1.0 System Description
1.1 System Overview

Checkpoint's C/PT IX deactivation system dramatically cuts inventory shrinkage
losses from customer shoplifting and employee pilferage when used in conjunction
with a Checkpoint electronic article merchandising system. Although not foolproof,
C/PT IX can reduce losses in retail stores so effectively that the savings will quickly
exceed the system's cost. This manual describes how to install, tune, and test the
C/PT IX system.
A complete C/PT IX system consists of one chassis, one or two pads or scanner
antennas and targets attached to protected inventory. The pad rests on the top of the
checkout counter where tagged merchandise can pass over it. The chassis is usually
mounted under or inside the checkout counter. Clerks deactivate these targets at
checkout. If someone should try to exit through the sensing system with an active
target, an alarm sounds. The manager can then intercept and verify the item has been
properly purchased.
1.1.1 How the System Works

One chassis can drive up to two pads or up to two scanner/deactivators or a
combination of both. A random pulsed-RF signal is generated by the chassis.
This signal is sent through a cable or cables connected to one or two pads
creating a RF field above the pad(s). When a Checkpoint target enters the
field, it responds to the chassis' signal by resonating and emitting a signal of its
own. Depends on its operating modes, the chassis either picks up the target's
signal, and amplifies the subsequent pulses to destroy or deactivate the target,
or operates in the high power mode to destroy or deactivate the target all the
time.
1.1.2 System Effectiveness

It is possible to subvert the C/PT IX system. For example, targeted
merchandise can be deactivated by customers, then concealed. Customers
could also remove targets from protected merchandise. Customers can learn
these and other tricks to evade security measures.
Most theft loss arises from impulsive shoplifters, who sense an opportunity to
steal and spontaneously act to take advantage of it. C/PT IX, in conjunction
with a sensing system, acts effectively to discourage these casual shoplifters,
and they seldom learn how to defeat this system.

1.2 Chassis
The chassis is mounted inside or under the checkout stand so that it is within 8 feet of
an AC power outlet, 7 feet of a pad, 5 feet of a scanner antenna.
On the units face are:
a recessed power switch,

an access hole to the internal volume control,
a green LED ( POWER ) that lights when power is on,
a red LED ( ALARM ) that lights when a live tag is detected,
a green LED ( SLAVE ) that lights when the C/PT IX is locked in slaved mode,
a yellow LED ( DISABLE ) that lights when the C/PT IX is inhibited.
On the units back are:
a 6-pin female connector for antenna connection,

three access holes for power, slaving, interlock, inhibit, and remote unit cables.
1.3 Power Supply and C/PT resettable fuse

The standard C/PT IX chassis operates on 90 - 264 VAC 50/60Hz /15 VDC supply
with a current rating of over 1.0 A. The C/PT IX uses a resettable fuse. To reset this
fuse, turn off power, wait 1 minute and turn on power.
1.4 Remote Unit

When the C/PT IX is configured in IV or VI mode, a remote unit is needed.
On the remote units face are:
a recessed power switch,

a green LED that lights when power is on,
a sonalert that beeps when a live tag is detected by the C/PT IX.
1.5 Antenna
The C/PT IX chassis can be used with a variety of antenna configurations.
Checkpoint or some scanner manufacturers produce these antennas.
1.6 Target
The C/PT IX system is compatible with all 8.2 MHz deactivatable tags. In addition,
the C/PT IX will alarm when a non-deactivatable tag is placed in its field, but it will
not deactivate the tag. Occasionally, non-deactivatable paper tags ( those with lower
than average breakdown voltage ) will be deactivated, especially when placed near a
corner of the pad where field strength is greatest. The CSE should be aware of this
rare event.

3.0 Wiring the C/PT IX
3.1 Power Connection

The BLACK/WHITE or POSITIVE conductor from the power supply should be
connected to the PWR+ of J2 and the BLACK or GROUND conductor from the
power supply should be connected to the PWR- of J2.
If a switch is being used to cycle the power, the switch should be connected to the
SWITCH of J2. If no switch is being used, place a jumper wire between those two
pins of SWITCH. See Figure 3.1 for the detail.
Figure 3.1 Wire Connections

Rev. 00
3.2 Antenna Connection
3.2.1 Pad Connection

C/PT IX can drive one or two pads or scanner/deactivators. The cable length
for the pad is 8 feet. (Dont alter the cable length under any circumstance)
Place each pad in position on its counter. The maximum distance between the
two pads that are connected to a single chassis is 12 feet. The best performance
can be achieved if the pad cable run straight out of the pad for at least 6
(15 cm) before it changes direction. See Figure 3.2.1. If the direct pad-chassis
route takes the cable back under the pad, beneath the counter top, its best to
route the cable along the center of the pad. See Figure 3.2.1. Ensure that
deactivation remains as transparent to the checkout process as possible. Connect
the pads cables to either ANT1 (pin 1,3 of J1) or ANT2 (pin 4,6 of J1) with
drain wires to GND (pin 2 or 5 of J1) on the C/PT IX. See Figure 3.1 for the
detail.

Rev. 00
3.2.2 Scanner Antenna Connection

To achieve optimized performance, the cable length from the chassis to 4_WAY
connector or buttsplice should be kept to 6 feet in length. (Dont alter this
length under any circumstance) Extend the scanner antenna cable by 6 feet
using the 4-WAY connector or the buttsplice and the cable (Belden 8760 #18)
provided with the installation kit. See Figure 3.2.2. Connect the antenna cable
to either ANT1 (pin 1,3 of J1) or ANT2 (pin 4,6 of J1) with the drain wire to
GND (pin 2 or 5 of J1) on C/PT IX. See Figure 3.1 for the detail.

3.3 Slaving Connection

Whether or not the C/PT IX should be slaved to other EAS systems or deactivation
systems depends on the environment of the site, the layout of the system, and the
settings of the system. Refer to Table 8.1 as a guideline for the minimum distances
required between the various EAS systems and the C/PT IX. If you are not sure,
temporarily plug in and turn on the C/PT IX, attach the oscilloscope probe to the
appropriate test point of the EAS systems receivers as you test for poor detection and
phantoms.
NOTE: The C/PT IX doesnt have MASTER SLAVE OUTPUT.

It cannot be slaved to each other unless a master source such as
an EAS system or fiber master exists.
3.3.1 Wire Slaving

Connect the slaving input cable from the master source to Slave In (pin 5, 6
of J4). Connect the slaving output cable (daisy chain) to Slave Out (pin 3,4
of J4). Ground for wire slave is pin 2 of J4. See Figure 3.1 for the detail.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
DWG. 476736 PAGE 10

Rev. 00
3.3.2 Fiber Slaving

When fiber slaving, you need the fiber receiver found in Fiber Slave Kit
(P/N 469022). Plug the fiber receiver into U15 and tie wrap it. Connect the
fiber cable with the connector from the fiber master to the fiber receiver.
3.3.3 Secure Cables

Secure slave/inhibit wiremold, measure, cut, and lay the cable. Secure the
pad- chassis and power cables to the sales counter surfaces with cable ties.
Use plastic wiremold where cables are visible to the store personnel. Secure
the excess of either cable under the counter by bundling it. Do not coil it.
Make sure to leave enough cable slack at the chassis end to allow service
access. Leave the chassis unplugged. Install Heyco bushings at each cable
entry on the rear of the deactivator chassis.
3.4 Interlock Connection

If the interlock function is used, connect the interlock input cable either directly from
the scanner or from the audio interlock board to INTLK at J4. Notice the polarity.
See Figure 3.1 for the detail.
3.5 Optional Remote Unit Connection

When configured in IV and VI modes, an optional remote unit containing a sonalert
and the power ON/OFF switch can be connected to the C/PT IX chassis. The
purpose of this unit is to provide easy access to power ON/OFF switch. To connect
the remote unit, remove the wires from SWITCH at J2 of the C/PT IX chassis and cut
off the exposed leads. Install the wires from the remote unit following Table 3.5.
Install Heyco Bushing at the entry of the cable. See Figure 3.1 for the detail.

5.0 C/PT IX DIP Switch Configuration
The C/PT IX can be configured as master or slave unit, operating in IV, V, or VI modes. This
is done by the settings of SW1, SW2, SW3, SW4, and SW5.
In IV mode, the C/PT IX detects the tag first and switches from the low power mode to the
high power mode to destroy the tag.
In V mode, the C/PT IX operates in the high power mode all the time to destroy the tag and
will not detect the tag.
In VI mode, the C/PT IX operates in the high power mode all the time to destroy the tag but
will detect the hard tags and any missed soft tags.
Almost all the C/PT IXs functions are configured by three banks of DIP switches. Refer to
Table 8.3 for a complete listing of the DIP switches and their functions. A simplified table
can also be found on the back of the chassis.
5.1 Antenna Matching

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
DWG. 476736 PAGE 14

Rev. 00
To achieve optimized performance, the C/PT IXs output impedance needs to be matched
to the scanner antenna or the pad it connects to. This is done by using DIP switches SW1
and SW2. Table 5.1 applies to CP IV, V, or VI mode.
Note 1: The cable length is 8 feet for the pads and 6 feet for the scanners.
Note 2: The table is for single pad or scanner. If double, refer to Section 8.0 for details.

6.0 C/PT IX Tune Up and Test Procedure
If you havent already done so, follow the standard procedure to tune the sensing system to
Checkpoints specifications BEFORE tuning the deactivators.
6.1 Center Frequency and Deviation Verify

Since the C/PT IX uses pulse-listen technology, its difficult to measure the center
frequency and the deviation using regular tools. Also, since the C/PT IX uses DDS
(Direct Digital Synthesis), the frequency band can not be adjusted. Use dip meter and
the ear phone to verify the center frequency and the deviation. You should
hear the clicking sound with your earphone from 7.6 8.7 MHz when you sweep the
frequency using the dip meter. See Figure 8.1.
6.2 IV Mode
Follow step 5.2 to configure the chassis
Detection Field Adjustment
When in IV mode, the detection field should be adjusted properly to achieve

the best performance.
To insure that tags will be detected before they are deactivated adjust R11 to
its minimum setting which is approximately 0.7 VDC. See Figure 8.1.
Sensitivity adjustment
When in IV mode, the sensitivity of the receiver should be adjusted properly

to achieve the best performance.
Adjust GAIN (R4) all the way clockwise (maximum) to achieve better
detection. If phantoms occur, adjust GAIN (R4) counterclockwise slightly
until the phantoms stop.
Test the detection height using standard 410 test tag. The detection height
should be comparable to the numbers listed in Table 8.2. If the detection
height is less than expected, go to Appendix A for the detailed tuning.
6.3 V Mode
Follow step 5.3 to configure the chassis. Test the deactivation height using live 410
tags. The deactivation height should be comparable to the numbers listed in Table
8.2. If the deactivation height is worse than expected, go to Appendix A for the
detailed tuning.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
DWG. 476736 PAGE 19

Rev. 00
6.4 VI Mode
Follow step 5.4 to configure the chassis. Test the deactivation height using live 410
tags. The deactivation height should be same or better compared to the numbers
listed in Table 8.2. If the deactivation height is worse than expected, go to Appendix
A for the detailed tuning. Test the detection height using standard 410 test tag, it
should be at least 6 or higher if a pad is used.
6.5 Interlock Turn-On Time Adjustment

When the interlock function is used, adjust INT TIME (R98) clockwise to increase
the interlock Turn-On time from 0.2 - 10 seconds in LO mode (SW3-3 OFF) and 1min
10 min in HI mode (SW3-3 ON). See Figure 8.1.
7.0 After The Installation
Wait until after installation and tuning to show the customer personnel how the deactivator
operates. Ensure that site management is present and let them designate which site
employees will attend. If you have just installed a sensing system and deactivators, explain
the sensing system operation first, then follow with the deactivator operations, as follows:
7.1 Turning the Deactivator On and Off

The deactivator should be turned off when not in use to prevent unauthorized
personnel from deactivating tags.
Show the operation of the power switch, and point out the green light on the chassis,
which shows that the power is on. If the sensing system control module is Model N or
later, mention that a key is required to activate the system. If the sensing system is
the master in a slaved configuration, indicate that it must be on before the
deactivators will function.
7.2 How the Deactivator Works

Show how the deactivator operation is similar to the sensing system in that both
systems transmit radio signals which cause tags to respond with their own radio
signals when they come into range. Explain that each system's receiver recognizes the
tag signal then verifies it. Then explain that the difference between the two is what
each does with the verified tag signal. The sensing system alarms loudly upon tag
verification. The deactivator alarms softly at the chassis and disables the tag. When
deactivation is immediate, there will be no audible alarm.
7.3 When the Tag Doesn't Deactivate

Explain that tags vary in length of time required to deactivate. Some tags deactivate
instantly, while others take longer. It may be that a very few wouldn't deactivate
automatically. If this should occur, just place a Thank You label over the tag.
Mention that any hard tags, hang tags, or non-deactivatable stickers also will not
deactivate automatically. Clerks must either remove these tags, or mask them with a

Rev. 00
Thank You label. For these tags, the deactivator acts as a point of sale detector. It
continues to alarm softly until the tag is removed or masked.
7.4 When the Sensing System Alarms

Employees should follow their management's standard procedure for handling sensing
system alarms, just as if there were no deactivators in the store. If there is no
standard procedure, make a mental note to encourage management to set one. Wait
until after you conclude the training meeting to avoid embarrassing management in
front of the employees.
7.5 Testing the Deactivator

Employees should turn on the deactivator before use and turn off the deactivator
when unattended. An employee verifies power by viewing the green light on the
chassis. Beyond checking the power on switch, there isn't much need to test the
deactivator's function because it will be immediately apparent should a unit fail to
disable tags.
Show employees how to test for deactivation in case site management should want to
test a unit. In IV and VI modes, use a hard tag, hang tag or non-deactivatable sticker.
Hold it about 18" (46 cm) above each deactivator pad and bring it down slowly to the
pad's surface. Point out alarm occurs at about 10.5" (27 cm) height. Take a
deactivatable sticker and move it down in the same manner. Observe the signal stops
as the tag gets closer. Try to alarm the deactivator again with the same tag to verify
that it has been disabled. Make sure that this activity doesn't alarm any other
deactivator or sensing system. In V mode, use DV1000 and live 410 tags to test the
system.
7.6 Operational Problems

Give site management the telephone numbers used for calling Checkpoint service
about equipment problems. Detail how to avoid potential problems by keeping
permanent tags and stickers and also metal objects away from the deactivator pads.
7.7 Tagging
Show how deactivatable stickers can now be hidden in protected merchandise.
Remind the customer that metal and foil objects usually can't be protected by pressure
sensitive tags. Detail that all procedures for tagging merchandise covered in the
User's Guide apply also to deactivatable tags. Detail the necessity of maintaining a
tagging system, use of merchandise value or theft activity to decide which
merchandise to tag, and the need for following an established procedure when the
sensing system alarms.

Appendix A Fine Tuning
DIP switch settings in Table 5.1 and Performance Matrix in Table 8.4 are based on the tests
performed in the lab under following conditions:
1. Use of 6 feet, #18 cables for the scanners

2. Use of 8 feet, #18 cables for the pads
3 Free of any interfering RF systems in an open environment
4. Use of standard 410 test tag in V mode testing
5. Use of standard 410 tags in IV mode testing
In actual installation, these settings may be changed for proper performance of the C/PT IX due to
environmental variations. If you are not able to tune the C/PT IX following the normal tuning
procedure detailed in previous chapters, refer to this chapter for fine tunings.
A.1 Detailed Tuning in IV Mode
To fine tune the C/PT IX in IV mode, change switches SW1 and SW2 so that the average
amplitude of the AC signal at ANT (TP2) is both maximized and as flat as possible. Start
with SW1 and SW2 all off and turn on the DIP switches two at a time beginning at position
(1). The following is an example of tuning 12 x 12 pad.
Scope Settings:
Ch1: Voltage: 5.00v/div Triggered on Ch1
Time: 50us/div
Test point: TP1
Maximized Intensity
A1.1 AC Signal at ANT (TP2) with SW1, 2 ( 1 ) On
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
DWG. 476736 PAGE 27

Rev. 00
A1.2 AC Signal at ANT (TP2) with SW1, 2 ( 5,6 ) On
A1.3 AC Signal at ANT (TP2) with SW1, 2 ( 3,4,5,6 ) On
From A1.1 to A1.3 it's clear that SW1 and SW2 position (1) should be set to on (A1.1) for
12x12 pad because the average amplitude of the AC signal at ANT (TP2) is highest
and more flat compared to the others.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
DWG. 476736 PAGE 28

Rev. 00
If the C/PT IX phantoms, check the sensitivity as follows:
Scope Settings:
Ch1: Voltage: 100mv/div Triggered on Ch1

Time: 200us/div
Test point: LISTEN (TP4)
Maximized Intensity
Ensure the peak amplitude of the AC signal without the tag at LISTEN (TP4) is below 0.5Vp-p as
shown in A1.4.
A1.4 AC Signal at LISTEN (TP4)
Readjust SW1 and SW2 if the signal at LISTEN (TP4) is over 0.5Vp-p.
A.2 Detailed Tuning in V Mode
Follow step A.1 to fine tune SW1 and SW2 without checking sensitivity.
A.3 Detailed Tuning in VI Mode
Follow step A.1 to fine tune the C/PT IX in VI mode for deactivation. If phantoms occur, reduce
the sensitivity by adjusting GAIN (R4) counterclockwise all the way.
