PN XXXX, you MUST select Extension Cable in 
the Antenna Setup for the unit to function properly. 

1.  Plug your laptop programming cable into the 

POS 1/SERV port of the controller. 

2.  Click the desktop icon to start the configurator 

software. The Setup Screen appears. For 
control definitions, see the Software 
Configurator Guide.

4.  Use the Detection Height setting to adjust the 

detection height for the checkout environment 
and to compensate for special mounting such 
as metal countertops. 

5.  Click the EXIT button on the configurator to 

exit the configurator. 

* 

ScanMax IS Enhanced Detection Mode Option. To 
enable 16.5–17.8cm (6.5–7in) detection with 10.2–
12.7cm (4–5in) deactivation, set detection 
compensation on the diagnostics screen to +20 for X 
and Y. 
If only “one” ScanMax IS antenna is used it MUST be 
plugged into the Antenna 1 port or the unit will not 
function properly. 

Follow this procedure (except step 3) for each 
antenna as autosync should be completed only 
once. Manual operation must be used thereafter, 
as autosync will take both antennas out of their 
previous sync delay settings. 

If false deactivation occurs, the configuration 
default values need to be modified as follows:  

1.  Plug your laptop programming cable into the 

POS 1/SERV port of the controller. 

2.  Start the AMB-9020 software configurator by 

clicking on the desktop icon. The Setup Screen 
appears (see Software Configurator Guide). 

3.  On the Setup screen, click the RESYNC 

button. Verify auto sync is enabled. If 
unexplained deactivation discontinues, 
readjust the Detection Height setting; 
otherwise, continue. 

4.  Ensuring no label/tag is close to the antenna, 

reduce the Detection Height setting one level 
at a time until the system does not false 
deactivate (firing without a label/tag present). 
Write this level down. 

5.  Set Detection Height level one step higher. 

Note: Maximum detection and deactivation 
height may be reduced compared with that 
listed in the table due to ambient noise and 
mounting locations. Note the new height. 

6.  If these steps fail to stop false deactivation, call 

the Customer Response Center for service.
