Signal Bars / Digital Scope should look as follows:
In the 2 different reception Bars/Areas, only electrical noise in the environment is shown, as there is no
tag near.
All 2 reception Bars/Areas MUST HAVE SIMILAR values.
•SITUATION 2 (When there is a tag near)
The reception areas shown on the Signal Bars / Digital Scope should look as follows:
In the 2 different reception Bars/Areas, the reception Bar/Area reserved for noise keep the same as in
SITUATION 1 BUT the Bar/Area reserved for tag signal, show higher values than the one reserved for
noise.
This way, an alarm caused by tags can be easily identified.
