Introduction
• The system has been installed to deter people from taking merchandise from the
store without it passing through approved point of sale or transaction points.
• Without an alert work force, systems will not function correctly. Remember, the
Checkpoint system is a tool that leverages your existing security policies. As is true
of all EAS platforms, this RF
‐ EAS system can only be as effective as the people who
operate it.
• The operation of the system should never be discussed with anyone, no matter how
official they look. You could be talking to a potential shoplifter.
• An answer such as ‘It’s an inventory checking system’ should satisfy the curious. If
not, tell them you do not know the technical mechanics of the system, but you
know it is very effective.
• The system is utilized by tagging merchandise with special Checkpoint & Alpha hard
tags, keepers and labels. During a normal transaction, the cashier will remove any
hard tags or keepers and will deactivate any labels by passing the merchandise over
a deactivation field. The deactivation field turns off the signal produced by the tag
and the customer can exit the store without causing the system to alarm.
• The system works on harmless radio waves. The basic principle being that when a
tuned circuit (or a tag) passes through the energy field produced at the door
system, the electrical properties of this field are changed. The system will detect
the changes and produce an alarm (with sound, light or both) until the tag is moved
from the detection zone.
