RF Deactivation

Integrated scan/deactivation capabilitiesStreamlined throughput Reduced false alarms Deactivation range up to 15 inches RF deactivation integrated into most popular scanner models

Deactivation of security labels – an important part of any successfulEAS program – achieves its full potential with radio frequencytechnology. No other EAS deactivation technology comes close in afeature-for-feature comparison. For retailers focused on customer service, Checkpoint’s patented RF-EAS deactivation technology streamlines throughput so that checkout proceeds rapidly and deactivation takes place discreetly.With deactivation heights unmatched in the industry, RF deactivationensures that RF labels – no matter what the orientation or if embedded in source-tagged merchandise – are deactivated. For retailers, this means the virtual elimination of the number one cause of false alarms:failures to deactivate, common with other EAS technologies. For aretailer’s customers, this means no embarrassing moments as they leave the store with legitimately purchased merchandise.Checkpoint continues to enhance and refine RF deactivationtechnology. The only EAS technology to offer truly integrated scan/ deactivation, RF deactivation blends into existing operations without the need to invest in costly checkstand renovations or the burden of on-going training. Scanners are available today, direct from themanufacturer, with built-in RF deactivation capability. Checkpoint has also expanded the role of RF-EAS deactivation toaddress other areas of shrinkage. Interlock, which allows deactivationafter a valid scan, addresses cashier sliding; post-scanner verification,which locates non-deactivated labels after the scanning verification process, can alert the cashier that a label is not deactivated. Post- scanner verification can also be used to alert the store manager that an internal theft attempt might be occurring, or activate a CCTV system to record the event.Whether using RF deactivation’s standard capabilities or customfeatures such as interlock or post-scan verification, retailers and their customers benefit from RF deactivation’s reliable and discreetperformance.

Deactivation heights up to 15 inches above the scanner ensure deactivation no matter the orientation or location of the RF label.Streamlining point-of-saletransactions, RF deactivation blends seamlessly with standard POS procedures to deliver reliable deactivation of every RF label passing through the RF field.
