INTRODUCTION
Document Scope
This guide provides additional information required for the installation,
configuration, and operation of MS7580 models equipped with EAS
(MS7580-118-EAS). This guide is intended to be used in conjunction with the
standard MS7580 Genesis, Presentation Area-Imager, Installation and User’s
Guide (PN 00-02290).
Optional Accessories
Cable Compatibility Warning
The MS7580 requires a cable designed for a 12VDC area imager. Do not
attempt to use any cables other than the specified cables listed below.
Any damage incurred from incorrect cable usage will void the limited warranty
shown on page 10.

INSTALLATION
Integrated RF EAS Antenna Connection
The following instructions are applicable for MS7580-118-EAS kits containing an
RS232, MX-5S000-E-3 cable or a USB, MX-5S235-E-3 cable.
Important: Instructions for host cable connections are located in the MS7580
Genesis Installation and User’s Guide (PN 00-02290) under the
Installation section.
1. Locate the connector cover
on the bottom of the imager’s
stand.
2. Remove the socket screw
securing the connector cover.
A 1.5 mm hex key is supplied.
3. Remove the connector cover
plate by lifting up (©) the end and
sliding the cover to the left (§).
4. Insert the 2-pin box plug (A) into
the receptacle on the imager’s
stand (see Figure 2).
5. Insert the cable’s strain relief (B)
into the channel on the stand
(see Figure 2).
6. Re-install the connector cover.
Slide the tab (C) on the cover
into the space between the box
receptacle and the stand
(see Figure 3).
7. Install the socket screw (D) to
secure the cover to the stand
(see Figure 3).

INSTALLATION
EAS System Connection
MS7580-118-EAS models are equipped with an integrated antenna for Electronic
Article Surveillance (EAS) system support. The following information should be
used in conjunction with the manufacturer’s documentation provided with the
EAS system.
Checkpoint® EAS System Integration
Metrologic cables compatible with Checkpoint EAS systems include five
additional wires for device connection. Consult the table below for the
appropriate wire and terminal configuration.

† Interlock functionality requires specific EAS device settings. Consult the
manufacturer’s EAS system documentation for the appropriate switch and timing
potentiometer settings.
Inside the Checkpoint device, two switch banks set the deactivation antenna
tuning. The recommended settings for the switch banks are shown below.
See page 6 for tag deactivation guidelines.
Switch Bank Settings
SW1 SW2
Switches 1 - 6 OFF Switches 1 - 6 OFF
Settings of 0pF to 47pF are recommended to achieve a maximum
deactivation range.

CONFIGURATION
Imager Configuration for EAS Applications
EAS support is disabled by default in the MS7580 series. To enable EAS
support the imager must be configured for a system type and signal mode.
Follow the configuration sequence below to configure the imager for EAS
functionality.
1. Scan the system type bar code below to enable EAS system support.
Enable Checkpoint System EAS Support
³337220
To disable EAS support, scan the Disable EAS Support bar
code below.
Disable EAS Support
³337200
2. Scan either the Enable Continuous Mode bar code or the Enable
Regular Mode bar code.
Enable
Regular Mode
Regular Mode
In regular EAS mode, the imager will signal
the EAS system to activate immediately after
the area imager successfully transmits a bar
code. The area imager will signal the EAS
system to deactivate after the configured
EAS timeout expires.
³146105
Enable
Continuous Mode
Continuous Mode
In continuous mode, the imager will signal
the EAS system to activate when it first
powers on. The area imager will never
deactivate the EAS system while in
continuous mode.
The EAS timeout setting has no effect in
continuous mode.

CONFIGURATION
3. Scan the desired EAS timeout length (applicable for regular mode only).
The EAS timeout length specifies the maximum time that the area
imager will leave the EAS interlock signal asserted following a
successful scan.
If the area imager commonly fails to deactivate EAS tags,
try increasing the value of the timeout setting.
Note: The EAS timeout setting has no effect in continuous
mode.
EAS Timeout 100 ms
³846000
EAS Timeout 500 ms
³846050
EAS Timeout 1s
³8460100
EAS Timeout 5s
³8460500

OPERATION
EAS – Tag Deactivation Range
Antenna Precaution:
The integrated EAS antenna is built into the stand/base of the imager.
Do not enclose or rest the imager’s base in close proximity to dense
metal. The metal may interfere with the antenna decreasing the
expected deactivation range.
Tag Storage Precaution:
Do not store tags within 45.7 cm [18.0″] of the MS7580. Tags stored
closer than 45.7 cm [18.0″] may be unintentionally deactivated. The
precautionary area includes storage areas located under the MS7580.
Proper tag deactivation requires the entire tag to pass through the expected
tag deactivation range indicated in figures 4 and 5.
