CHAPTER INTRODUCTION CHAPTER0 This Guide allows you to upgrade existing installations of QS2000, Strata PX and Liberty PX pedestals to the new Liberty UHX pedestal. The new Liberty UHX pedestals can read both EAS and UHF/RFID tags simultaneously.
The following table outlines the responsibilities for each installation group. The tasks are listed in the order they should be completed. Table 0.
CHAPTER REMOVING EXISTING PEDESTALS CHAPTER0 In order to install the Liberty UHX pedestals, you must first remove the existing legacy pedestals. This chapter provides detailed instructions for removing the following legacy pedestals: • QS2000 (EAS) - See “Removing QS2000 Pedestals” on page 2-2. • Strata PX (EAS) - See “Removing Strata PX Pedestals” on page 2-4. • Liberty PX (EAS) - See “Removing Liberty PX Pedestals” on page 2-6.
Removing QS2000 Pedestals To remove existing QS2000 pedestals, complete the following. 1 Checkpoint Technician removes the plastic covering from the QS2000 pedestal. plastic covering Figure 2.1 QS2000 pedestal. 2 Checkpoint Technician unbolts and removes existing QS2000 pedestals. Figure 2.2 The QS2000 pedestal is installed with two 3 inch by 1/2 inch anchor bolts.
3 Checkpoint Technician removes the existing bolt anchors in one of the following ways: • Break • Cut • Pound down 4 Since the footprint of all QS pedestals is 12 inches by 3 1/2 inches, the existing bolt anchor holes will need to be filled in because these holes cannot be reused for Liberty UHX installations. Estimated completion time Removal of the legacy QS2000 pedestal will take approximately 30 minutes per single pedestal.
Removing Strata PX Pedestals To remove existing Strata PX pedestals, complete the following. 1 Checkpoint Technician removes the plastic covering from the Strata PX pedestal. plastic covering Figure 2.3 Strata PX pedestal. 2 Checkpoint Technician unbolts and removes existing Strata PX pedestals. Figure 2.4 The Strata PX pedestal installed with two 3 inch by 1/2 inch anchor bolts.
Estimated completion time Removal of legacy Strata PX pedestal will take approximately 15 minutes per single pedestal. Removing bumper posts Strata PX pedestal may have a bumper post installed on either side of the pedestal to protect the pedestal from damage. These bumper posts should be removed and the post holes filled in with concrete. Instead of bumper posts, the new Liberty UHX pedestals are installed on top of metal risers.
Removing Liberty PX Pedestals To remove existing Liberty PX pedestals, complete the following. 1 Checkpoint Technician removes the plastic covering from the Liberty PX pedestal. plastic covering Figure 2.
2 Checkpoint Technician unbolts and removes existing Liberty PX pedestals. Figure 2.6 Liberty PX pedestal is installed with two 3 inch by 1/2 inch anchor bolts. Estimated completion time Removal of legacy Liberty PX pedestal will take approximately 15 minutes per single pedestal.

CHAPTER INSTALLING LIBERTY UHX PEDESTALS CHAPTER0 Once the legacy pedestals are removed, you are ready to install the new Liberty UHX pedestals. The installation of the new Liberty UHX pedestal includes the following: • Cutting a new wiring channel • Running the electrical and network wiring • Installing the new Liberty UHX pedestal Placement of the Liberty UHX pedestals coincides with normal placement of the Liberty PX pedestals.
Electrical and Network Wiring For the new Liberty UHX pedestal the following wiring is required: • Electrical - 1 gauge wire (shielded). 1 wire required per pedestal. • Network - CAT 5 or 5e cable (un-shielded twisted pairs). 1 cable required per pedestal. To complete the network and electrical installation and wiring, 1 Checkpoint contractor installs one or two additional shelves in the ceiling on one side of the entry way or attaches the 3 power supplies directly to the studded wall.
Wiring for front entrance The network and electrical wiring for all six pedestals originate from the power supply and network access point installed in the ceiling above side of the entry way on the studded wall. The power cabled are shipped in standard 100” lengths with connectors attached to one end. The other end of the power cable will have connectors added at the site. The power supply also ships with the connector attached.
• Blue pair and brown pair are not used. 2 Target Technician tests the CAT 5 cable for network connectivity. 3 Checkpoint contractor back-fills floor trench (over top of wiring). Wiring for employee entrance pedestal Currently there are 2 antenna pedestals at the employee entrance. These 2 pedestals are replaced by one single Liberty UHX pedestal to be installed near the wall that contains the power supply. The following wiring instructions only apply to one pedestal.
6 Plug the factory installed connector into the power supply. The following tasks must be completed by Target IT staff. 1 Target Technician crimps the wires into an RJ-45 surface mount jack. • Pins 1 and 2 - orange pair - white, orange, white • Pins 3 and 6 - green pair - white, green, white • Blue pair and brown pair are not used. 2 Target Technician tests the CAT 5 cable for network connectivity. Estimated completion time Conduit preparation will take approximately 120 minutes.
Installing the pedestal Once the wiring is completed, you are ready to install the actual Liberty UHX pedestal. New anchor bolt holes are only required if the legacy pedestals are QS2000s. The bolt locations for the QS2000 were closer together than those of the Strata PX and Liberty PX. Since the bolt hole locations for the Strata PX and Liberty PX are identical to those of the Liberty UHX, the existing bolts can be reused.
5 Checkpoint Technician bolts down Liberty UHX pedestals to the raised base plate assembly. 6 Checkpoint Technician connects the power to the Liberty UHX pedestal. 7 Checkpoint Technician connects the network cable to the Liberty UHX pedestal. 8 Checkpoint Technician configures, tunes and tests the Liberty UHX pedestals. Estimated completion time Approximate install time for a single pedestal is 60 minutes if new anchor bolt holes need to be drilled. This will be for an upgrade from a QS2000 pedestal.

CHAPTER LIBERTY UHX INSTALLATION CHECKLIST CHAPTER0 A site survey will be conducted by a team composed of both customer and Checkpoint personnel. Once a site survey is reviewed by both parties, Checkpoint will detail store specific information in a customer-specific version of the sample Installation Checklist shown below.
Project Management/Marketing Scope • Door layouts are reviewed to verify project deliverables. • Checkpoint personnel will be responsible for ensuring that all local building codes are met. • Checkpoint personnel will remind Target to buy replacement mats (if necessary) and to ensure they are delivered in time for the upgrade of existing pedestals. • Checkpoint personnel will work with Target to determine which riser baseplate is best suited for this store location.
• Once network connectivity is confirmed by Target, Checkpoint Technician connects Cat 5 cable and power connection to pedestals. • All Liberty UHX antennas are installed, configured and tested for full EAS functionality by the Checkpoint Technician prior to store opening. • Once EAS functionality of the antennas is confirmed, the Liberty UHX pedestals will be configured and tuned for full UHF functionality.
Follow up Procedures • Ensure that the installation checklist is filled out and initialed by Checkpoint, the Checkpoint contractor, and the onsite Target representative. The checklist should be faxed to the Onsite Project Coordinator. • At the completion of the installation, a voice mail message must be left for the Installation Scheduler, Onsite Project Coordinator, Account Representative, and the Project Manager.
