Quick Start for System Connections
A Premier Guard system consists of a stepdown transformer, a Premier Line Control Unit
(PLCU) and a transceiver (antenna).
The transformer box has two 24vac outputs that can power both the PLCU and transceiver. A
single transformer box supports one PLCU and transceiver.
The PLCU is powered by the stepdown transformer via a single 24vac power input. The
PLCU has two types of connections for the transceiver. One is a transmit control signal
connector and the other s a receive signal connector. Both the TX and RX cables will connect
from the PLCU to the transceiver. The PLCU case is constructed to facilitate wall mounting.
Before permanently connecting the pedestal, place it at the location you intend to install it,
and then arrange the cables from the PLCU directly to the pedestal. You will have to remove
the pedestal base cover to connect the cables.
Additional installation procedures are shown in greater detail in the following sections.

Tuning Procedures & Tips
There are mainly two problems that affect system’s functioning and
performance. One is that system picks up tags and labels poorly. The other is
that system false alarms (or causes other system to do so) without tags or
labels in detection zone.
Low Pick up Rate
1. Check noise “D” (ranging from 0-
999, >100 or so is big noise & >400
is heavy noise).
2. Adjust MIN, GN & RE to increase
sensitivity (see diagram below).
3. Adjust POT for Rx signal pre-
process sensitivity on TX board (see
page 18).
4. Shorten pedestal separation or use
stronger tags (e.g. Super Pencil).
Interference with or by other
systems
1. Swap L & N terminals on power plug
of control pack.
2. Adjust SYN “B” step by step to align
up with other systems.
Please open and tune the systems one by one if there are multiple systems
installed. It will help determine which system is causing the problem.

Note: Inputting the wrong password will cause an error message to be displayed as
per the following picture. After three successive times of inputting an incorrect
password, the remote will be disabled. You will need to turn system power off/on and
input the password again.
When the correct password is verified, the panel will display the following and is now ready for
receiving configuration inputs.
There are three basic steps to inputting a programming parameter:
• Press function button.
• Input parameter number.
• Press [CON] to accept the parameter.
After parameter confirmation, the panel will display the tag window signal. If there is no tag in
the detection zone, the value reflects the noise level in the receiving window without a tag.
The upper value reflects the signal level in the tag window from antenna channel 1. The lower
value reflects the signal level in the tag window from antenna channel 2. (See NSE noise
display entry; it’s the same value with D1)

D3 Average noise window display for channel one.
D4 Average noise window display for channel two.
Monitor average noise.
Note: The average noise level (D3 & D4) is also weighted by the Minimum Signal
Adjustment value. Therefore, if MIN (H value) is increased to be larger than the average
noise level, D3 or D4 will only show the H value instead of the average noise value.
Key ID H: Minimum signal Adjustment (Suggested increment: 20; practical range: 0-200)
Decreasing this number will increase system sensitivity but also at the risk of false alarming.
Vice versa, increasing the value will lower system sensitivity to avoid false alarms caused by
uncontrollable environment noise. There is also an auxiliary POT for RX signal pre-
process sensitivity adjustment (see page 18 and Addendum 1).
There are two antenna channels. Channel 1 is related to vertical orientation and Channel 2 is
related to horizontal orientation. H1 (MIN1) sets the minimum signal of Channel 1, and H2
(MIN2) sets the minimum signal of Channel 2.

After confirmation of H1 or H2 values, the panel will display the average noise level weighted
by the minimum signal adjustment for both antenna channels as follows. (See NSE noise
display entry. It’s the same value with D3, D4)
D3 reflects the average noise level weighted by H1 (MIN1) in antenna channel 1.
D4 reflects the average noise value weighted by H2 (MIN2) in antenna channel 2.

Pedestal Sensitivity Adjustment Guide
1. Two Methods to Adjust Sensitivity
There are two ways to adjust system sensitivity, and each method has a different effect on the
system.
A. Handheld Remote – Change the value of H (Minimum Signal Adjustment) at the PLCU
using the handheld remote (Ref pages 27).
B. POT Adjustment – Tune the antenna coils by adjusting the potentiometers on the
transmitter board located inside the pedestal base (Ref page 12).

Note: Because sub-ports RXA/RXB are mapped into Channel 1 (H1 controlled) and
RXC/RXD are mapped into Channel 2 (H2 controlled), adjustment of either H1 or H2
will affect both of the mapped sub-ports (RXA/RXB or RXC/RXD), thus affecting the
pedestal(s) connected to the mapped sub-ports.

The tuning POTs only affect a single pedestal. Depending on the specific model of Premier or
Plus Line product, the specific POT (1 or 2) will affect a different antenna coil set:
a. POT 1 corresponds to the Figure-8 Coil (vertical orientation) and POT 2 corresponds
to the Loop Coil (horizontal orientation);
-- or --
b. POT 1 corresponds to the Loop Coil and POT 2 corresponds to the Figure-8 Coil.
c. POT 1 corresponds to the Loop Coil and POT 2 corresponds to ferrite rod antennas.
Note: “Figure-8” and “Loop” are names that identify the two antenna coils inside the pedestal.
The Figure-8 Antenna Coil detects vertical orientation signals and the Loop Antenna Coil
detects horizontal orientation signals.
