Figure 6 - Open Device Manager o When Device Manager is open, navigate to Ports (COM & LPT). The Hardware Key will be displayed as USB Serial Port (COMX). Select this port in the AM ACE Application and press Connect Figure 7 - Manually Find COM Port 1.4 Software Setup When you have successfully connected to the AM ACE and have all pedestals connected, you can begin adjustment of the system. Settings are saved immediately to the system after pressing the appropriate button (Set, Apply, Checkbox, etc.) near the setting. When entering a number value, press the ENTER key to confirm the setting and save it to the system!
On the CONFIG page, select the configuration which matches your pedestal setup. It is important that any additional RX pedestals are connected to the same port number as is shown in the configuration diagrams!
On the RX page, start with the following settings:
o Gain = 8 o Preset Environment = Environment 2 Criteria 1 SET value = 300 for O-loop and 150 for 8-loop o Before making any more adjustments, move to the SYNC page On the SYNC page, synchronize with any surrounding AM systems o Your system (blue pulses) should be aligned with any other AM systems (shown as red pulses). The RIGHT sides of the pulses are most important for alignment!
Go back to the RX page and adjust according to the environment o Try to set Gain so that Tag & Bckg levels are green or yellow o Criteria 1 SNR is the signal-to-noise ratio threshold and will have a large effect on sensitivity and false alarm elimination. Reduce the SET values to increase sensitivity o Criterias 2-4 can be adjusted with sliders or turned off completely o o For extremely hostile environments, use Filter #2. Noise will be reduced, but detection will also decrease For high interference, it is possible to reduce the width of the RX window. This will reduce the interference and/or make it possible to fit your RX reception in between other pulses. Go to the TX page and use the following settings:
o TX Power = 150 It is best to set the TX Power so that the Top and Bottom loops are evenly matched and within the green or yellow areas. o Sweep = Disabled Go to the ALARMS page and turn on the appropriate alarms for your pedestals o Click on the box(es) to turn ON alarms they will be green when alarm is turned on TECHNICAL MANUAL AM ACE PAGE 5 of 18 This document was created to provide the intended recipient documentation for technician purposes only.

ACE systems are ideally used for small exits (3 or less pedestals) or for cash desk installations. 2.1 Types of Pedestals Amersec offers two types of AM ACE pedestals, ACE (also called the Master pedestal) or ACE RX (just called RX) ACE = Master antenna ACE RX = Receiver antenna identical to ACE Master but with RX electronics only. Must be connected to an ACE Master Up to 2 RX pedestals can be connected to the ACE. All possible pedestal configurations are shown in the ACE Application on the Config page If you have trouble with high interference, try to configure the ACE Master as a TX antenna and place it nearest the source of interference. The interference will affect Mono and RX pedestals, but it will not affect a Transmitter!
Figure 8 - Interference Configuration Mono or RX pedestals should be placed at least 2 meters away from LCD screens, depending on the size of the screen!
2.2 Cable Requirements Required* Tools:
RJ-50 Crimping Tool RJ-50 plugs
*Only if you need to cut/reconnect any cables RX cable = RJ50 connectors with STRAIGHT connection (same colors on both ends). 3m of 10-core flex cable is supplied with each RX pedestal.

It allows you to easily synchronize with other AM systems, which is REQUIRED for all AM systems!
The Sync Page also allows you to view all other signals in the environment, which is very helpful for troubleshooting interference. The BLUE rectangles are a REPRESENTATION of YOUR system. The RED signal is EVERYTHING else in the environment, including OTHER AM systems. To synchronize, move the Sync Delay slider so that your TX pulses (blue) are on top of the red pulses from the other AM system. It is most important to align the RIGHT sides (falling edges) of the pulses. This will introduce a time delay to your system so that it always pulses at the same time as the other system(s). Alternatively, you can press the Auto synchro button, which will calculate the time delay and move it for you. This is a one-
time calculation it does not mean that the system will continuously auto synchronize if something changes!
You may also enter the time delay (Sync delay) as a number and then press the Enter key to save the value to the system. If you have MULTIPLE systems in the same store or nearby, it is best to manually enter the SAME number on all systems for optimal synchronization. That is assuming that the power phasing is the same on all systems.

Figure 14 - Properly Synchronized System Polarity of Voltage Zero Crossing: changes the phase by 180 - same as reversing the Live/Neutral wires on the mains power Synchronization of TX: selects which phase is used for the synchro calculations Synchro Settings: synchronize your system by moving the slider, or manually entering a number, or pressing the Auto synchro button (does not continuously synchronize it is a 1-time calculation) TX-RX Delay: changes the time delay between the TX pulse and the RX window. This is an important setting for avoiding resonance and ringdown (leftover TX signal which appears in the RX window as a tag causes false alarms the TX signal is usually from your own system but can also come from nearby systems). To avoid ringdown, either decrease TX Power or increase TX-RX delay. Read Array: scan the environment with your RX1 pedestal by selecting Auto read and Hold max and then pressing the Read Array button Axis Scale: change the y-axis scale on the graph to zoom in or out depending on the size of the signal Type: by default, the Sync page will display all signals detected in the environment. For more detailed viewing of signals, select D/A. You can now view different signals for each antenna basically just more details than what is displayed on the RX page.

As a starting point, set the GAIN between 6-8 and set the Preset Environment to Environment 2. Then adjust the GAIN and SNR SET VALUE based on detection and interference levels (false alarms). The four Criteria can be used to fine-tuning the sensitivity without changing the overall signal level (Gain). RX windows are displayed according to the selected configuration on the Config page. Gain: amplitude of the detected signal. Signals from tags as well as interference signals will be increased/decreased by changing this value. Criteria LEDs: indicates which criteria are TRUE (green) or FALSE (red). When all criteria are TRUE (green) for either O-loop or 8-
loop, then the system will alarm. It is normal that these will be flashing randomly, which is caused by interference signals. Use these indications to determine which criteria(s) should be changed for optimum performance. SNR Setting: criteria 1 setting for signal-to-noise ratio (alarm threshold). Based on detection and false alarm rates, decrease the SET value for more sensitivity, or increase the SET value for less sensitivity. To see the MAX signal levels in the environment, press the Reset button but do not place a tag near the system. This will display the maximum signal level without tags. The SET value should be higher than the MAX signal. After entering a number, press the Enter key to save it to the system. Signal Levels: displays the signals in the environment. Do not be too concerned with Level Input the most important are the Tag and Background levels. The O-loop signals should always be HIGHER than the 8-loop signals. If not, reverse the wires on ONE of the loops. For best performance, the Tag and Bckg levels should be green or yellow. If they are red, try to reduce GAIN and make sure your system is properly synchronized. The O-loop or 8-loop can be disabled by un-checking the box beside the indicators.

Detected Frequency: shows the detected frequency. Really only useful if something is nearby transmitting 58kHz or you have resonance problems. Tags are detected too quickly for this to be a useful indication for tags/labels. Pedestal Quick Adaptation: the system will automatically adjust some filter settings based on environment. This button is used ONLY when testing as after some time the system will reduce sensitivity from multiple testing of the tags. This resets the system back to current environment conditions. Criteria Settings: fine-tuning of criteria settings for more advanced setting of the system. Can be used to make the system more/less sensitive without changing the overall signal (Gain). Use the criteria LED indication to help you with these settings. Some criteria can be disabled by un-checking the box beside the criteria. Preset Environment: automatically changes the criteria for common presets. Does not change Gain Pre-Alarm: specifies how many times a tag must be detected before an alarm occurs. Recommended to use 1 RX Filter Type: filter #2 can be used in extremely hostile environments. Extra filters are added which reduces interference levels. However, detection will be affected so it is recommended to use filter #1 if at all possible DSP Gain: changes the software digital gain applied to the signal. Use only in the situation that the signal level is so low that the system is not able to calculate values for detection RX Window Width: changes the length of time that the system is receiving signals from the environment. 3.4 TX Page Figure 16 Transmitter Settings TECHNICAL MANUAL AM ACE PAGE 12 of 18 This document was created to provide the intended recipient documentation for technician purposes only.

TX Power A & B: recommended setting is so that the Measured Current is within the green or yellow levels. For wide distances this can be increased, but make sure that ringdown does not occur. If so, then TX power must be decreased or TX-RX delay
(Sync page) increased. TX Config: used only for tuning of the TX jumpers. The top and bottom loops should transmit a similar MEASURED POWER. If not, or if Measured Power is low (less than 4A) then the antenna may need to be re-tuned. Temperature Settings: specifies the temperature at which the transmitters will turn OFF to avoid overheating. When the system cools down, they will turn back on and resume normal operation. 3.5 Alarms Page Figure 17 - Alarm Settings Configuration Table: grid for turning on/off alarms. Alarms which are turned on are represented by a green box, while jammer alarms are represented by a red box. Click on each box to turn it on/off.

They are dry-contact (non-powered) relays. Maximum connected load is 2A. Each relay has a normally-open (NO) and normally-closed (NC) contact. Any alarm or device can be connected to the relays, provided they are connected to their own power supply. Common devices triggered by the ACE external relays are sirens, lights, CCTV, wireless pagers, etc. A common wiring diagram for connecting an external alarm is shown below. RELAY1 NO C NC 12VDC Figure 20 - External Alarm Wiring Diagram 6.1 TROUBLESHOOTING 6.1 THE SYSTEM IS BEEPING CONSTANTLY AFTER BEING POWERED ON This indicates an error the most common is that the system cannot find the zero-crossing of the mains frequency. Try the following steps:
Try connecting it to a different mains outlet a dedicated power source is recommended Disconnect all cables and restart the system Open the pedestal make sure that all power LEDs are ON and all wires/cables connected well Make sure that the Neutral-Earth voltage is no more than 5V. Ideally it should be 0V. Try connecting to the software if possible, reset to default values (Settings page) 6.2 I HAVE NO DETECTION Usually you will have at least a small amount of detection even if the environment is extremely noisy. This is assuming you have 0% detection. If the alarm counter is counting alarms:
Make sure your alarms are turned on Alarm page Make sure the alarm cable is not disconnected from the top of the pedestal If the alarm counter is NOT counting alarms:
Check your TX Measured Power if it is very low check TX cables, TX tuning, and make sure loop wires are connected well Check Hardware Status LEDs, EEPROM, and RAM in the application 6.3 MY RX INDICATES PEDESTAL ERROR Verify that your Config setting is correct This can indicate a broken cable test with a known good cable Test the antenna on a different RX port if working the other RX port may be defective If available, test a different antenna with the same cable and same port if working the RX Preamp may be defective TECHNICAL MANUAL AM ACE PAGE 15 of 18 This document was created to provide the intended recipient documentation for technician purposes only.

If the Pedestal Error is intermittent, this can indicate high noise/interference on the RX cable which is affecting the communication signal. If the problem is bad enough to affect detection of the system, it may be necessary to use a heavier shielded cable or move the cable to a different position 6.4 I HAVE POOR DETECTION Increase RX Gain This is usually caused by either not setting the system sensitive enough, or high interference affecting the system. For higher sensitivity:
Decrease the SET value for Criteria 1 SNR. It is usually sufficient to decrease the O loop value Use RX Filter Type 1 Increase criteria 2-4 Increase TX Power be careful not to set TX Power too high as the system may start to resonate. If interference is high:
Decrease RX Gain and try to make the detection acceptable by increasing the sensitivity of the Criteria User RX Filter Type 2 Move the antennas closer together Change RX Window Width to minimum 7.1 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS & FEATURES Features Excellent detection of AM DR labels and hard tags All electronics integrated inside of pedestals Digital Signal Processing (DSP) Advanced, customizeable filters for false-alarm elimination Software tuneable Integrated jamming detection Choice of RGB alarm light color and behavior Integrated digital oscilloscope for advanced diagnostics 2 programmable DT contact relays for connecting additional alarm circuits Technical Specifications Power Input:
