F10 Installation Manual Rev. *60 45 of 71
Standard: 8.2 and Library: 9.5
These are the standard applications and remain unchanged from the previous version of the
firmware. Each application uses a tag that falls within a single contiguous RF frequency range.
• Standard: 8.2 is the most common and most generic application.
• Library: 9.5 mode is used primarily in libraries.
Corral: 8.2, 9.0
This application is used in Toys-R-Us stores where the 8.2 MHz tags are placed on general
merchandise throughout the store and 9.0 MHz tags are placed on electronics located in a special
“Corral” area in the store.
Reverse Corral: 8.2, 9.0
This is used in Barnes & Noble and is similar to the Toys-R-Us implementation but the tag
frequencies are reversed. The 9.0 MHz tags are used for books throughout the store and the 8.2
MHz tags are used on other merchandise located in a “Corral” area.
Apparel: 8.2, 9.2
This application is used for stores where two levels of alarms are required to differentiate between
two priorities of merchandise. The system response is different (different light patterns or colors,
different sound patterns or voice alarm message) for each of the two tag types. The idea is to bring
special attention to the pedestal if the higher priority tag is detected.
Note: Previously, this was known as the “9.0 tag band” or “Kohls.”
Pharma: 8.2, 7.2
This application is used primarily in stores containing a pharmacy. By design, this application has
a very low false alarm rate for the 7.2 MHz tag.
RazorKeeper: 8.2, 7.2
This application is similar in use to the Apparel application but uses the 8.2 MHz and 7.2 MHz
tags. The 7.2 MHz tags are placed inside razor keeper boxes and when detected cause an alarm
response that differs from the 8.2 MHz tag response (different light and sound patterns and/or
specialized voice message).
Immunity: 8.2
This application is similar to the Standard: 8.2 application in that only the 8.2 MHz tag is detected.
The unique feature of the Immunity: 8.2 application is that it is much more resistant to false
alarms caused by merchandise than the Standard: 8.2 application. This application is especially
useful in hardware stores where a large percentage of the merchandise is known to cause false
alarms. If false alarming due to merchandise is not a severe problem, it is better to use the
Standard: 8.2 application because it will detect 8.2MHz tags over a larger frequency range than the
Immunity: 8.2 application. Tags which vary in range +/- 3% or more from the center frequency of
8.2 MHz may not be detected in the Immunity: 8.2 application.
