Mounting Instructions and EAS Installation Guide 9

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.

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 4.

• 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.

CAUTION Do not attempt to activate the interlock feature. Activation

instructions are for a Symbol qualified technician only.
