    LIBRARY SECURITY PEDESTAL 2 5 Configuration All configuration operations of L-SP2 systems are carried on with the L-SP2 Configuration Utility. Understanding the L-SP2 Synchronization Process To determine the status of each EAS anti-theft bit, each pedestal generates a short but substantial radio frequency burst whose energy can interfere with other nearby EAS pedestals.
  • Page 21 Configuration Figure 8: Configuration Sample (1 Master/ 4 Slaves) Synchronization burst MASTER SLAVE1 SLAVE2 SLAVE 3 SLAVE 4 In this case it is recommended to put the Master in the middle of the Slaves for a better propagation and detection of the synchronization burst. Table below describes the maximum Slaves pedestals number depending on chips types to be detected.

Reset Com Reset the communication to the gate regarding Com Mode, Com Port and IP/Port settings. Release Com Release the communication to the gate.
  • Page 26 LIBRARY SECURITY PEDESTAL 2 Memory Reading When selected, the L-SP2 will try to read memory of items (with EAS activated) passing through the gate. Synchro Select whether the pedestal is to be configured as the Master or as the Slave (1, 2, …7) Only one Master can be selected with several slaves.
  • Page 27 Configuration Suspend EAS Click the button to stop EAS detection. Another click resumes EAS detection. Once you have set the basic configuration check that all the slaves are well synchronized. To do so, L-SP2 electronics unit green LEDs should flicker cyclically. If not, proceed to the advanced configuration stage.

  • Page 41: Operation

    When a TAGSYS RFID tag enters the electromagnetic field between two pedestals, some of the RF energy (AC) is converted to DC energy and used to power the TAGSYS RFID tag’s microchip. The remainder is used to carry the TAGSYS RFID tag’s EAS signal code back to the electronics unit via the antennas.
