CHAPTER ONE
System Overview
Pro-Guard and Uni-Guard Electronic Article Surveillance systems operate with any 58Khz
acousto-magnetic tag. Both systems are plug-and-play, eliminating the need for expensive
technicians. Pro-Guard is a dual pedestal system whereas Uni-Guard is a single pedestal
transceiver system.
The fully digital Pro-Guard and Uni-Guard systems are today’s most technically advanced
58Khz pedestal systems on the market. Both systems are fully digital, software driven, and
have the latest DSP technology that constantly checks the environment, eliminating false
alarms that are common with competing systems.

Transformer Cable Connection
Connect the three pins of the power connector to the corresponding terminals of the
transformer connector. The ground pins from both must be connected, but the 0V and 24V
terminals from the step-down transformer can be swapped to change the polarity of the
system.

* Note: Pin 1 and Pin 3 of the power connector are equivalent to former N and L
terminals for 110/220vac systems. Switching them will switch the system’s phase 180
degrees; same as former 110/220vac systems.

Optional Power Connection for Pro-Guard
There is another 3-pin connector (J5) on the bottom of the PC board. This provides a closer
and more convenient place to connect power from one of the closer pedestals instead of
connecting power directly to the transformer box.

Optional Split System Connection for Pro-Guard (two Tx’s & one Rx)
There is another split system configuration for Pro-Guard, two transmitters and one receiver.
Two interconnections are required to connect two 6-pole connectors from J3 and J12 (see
page 14) on the bottom PC board of the receiver to each transmitter. This provides a
convenient way for one Pro-Guard receiver to slave two transmitters. Please note that a
second transformer box is required. One transformer box can only power one standard
Pro-Guard system (Tx and Rx).

Power Cord Notices
North American Power Supply Cords
This equipment is supplied with an external power line at one end and a molded
receptacle terminal block at the other end. Conductors are color coded white
(neutral), black (line) and green or green/yellow (ground).
Operation of this equipment at voltages exceeding 130vac will require power supply
cords that comply with NEMA configurations.
International Power Supply Cord
This equipment is supplied with an external power line at one end and a molded
receptacle terminal block at the other end. Conductors are CEE color-coded—light
blue (neutral), brown (line) and green/yellow (ground). Other IEC 320 C-13 type
power supply cords can be used if they comply with the safety regulations of the
country in which they are installed.
We recommend that you use a CE approved power cord H05 VV-F or H05 VVH2-F2
(Refer to the electrical code which governs your country for installation of an Anti-Theft
Unit to the main power supply)

Pro-Guard & Uni-Guard Installation Manual
12
Pipe the power line to where the posts will be mounted. Attach the power cord to the field
connector by following the wiring instructions below.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
1. Use a torque of 4.5Kg/cm to screw down the wires.
2. The L and N lines can be swapped, but keep all systems wired IDENTICALLY with
respect to the order of the three power lines.
3. If the Pro-Guard shuts down other manufacturers 58Khz deactivators or cause them
to false alarm, or other systems cause the Pro-Guard to shut down or false alarm,
perform the following action:
SWITCH THE “L” AND “N” TERMINAL POSITIONS OF THE POWER CORD AND
THEN TRY SYCHRON ADJUSTMENT (SEE APPENDIX ENTRY B)
4. We recommend using a power cord with a maximum length of 3 meters.
Dig six holes (10mm diameter, 40mm deep) for installing the base.
Black or Brown = Live
White or Blue = Neutral
Green & Yellow = Ground

Insert the inflationary spirals into the holes.
Set the base in place, allowing the spiral heads to go through the holes in the base.
Place cushion rings, then spring rings and nuts on the spiral heads, and screw the nuts to fix
the base to the ground.
Lift the gate bottom and mount the 3-pin power line plug onto the power socket (J6) on the
bottom of the PC board as shown in the following picture (note red circle around the socket).

Pro-Guard Receiver – Bottom View
There is one external alarm switch J8 on the Pro-Guard receiver and Uni-Guard. The switch
is closed only when an alarm is triggered by the system. To connect the system to an external
alarm, first press down the yellow button, then insert the two ends of the external alarm wire
into each of the wire receptacle holes and release the yellow button. The wire will now be held
in place by the connector. The external alarm switch has a rating of 1A@250vac/24vdc.

Notes:
1. Wire length to the dry contact circuit is limited to 20 feet.
2. To prevent high voltage noise from being introduced into
the Pro-Guard or Uni-Guard and degrading the system’s
performance, it is highly recommended that you use a
24vdc output relay.

On Pro-Guard systems there is an interconnection between the receiver and transmitter.
Connect the Interconnection Line Plug onto socket J3 (6-pin connector) on the PC Board as
shown in the picture below (both transmitter and receiver, circled in red).
