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
• 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
Each NEO operates as an EAS detector with pulse-listen technology (same platform as Evolve).
Currently NEO does not support the Primary/Secondary configuration.
2.1.3 Configurable alarm sound/light color
), 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 intensities.
as the default EAS Alarm sound. The color is also selectable from a range of visual colors and intensities.
2.1.4 External USB Interface, GPIO Interfaces
NEO’s EAS Sensor has a USB Type B port at the top. A long USB cable extends from the EAS Sensor’s
location to the system controller. This is called the lower to upper bay data connection.
location to the system controller. This is called the lower to upper bay data connection.
NEO also features a simple I/O board. It has RJ-45 connectors to provide inputs/outputs and an RS-232
interface. Some (or even most) installations will not feature anything connected to these ports. External
devices that use a relay contact pair (for example, a DVR Trigger) can be supported.

2.2 System Controller
Every NEO has an EAS Sensor and the (factory installed) antenna wiring, a system
controller and control cabling, and the power supply. The System Controller is one of the
central devices. USB devices and the Light and Speaker board interface directly with it.

central devices. USB devices and the Light and Speaker board interface directly with it.
The 64-Bit processor manages alarms from the EAS sensor, and other critical aspects such
as storage of configuration data and event data. It relies on the USB ports (one high-speed
USB 3.0 port for the EAS Sensor) and an Ethernet port (used only by field service).

The system controller receives 5.0V / 3A regulated DC power from a Light and Speaker
