NEXUS AM Deactivator 

 

 

 

 

 

Configuration 

v2.1 

Page 16 of 26 

Configuration 

The NEXUS AM Deactivator must be configured with 

Cross Point Device Explorer

. This 

chapter covers all settings. 

It is expected that you already have experience with Cross Point Device Explorer. Please 
refer  to  the 

Cross  Point  Device  Explorer  User  Manual

  and  the 

Technical  Manual 

NEXUS  AM

  in  case  you  need  further  information.  All manuals  can  be  downloaded  from 

www.crosspoint.nl.  

7.1 

Other devices 

The AM Deactivator is located in the 

‘Other devices’

 section of Device Explorer. 

 

Figure 9: Other devices 

 

After entering the ‘Other devices’ screen, the Scope view of the AM Deactivator is shown. 
The  scope  view  shows  the  threshold  level  (red  line)  and  signal  level  (blue  line). 
Furthermore a noise level indicator is visible that shows the amount of ambient noise that 
is being picked-up by the deactivator. 

The threshold level can be adjusted either manually or automatically. In automatic mode, 
the deactivator will continuously adjust the threshold level to the best value, dependent of 
the ambient noise. 

The  NEXUS  AM  deactivator  must  detect  a  label  first  before  it  will  deactivate  the  label. 
The  detection  height  of  a  label  is  determined  by  the 

Sensitivity

  setting.  The  detection 

sensitivity  can  be  adjusted  manually  between  1  (lowest  sensitivity)  and  10  (highest 
sensitivity).
