Overview
This chapter explains F10 system hardware. This general information is useful for initial planning
and training purposes.
1. Hardware: Shows hardware components including the antenna assembly and electronics.
2. System Diagrams: Shows overall design and component layout of the F10 system.
F10 System Hardware
The F10 system is designed to be installed in the floor and provide an invisible EAS system. The
basic design is a 1 meter antenna assembly. Each antenna features multiple shielded coils. A
single assembly or two (2) units can be connected to a single Impedance Matching Board.

The F10 system consists of a transceiver-based system using pulse/listen technology, allowing
them to work in a single antenna configuration. In the same way that the NLG FX2012 system
works, F10 antennas connect to a remote electronics enclosure via a coax cable.
The antenna is wired directly to an Impedance Matching Board, another component that is
installed in the floor (i.e. buried along with the antenna). The Impedance Matching Board
provides the link between the antenna wiring and coax cable that connects to the remotely
located electronics enclosure. Typical EAS peripherals are able to be incorporated.
The electronics enclosure is designed to ensure proper ventilation in a non-condensing 0-40

C
environment. The wiring for the electronics system is a low-voltage, limited-energy system
(operating at 24VDC or less). All wiring must conform to applicable wiring codes.
The F10, 2 meter kit includes one (1) Impedance Matching Board for connecting the two (2)
antennas to a single Electronics Enclosure via two (2) coax cables routed through a single piece of
conduit. The power supply unit (not shown) is the standard +24VDC unit (refer to
Appendix A:
Power Supply).
