Introduction
Congratulations on your new Checkpoint Systems, Inc. Electronic Article
Surveillance (EAS) equipment, the best in retail anti
‐
theft technology! Your EAS
system is designed to deter shoplifting and provide an unobtrusive shopping
experience that speeds the flow of customer transactions. Checkpoint’s solutions
are flexible enough to be visible or undetectable as required, from wide openings
between pedestals with open sight lines to tighter control systems that physically
remind customers that merchandise is secured.
Behind the Technology
Checkpoint’s leading
‐
edge technology uses radio frequency (RF) waves that are
emitted by the pedestals at the entrance to the establishment. This creates an
invisible wall between the pedestals that searches only for live Checkpoint tags
attached to merchandise. If the tag is not deactivated prior to the merchandise
leaving the store, the pedestals produce an alarm – in the form of a light, a
sound, and if desired, an additional signal from a device such as a voice alarm or
counter. The loss prevention procedures at each store determine several factors
including type of alarm, length of alarm and how to respond to an alarm.
The EAS pedestal sends a radio signal into the
intended detection area. If that signal detects a
Checkpoint tag, an alarm will sound.
