58KHz Mono-Guard Transceiver System Quick Start
Overview
1. System Description
Mono-Guard is a single pedestal transceiver Electronic Article Surveillance system
that detects 58KHz tags four feet either side of the pedestal. This system is plug and
play, which eliminates the need for expensive technicians during installation.
The Mono-Guard is software driven EAS system that works in combination with any
58KHz tag and label. The system’s transceiver listens for the unique signal that any
58KHz tag produces, and the sequence produced is then verified and multiplied in a
fraction of a second.

Digital Signal Processing
The Mono-GuardTM system applies the latest and most technically advanced
DSP technologies to address antitheft problems. It minimizes false alarms while
maintaining considerable detection range.
Self-Tuning Electronics
Other manufacturers need professional technicians to tune the system to
ensure proper functioning. But once the environment condition changes, the
systems best working position changes and requires tuning again. The
Mono-GuardTM system, benefiting from its fully digital electronics, constantly
detects the environment & automatically adapts to any changes. It will
always operate at its optimum performance from the beginning.
Software Driven
The Mono-GuardTM is fully digital software driven system, which allows
unprecedented flexibility especially in later versions.
Applications
This type of installation also
consists of a single Mono-
Guard
post while with coverage of a 6 foot
wide opening. The post is mounted
in the middle of the door with a 4
feet maximum detection on either
side. The Mono-
Guard can be
installed close
to a metal door or
frame with out decreasing the
detection range, how-
ever we do
recommend that the when using a
neon light, the system should be
installed 12 ft away, if this is not
possible you can install our noise
shield over the transformer to
eliminate this problem.

Put the nut onto the bolt head on the other side
Use the tool provided to screw down the nuts
58KHz Mono-Guard Transceiver System Quick Start
Operational Tests
The transceiver system is unique for its plug-on initial self-detection. When the first
time the system is applied with electricity, it takes the system one minute to detect
NONE-TAG environment around. Ensure that during this one minute any tag must be
kept 12 feet away from the detection zone of the system.
And after one minute, the program running indicator (a yellow led locates at the one
corner of alarm panel) will flash regularly, and the other green led (self-detection
indicator) at another corner of the panel will shut off, which means the system is
ready for detection.
Problems Encountered
If you ensure every step of the installation is correct, all the connections are ok, and the
system still malfunctions, Please call our technical support number (408) 530-8070)
Accessories
A noise shield is available to cover the electronic transformer. This eliminates the
problem of noise from the proximity of Neon Lighting.

Information on the following pages provides important safety
guidelines for both Operator and Service Personnel. Specific warnings
and cautions will be found throughout the manual where they apply,
but may not appear here. Please read and follow the important safety
information, noting especially those instructions related to risk of fire,
electric shock or injury to persons.
WARNING
Any instructions in this manual that require opening the equipment
cover or enclosure are for use by qualified service personnel only. To
reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other
than that contained in the operating instructions unless you are
qualified to do so.
Symbols and Their Meanings
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle alerts the
user to the presence of important operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the
equipment.
The fuse symbol indicates that the fuse referenced in the text
must be replaced with one having the ratings indicated.
Important Safeguards and
Regulatory Notices
This symbol represents an internal protective grounding terminal. Such
a terminal must be connected to earth ground prior to making any other
connections to the equipment
58KHz Mono-Guard Transceiver System Quick Start
Danger
Electrical potential is still applied to some internal components even
when the power switch/breaker is in the off position. To prevent electrical
shock when working on this equipment, disconnect the AC line cord from
the AC source before working on any internal components.
A residual voltage may be present immediately after unplugging the
system due to slow discharge of large power supply capacitors. Wait 30
seconds to allow capacitors to discharge before working on the system.
Warnings
Heed all warnings on the unit and in the operating instructions.
Do not use this equipment in or near water.
Disconnect ac power before installing any options.
The attachment plug receptacles in the vicinity of the equipment are all to be
of a grounding type, and the equipment grounding conductors serving these
are to be connected to earth ground at the service equipment.
This equipment is grounded through the grounding conductor of the power
cord. To avoid electrical shock, connect the power cord to the equipment and
plug it into a properly wired receptacle before connecting the equipment
inputs and outputs.
Route power cords and other cables so that they are not likely to be
damaged.
Do not wear hand jewelry or watches when troubleshooting high current
circuits, such as the power supplies.
During installation, do not use the door handles or front panels to lift the
equipment as they may open abruptly and injure you.
To avoid fire hazard, use only components of the specified type, voltage
and current rating as referenced in the appropriate parts list.
Always refer fuse replacement to qualified service personnel.
58KHz Mono-Guard Transceiver System Quick Start
To avoid explosion, do not operate this equipment in an explosive
atmosphere unless it has been specifically certified for such operation.
Have qualified personnel perform safety checks after any completed
service.
Risk of electric shock is present. A grounded circuit conductor
(neutral) is provided with over current protection. Test all components
before touching.
Cautions
To prevent damage to equipment when replacing fuses, locate and
correct the trouble that caused the fuse to blow before applying power.
Verify that all power supply lights are off before removing the power
supply or servicing equipment.
Use only specified replacement parts.
Leave the base of the system clear for air exhaust cooling and to allow
room for cabling. Slots and openings in the system are provided for
ventilation. Do not block them.
To prevent damage to this equipment read the instructions in this
document for proper input voltage range selection.
Circuit boards in this equipment are densely populated with surface
mount and ASIC components. Special tools and techniques are required
to safely and effectively troubleshoot and repair modules that use SMT
or ASIC components. For this reason, service and repair of products
incorporating surface mount technology are supported only on a module
exchange basis. Customers should not attempt to troubleshoot or repair
modules that contain SMT components. It assumes no liability
for damage caused by unauthorized repairs. This applies to both in- and out-
of-warranty products.

flash regularly. On the right corner, a noise condition indicator light (green) will flash with a
frequency associated with the noise level. The more frequently it flashes, the worse the
noise is. At this stage, the system is ready for tag detection.
