Electronic Article Surveillance (Eas) - Symbol LS 5700 Product Reference Manual

LS 5700/LS 5800 Product Reference Guide

Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS)

When installing an EAS system, be sure to follow the
criteria outlined in the LS 5800 Mounting Instructions and
EAS Installation Guide.
For those scanners equipped with an EAS antenna,
Parameter Menus in Chapter 5 allow you to activate the EAS
system independent of the scanner, or combine the two in
an exclusive interlock feature.
The interlock feature discourages "sweetheart shopping."
These are instances where some customers are favored, and
not all items are scanned. The interlock prohibits the
deactivation of the EAS tag without the item being scanned
first.
Do not attempt to activate the interlock feature yourself.
The following instructions are for a Symbol qualified
technician only.
1. Peel off the EAS sticker on the scanner.
2. Open the scanner and run the EAS Interlock cable
through the hole where the EAS sticker was.
3. Attach this cable to the PCB connector.
4. Attach the other end of the cable to the EAS system.
Be sure to scan the proper bar code to activate this feature.
The deactivation range is mapped suitable to the scanning
range, so both can be accomplished almost simultaneously.
