Operating the Scanner 5 - 17
Sensormatic Controller
The Sensormatic controller includes a custom vertical and horizontal, high inductance antenna. The horizontal
antenna is installed below the platter, on the middle housing, and is affixed to the housing with screws. The vertical
antenna resides behind the vertical glass, and is also affixed to the scanner with screws. (See
Install the
Sensormatic Coil Antenna on page 3-20).
Sensormatic EAS should always be enabled. There is no synchronization with a barcode read in this mode.
Sensormatic EAS Hard Tags
Figure 5-17 Sensormatic EAS Hard Tags
The detection of hard tags alerts the user with audible Geiger counter beeps. Environments with a mix of hard and
soft tags sound a unique user alert (soft/hard tag beep).
Sensormatic EAS Soft Tags (Labels)
Figure 5-18 Sensormatic EAS Soft Tags (Labels)
Deactivation of soft tags alerts the user with audible Geiger counter beeps. Deactivation of soft tags synchronized
with a barcode scan alerts the user with audible Geiger counter beeps. Soft tags can be disabled, and they can
also be reset using a Sensormatic tag re-setter.
