All products that are subject to the WEEE Directive supplied by Checkpoint are compliant with the WEEE marking
requirements. Such products are marked with the "crossed out wheelie bin" WEEE symbol shown below in
accordance with European Standard EN 50419.
Information for Users
According to the requirements of European Union member state WEEE legislation, the following user information is
provided in English for all Checkpoint supplied products subject to the WEEE directive.
This symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that the product must not be
disposed of with normal waste. Instead, it is your responsibility to dispose of your waste
equipment by arranging to return it to a designated collection point for the recycling of waste
electrical and electronic equipment. By separating and recycling your waste equipment at the
time of disposal you will help to conserve natural resources and ensure that the equipment is
recycled in a manner that protects human health and the environment. For information about
how to recycle your Checkpoint supplied waste equipment, please contact the Checkpoint
Systems, Inc. Field Service office in your region. Customers can obtain this information from
their system User Guide.
REACH Compliance Statement
The European REACH Regulation 1907/2006 on Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of
Chemicals (REACH), Annex XVII entered into force in June 2009, and affects all companies producing, importing,
using, or placing products on the European market. The aim of the REACH regulation is to ensure a high level of
protection of human health and the environment from chemical substances.
Checkpoint Systems’ substances management system follows and complies with the current revision of the REACH
Regulation on the substances as identified by ECHA (European Chemical Agency).
Checkpoint Systems’ products are considered articles as defined in REACH Article 3 (3).
These products/articles under normal and reasonable conditions of use do not have intended release of
substances. Therefore the requirement in REACH Article 7 (1) (b) for registration of substances contained in these
products/articles does not apply.
Checkpoint Systems’ products/articles do not contain Substances of Very High Concern or if there are SVHC in the
product/article, the content is less than the 0.1% (wt/wt) as defined by REACH Article 57, Annex XIV, Directive
67/548/EEC. Therefore the requirement in REACH Article 7 (2) to notify ECHA if a product/article contains more
than 0.1% wt/wt of an SVHC and tonnage exceeding 1 tonne per importer per year is not applicable.
Checkpoint Systems’ European operations do not manufacture or import chemicals, therefore Checkpoint Systems
no obligation to register substances.
Packaging Compliance Statement
No CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons), HCFCs (hydrofluorocarbons) or other ozone depleting sub-stances are used in
packaging material. Chromium, lead, mercury, or cadmium are not intentionally added to packaging materials and
are not present in a cumulative concentration greater than 100 ppm as incidental impurities. No halogenated
plastics or polymers are used for packaging material. Checkpoint complies with the EU Directive 94/62/E.

CHECKPOINT SYSTEMS, INC. FOR EXTERNAL USE
Document No. 10071753 Rev. 02 Page 10 of 28
2.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
2.1 EAS Features
2.1.1 Radio Frequency Band
Detection Limited to 8.2 MHz
•No “Application Based Detection Mode” (7.6, 9.0 detection).
•NEO 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. Now the only supported band is 8.2 - different from Evolve/Liberty Systems.
Currently for NEO Antennas, please consider alterative tuning & dual frequency no longer supported.
2.1.2 Electronic Mode of Operation
Detector mode was introduced first. PAB/SAB mode is now available. The two available Electronic Modes
of Operation are described below. Both modes are considered Pulse Listen technology, but mode selection
will cause TX/RX differences described in more detail below.
Any PRI model antenna should run in "Detector" mode, whereas a PAB should run in "PAB/SAB."
The NEO System Controller and EAS Sensor require minimum Software, Firmware and FPGA version to
support PAB/SAB. New supported FPGA version(s) will also support the alternate mode which is Detector.
Please note a physical PAB is technically allowed to operate in "Detector" mode (and a PRI model could
run in PAB/SAB), and when the result is a System running in the non-standard mode—whether the FS
Technician does so intentionally or unknowingly—this does NOT cause a regulatory compliance issue,
but it is expected that system performance would suffer. Therefore, always install the recommended FPGA
(Software/Firmware package) and set up your pedestals in the mode which supports your hardware use case.
2.1.3 Configurable alarm sound/light color
Using DMS (see section 6.0), the Field Service Technician is able to choose from a set of pre-loaded Sound
Files (.mp3 format) or otherwise import a file, a replacement sound requested by the customer, then assign it
as the default EAS Alarm sound. The color is also selectable from a range of visual colors and patterns.

3.0 QUICK CONNECT INTERFACES
All NEO Family Antennas are equipped with a technology called "Quick Base" and required
Quick Connect Cables. The minimum three (3) cables are DC Power Input, General Purpose
Outputs (GPO) (Relay contact pairs) and General Purpose Inputs (Digital Inputs) (GPI).
•Base configuration has 3 cables total, and the "with Hub" antennas have 4 cables.
•The number of cables needed will vary per system, per site.
Minimum connections:
Maximum connections:
1. +24V DC Power
Figure 4: Quick Connect
1. +24V DC Power
2. GPO- J6
3. GPI- J8
4. Network
Figure 5: Max. cables
Network is available on the "with Hub" models only.
There is no way to repurpose the GPI or GPO cable to provide
this feature, because other hardware is missing.
•Mounting occurs immediately after securing cable connections. Critical details are below:
Figure 6: Pedestal Mounting
•One of these is required:
2.5mm T-Wrench
or 2.5mm Allen key
•Each Extension Cable gets aligned to the appropriate
permanent-installation cable. Three (3) RJ-45 connectors are
provided in the installation kit, for building cables.
•Finally, the Field Service Technician / Installer will bring the
antenna upright (see Figure 6), and then tighten screws.

4.0 SYSTEM HARDWARE
4.1 System Controller
Excluding SAB Antennas, every NEO includes one (1) EAS Sensor and 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. An example of a high-level (software)
operation is reporting to the cloud; an example of a low-level (firmware) operation is
controlling the hardware.
For wireless functionality, the System Controller relies on auxiliary devices (e.g.
Bluetooth dongle). The USB Ports and Ethernet port are described in more detail below.
The system controller receives 5.0V / 3A regulated DC power from the Light and Speaker
board covered in section 4.2.1 below.
4.1.1 USB Ports on the System Controller
There are three (3) connection ports are USB Ports and one (1) is an Ethernet port (RJ-45) on one side of the
System Controller. Each USB Port has a designated function (e.g. the port for Bluetooth; the port for the
Data cable). When you need to swap (or install) an accessory module, be sure you are installing your device
in the correct port. The Ethernet port is a wired "Service Interface," used only by MFG and/or field service.
4.1.2 Spare Part Information
The complete "Upper Bay / SOM Assemblies" are different per system.

4.2.2 LED Board
The LED Board has 10 LEDs which are each comprised of 3 RGB LEDs, 3 sub-LEDs per every 1 Multi-
color LED. The LED Board also has a small momentary switch, which is a push button; only Field Service
is expected to use this interface.
4.2.3 Speaker
NEO features an audio speaker, which is distinctly different from a piezo type "buzzer". Read more about
the Speaker in section 5.6.
4.2.4 USB Devices
The USB Bluetooth module (dongle), WiFi module and Cell Modem module are all similar in form-factor.
WiFi and Cell Modem are mutually exclusive options (one or the other). Refer to the installation manual for
more detail.

Note: An extension cable is used. If you have issues with a device, you can try removing the extension
cable. You can also try reseating the connector or repositioning the module.
4.3 EAS Sensor (TR4300 board)
The TR4300 (CKP P/N 10053101) is a TX/RX transceiver we call "EAS Sensor" or
"TR4300 board."
Figure 8: EAS Sensor
The EAS Sensor gives rise to the EAS Detection System. To successfully detect real
alarm events and not trigger due to “phantoms,” the EAS Sensor has electronic tuning and
digital signal processing. RF tuning is outside the scope of this document.
There are no jumpers on the TR4300. Like earlier "Evolve" main boards, the TR4300 has
an FPGA (field programmable gate array) with processor and memory functions. Metal
Shields are equipped (separate shields for Rx and Tx circuit sections). Manufacturing

ensures tightness. Connectors are also "dressed" or pre-installed at the time of
manufacture.
The TR4300 board is mounted in a subassembly referred to as the "Cage" or sometimes
"Board Carrier" (also "PCBA" for PCB Assembly). The entire cage is the spare. See Table
4-2 for the spare or upgrade part numbers (SAP Material code).
At the time of this publication, all actively manufactured NEO systems require TR4300
(CKP P/N 10053101) with hardware Revision 11 (or later). Refer to the NEO Installation
Manual for details on how to check the Revision of your hardware.

4.4 A1207 PAB/SAB Splitter Board
As described above, each EAS Sensor has 2 RF transmit/receive circuits. When running in
PAB/SAB, the 2 transmit/receive circuits operate in a different mode, and they are
physically connected to PCB hardware called the "Splitter Board" (CKP P/N 10034597)
which features a 1:2 RF split and LED signal routing.
With PAB/SAB, there is a "Primary" pedestal which contains the EAS Sensor (TR4300)
and a Splitter Board (A1207), and there is a "Secondary" pedestal, which contains only
the Splitter Board (A1207). From the EAS Sensor, 1 transmitter controls the primary side
and 1 transmitter controls the secondary side.
Every set of adjacent pedestals includes one splitter board in the Primary and one in the
Secondary. Cables are ran between the devices. The terminology "PAB" and "SAB"
applies because the splitter board can be used either as the "Primary Antenna Board"
(PAB) (or Primary Splitter Board), and when installed at the secondary, the splitter board
can be referred to as the "Secondary Antenna Board" (SAB) or Secondary Splitter Board.
Unlike Evolve 2, there are no required jumper settings to reconfigure for PAB or SAB
operation. The only jumper on the PCB is used only at the SAB for selecting the LED
color.

There is no BUZZER I/O on the NEO Splitter board.
Note that both PAB and SAB systems also contain one "Coupler board" (impedance
matching board). The diagram below shows the 8.2 MHz RF signal path (other cabling
and hardware features not depicted), showing how TX1 and TX2 are used in this scenario:

4.5 Hub Board
The A1204 Hub Module delivers optional features, namely Wired connectivity, utilizing
the LAN9514 USB Hub and Ethernet Controller IC.
There is 1 USB Upstream port – used for the Upper Bay data connection (USB 2.0
interface with the System Controller).
USB Downstream ports (4) are used as follows:
1. EAS Sensor connection (USB to UART).
2. External USB-to-Ethernet dongle which is only used on the Master system (which
connects to the External network). The Hub Board has an 10/100 PHY Ethernet
switch (unmanaged switch).
3. RFID Reader - USB data - via J19 board to board connector, 2x8 Pin Header.
The Hub Board also has load switches, allowing it to supply +12V DC to the RFID
Reader. The Hub Board also has two (2) RJ-45 connectors. These are labeled OUT and
IN, and have the Sync dedicated pins for Sync Out / Sync In chaining. 8-Conductor
Cables (Shielded Cat 5e / Cat 6 or better) are installed between the systems next to one
another, allowing all the RFID reader/antenna systems to maintain synchronization.

4.6 RFID Reader
The NEO "Fast Track" RFID Reader (CKP P/N 10079516) is installed in NEO RF/RFID
Dual system. These are not officially released but can be considered released for beta
installation (i.e. the hardware can be installed for test; beta systems are always labeled
"Not for sale"). The RFID Reader is part of the Lower Bay "Cage" assembly. There is
RG-316 coaxial cable pre-wiring for 2 RFID Antenna Arrays (2 Patch per array) which
are part of the main sub-assembly. The hardware wiring is considered Active/Passive.
The RF/RFID system hardware includes an I/O interface board for cabling between
adjacent pedestals. Each pedestal's active side must be facing the neighboring pedestal's
passive side. This is the standard RFID hardware layout requiring in-floor cabling.
4.7 Remaining Hardware
4.7.1 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 NEO Coupler boards, there is no tuning (no PCB
Jumpers, which is different from Evolve).
4.7.2 GPIO Module
NEO also features a simple I/O board which two (2) of the Quick Connect Cables are pre-installed into from
the factory. The Quick Start guide offers complete pin-out tables and basic software setup instructions.
The available interfaces are defined below.
GPO J6
This RJ-45 port is for triggering external devices.
There are Relay NO/NC contact pairs, which must be enabled using DMS.
2 unique relays are present (2 available in hardware/software).
GPI J8
This RJ-45 port is for accepting input signals.
There are 4 inputs which can be "mapped" to various events (advanced setup required).
CPiD-RF J5
There is also a CPiD-RF Serial Data interface available (opening the system is required); the ferrite core in the
installation kit shall be used on the Cat 5e / Cat 6 or better cable, if installed, to the J5 serial port.
The NEO Installation Manual describes the hard-wired connection which is used to integrate CPiD-RF
Deactivator (or deactivator chain using the CPiD Communications Module or "CAM").
4.7.3 Quick Connect Cables
See section 3.0 above (cables are identified and their functionality is described).
In the installation process, the cable interfaces and cables are joined before the mounting process.

The power connection is a "tool less" connector (only wire strippers/cutters are needed to prep the wire
leads, no screw driver is required).
If the provided connector fails during use, the FS Technician may install the DC power using a UL-
approved wire connector junction such as 2-Position terminal block (CKP P/N 7155630) or equivalent.
Insulated connectors with a locking lever are also common (approved for use so long as they meet
local/national code for low voltage wiring and have UL-approval).
