4. EAS Alarm

If the tag enters the field of the EAS RAD, the tag will self-alarm and emit its own coded-signal to the

EAS RAD that is typically connected to an external alarm or other device.

Notice: by remote control CON button, user can switch EAS RAD alarming between internal

alarm buzzer and external alarm relay to external alarm device.

During this alarm condition the tag LED will flash at a fast rate. At normal armed status, tag will flash

one time per second. Returning the tag back to the Field area will cause the tag to stop self-alarming.

5. Anti-Tamper Alarm

Tampering with the Sentinel tag will cause it to self-alarm. Tampering includes opening without first

disarming, prying it open, or in the case of lanyard tags cutting the lanyard. During this alarm

condition the tag LED will flash at a 3/sec rate.

When the tag’s tamper alarm goes off, it will also trigger the EAS RAD if within its range. The tag

alarm may be silenced with the POS RAD.

Notice: POS RAD must be set to Disalarm mode to stop the alarming status of tag. See above POS

RAD mode setup and LED indicator chart.
