Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS)
Some scanner configurations include an integrated Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) antenna.
The scanner's integrated EAS deactivation antenna requires an EAS host cable. This Y-cable connects to the
scanner's host port at one end, and splits to the host and the EAS system at the other end.
Installing
Checkpoint EAS Model Compatibility
The scanner is intended for use with Checkpoint CP-VII, CP-IX, and CP-XI systems. It does not support CP-IV and
other low-power receiver-based EAS deactivation systems.
Considerations
The Checkpoint CP-VII system generates a periodic burst of electromagnetic energy that deactivates EAS tags
brought near the scanner. To avoid interference with the scanner’s operation, take the following precautions when
installing the EAS system:
• Position the EAS antenna box as far as possible from the scanner (at least 6 in. / 15.24 cm.)
• Position the EAS antenna, EAS antenna box, EAS control cable, and EAS controller box as far as possible
from the scanner’s host and power cables.
Checkpoint Contact Information
Contact your local Checkpoint representative to install the EAS cable to the Checkpoint Deactivation System.
NOTE: EAS is available only on scanner models that support Checkpoint EAS.
