Datalogic Scanning 9500, 9504 manual Deactivating Security Labels, EAS Deactivation Modes

Deactivating Security Labels

Sensormatic® Ultra-Max®, Ultra-Strip®II and III EAS (Electronic Arti- cle Surveillance) tags can be detected and deactivated by the system. This is accomplished by means of a ScanMax deactivation antenna mounted under the scanner platter (single-antenna models) or both behind the ver- tical window and under the scanner platter (dual-antenna models). EAS tags should be brought within five inches of the antenna(s) to be deacti- vated.

	Single-Antenna models ONLY: EAS tag deactivation is dependent upon cor-
	rect installation of the EAS antenna, “downstream” with regard to the direc-
	tion of scanning: Left-to-right (see Figure 2-18, or right-to-left (see
	Figure 2-19). If deactivation is not occurring while items are presented dur-
NOTE	ing a normal scan, consult your system specialist or See “Swapping Position:
	EAS Single-Antenna ONLY” on page 34. for assistance in optimizing the
	installation.

EAS Deactivation Modes

Three modes of initiating deactivation are selectable via scanner program- ming (reference Chapter 6, "EAS Mode" in this manual):

•Coupled Mode — Deactivation occurs only after item bar codes are read by the scanner.

•Decoupled Mode — Deactivation is independent of the scanning function

•Hybrid Mode — EAS system is armed whenever the scanner is enabled and the deactivation beep is sounded when an EAS tag is deactivated..

The EAS system must be functional to implement any of the EAS Modes. If

the EAS system is not active, error code 9 will be displayed in the 7-segment LED display (see Figure 4-1).
