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

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.
