Mounting Instructions and EAS Installation Guide
Section II - Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS)
The Symbol LS7808-SR20007TCR and LS7808-SR2X009SCR include
an EAS antenna. The scanner and EAS system can operate
independently of each other, or using an exclusive interlock feature. The
deactivation range is mapped suitable to the scanning range, so both
can be accomplished almost simultaneously. The interlock feature
requires a good decode signal to activate the EAS system.
Do not attempt to activate the interlock feature. Activation
CAUTION
instructions are for a Symbol qualified technician only.
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.
Checkpoint® EAS Model Compatibility
The EAS cable is intended for use with Checkpoint CP-VII and CP-IX
systems. It does not support CP-IV and other low-power receiver-based
EAS deactivation systems.
Considerations
The Checkpoint EAS system operates by generating a periodic burst of
energy which deactivates EAS tags brought into proximity of the
scanner. Unless proper precautions are taken, this field may interfere
with the scanner's operation.The following criteria must be observed
when installing EAS:
• The antenna box must be as far as possible (minimum 6 in. or
15.24 cm) from the scanner.
• The scanner (with integrated EAS antenna), EAS antenna box, EAS
control cable and EAS controller box must be as far as possible from
the scanner's host and power cables. For a typical EAS installation,
see
Typical Layouts on page
• The counter in which the EAS antenna is installed must be made of
non-metallic materials. Metallic counters or metal objects in proximity
to the scanner interfere with EAS Deactivation.
