Preliminary
System Setup
1. Ensure controller power is off.
2. Connect antenna cables to the controller
according to how the antennas are intended to
perform. Refer to diagrams and tables on pages
3 and 4 of this guide. See examples of pedestal
installations in the antenna installation guide.
3. Set DIP switches S1 and S2 in the controller for
the pedestal type, number of pedestals, and the
antenna configuration used (see page 5).
4. Turn on the laptop computer and launch the
ADS 4 service configurator.
Note: For instructions on how to use configurator
settings, click Help on the configurator.
IMPORTANT! Ensure the controller power is off.
Never restart or boot up a computer connected to
an active controller. Doing so disables the mouse
function on the computer.
5. Turn on the controller and connect the laptop
computer to the service port.
6. Using the “Setup” page on the configurator:
a. Check that antenna selections match
antennas physically installed. If not, check
antenna connections to the controller.
b. Setup parameters for lamps, audio, relays,
and remote alarms.
7. Using the “Tx Configuration” page, set Tx
current for each antenna and enable/disable
transmitters, if necessary.
8. Pass an active security tag by each antenna to
verify antenna performance. Refer to Help if
monitoring or adjustments are necessary.
Verifying Operation
Check that the antenna alarm lamp lights when a
tag/label is passed through the checkout aisle, or if
the system is covering adjacent aisles, that the
lamp lights only in the aisle the tag/label was in.
If the pick rate is acceptable, installation is
complete. Reattach the top cover.
