USER'S MANUAL, NS40 1.0 INTRODUCTION The NS40 is an EAS Pedestal which has some unique aspects to it, both visually and in terms of the way it works. NS40 can be considered part of the NEO "Range" or Product Family. It relies upon the same radio transceiver found in the popular NP10, NP20 and NG10 Antennas but the difference between NS40 and these Antennas (Pedestals) is the NS40 is a remotedriven antenna. 1.1 System Identification Figure 1: NS40 1.
USER'S MANUAL, NS40 1.3 Using this Guide You can review NS40 features and learn about the hardware which provides functionality in this document. For Product Specifications, please see Section 4.0. This document does not provide any instructions for installation or site planning. Please refer to the NS40 Quick Start Guide for site planning and installation support. 1.3.1 Reference Documents (See Also): For NS40 "Quick Start" help, refer to CKP P/N 10035521 Rev 00 or later.

USER'S MANUAL, NS40 2.0 2.1 2.1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION EAS Features Radio Frequency Band Detection Limited to 8.2 MHz • No “Application Based Detection Mode” (7.6, 9.0 detection). • NS40 is tuned to achieve detection of HF targets at 8.2MHz ±5% radio frequency. • Tags tuned to other frequencies may or may not produce the alarm; expect a noticeable drop in performance for any non 8.2 tag. • By product management and design team choice, working from voice of customer, the feature was removed intentionally.
USER'S MANUAL, NS40 3.0 3.1 SYSTEM HARDWARE System Controller The NS40 itself includes one (1) coupler board (A1200 matching board), RF antenna wiring, and one (1) System Controller and control cabling. The System Controller is one of the central devices. USB devices and the Light and Speaker board interface directly with it. A 64-Bit Processor runs the embedded software and firmware, which work together to control all high-level and low-level operations.
USER'S MANUAL, NS40 3.2.2 LED Board The LED Board has 10 LEDs which are each comprised of 3 RGB LEDs, 3 sub-LEDs per every 1 Multicolor LED. The LED Board also has a small momentary switch, which is a push button; only Field Service is expected to use this interface. 3.2.3 Speaker NS40 features an audio speaker, which is distinctly different from a piezo type "buzzer". Read more about the Speaker in section 4.6. 3.2.4 USB Devices One (1) USB Bluetooth module (dongle) comes standard.
USER'S MANUAL, NS40 3.4 3.4.1 Remaining Hardware Matching Board An important part of the antenna in the RF Circuit is the antenna impedance matching board or "coupler board" for short. The FS Technician should never have to inspect/repair a coupler board, because they are Factory-Installed and Ready "As Manufactured." On the NS40 coupler board, there is no hardware tuning (no PCB Jumpers, which is different from Evolve). 3.4.

USER'S MANUAL, NS40 4.5 IO Board (GPIO Module) Mechanical Specs: PCB Layers: 4 PCB Materials: FR4 Dimensions: 32.5mm X 76.5mm [1.28in X 3.01in] Electrical Specs: Inputs: 4. RJ-45 connector (2 pins per input). Outputs: 2. The GPO RJ-45 connector has 4 relay contact pairs in total. 2 Normally Open (N.O.) and 2 Normally Closed (N.C.). Each output drives an open and closed contact pair.
USER'S MANUAL, NS40 4.7 LED Board Mechanical specs: PCB Layers: 2 PCB Materials: FR4 Dimensions: LED board is a circular shape with a center cutout, approx. 3 inches in diameter Features: 10 LEDs aligned in a circle. Each LED can illuminate in various colors, relying on 3 individual LEDs (Red, Green, and Blue) inside each of the 10 PCB-mounted LEDs.
USER'S MANUAL, NS40 5.0 USING DMS TO APPLY SOFTWARE SETTINGS Checkpoint DMS is by-license-only software, which will be used by field service, engineering and manufacturing to set up NS40. Tuning can be performed using DMS. Transmit Power and other critical settings are checked/set with the help of Analog View and similar software features. DMS is also used at the time System installation to pick the LED color, pattern and the sound file (.mp3) played when the EAS Alarm Event occurs.
USER'S MANUAL, NS40 6.0 POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS 6.1 General Details The Power Supply Unit (PSU) is sold separately from the NS40 and NEO Controller. The NEO Controller requires +24 Volts DC supplied at J6 or J14 of the EAS Sensor. PSU which is suitable shall be an external AC/DC converter power supply rated at 24VDC nominal, with LPS either 50W or 90W maximum. LPS stands for limited power source. Refer to Sourcing Spec (CKP P/N 10034493). 6.1.1 Approved PSU Model Use only the approved power supply.
USER'S MANUAL, NS40 6.1.2 Plenum PSU Installation In the US, if the power supply is to be installed in a plenum (HVAC ventilation) area, the GlobTek GS-599MC-KIT(R) (CKP P/N 7367100) must be installed. In the event of such an installation, the power supply must be hard wired to comply with section 300.22 (C) of the NEC. The kit includes the standard power supply (see Figure 2 above) and plenum-rated conversion kit. 6.2 PSU 1:1 Rule The "Power Supply One to One Rule" for NEO Controller is required.
USER'S MANUAL, NS40 Figure 4: Common Ferrites 1 Ferrite Core is provided in the installation kit, however this ferrite is typically not needed (see section 3.4.2 describing its intended use). Figure 5: Optional Ferrite Core Placement, Near PSU Adapter Shown above, the "Multi-Purpose Ferrite Core" (CKP P/N 7284760) is suitable to be used here. Figure 4 shows other types which can be used. You can apply this (or any) ferrite core with 4 turns near the DC output as shown. CHECKPOINT SYSTEMS, INC.
