Security Tags, Detachers & RF Paper Labels

How a Supermarket Anti-Theft System Works

Each item is protected with an RF paper label or a reusable hard tag. At checkout, the cashier deactivates labels on the RF deactivator, which can interlock with the POS system scanner, and removes hard tags with a detacher. If an active label or tag passes the MODUS RF30 antennas at the exit, the alarm lights and buzzer alert staff. Pair EAS with CCTV cameras for full retail loss prevention, and see our other business hardware supplies. Product details are on the official Cross Point website.

Supermarket Anti-Theft System FAQs

What is an EAS anti-theft system?

Electronic article surveillance (EAS) is a retail security system that uses tags or labels on goods and antennas at the exit. If an item that has not been paid for and deactivated passes the antennas, an alarm sounds.

What is the difference between RF and AM anti-theft systems?

RF systems work at 8.2 MHz and are widely used in supermarkets with economical paper labels. AM systems work at 58 kHz and are often chosen for goods with foil or metal packaging. Cross Point OSTRA tags are available in both RF (8.2 MHz) and AM (58 kHz) versions.

Do your RF labels work with Checkpoint systems?

Yes. Our RF 4×4 paper labels work at 8.2 MHz and are compatible with Checkpoint EAS systems.

Will the antennas cause false alarms?

The Cross Point MODUS RF30 uses Smart Sensitivity Control (auto-tune) to give excellent detection of hard tags and paper labels with less false alarming in challenging store environments, plus jammer detection.

Can the deactivator connect to my POS scanner?

Yes. The connected version of the RF deactivator supports interlock with POS scanners and can use separate antenna and scanner loops.

How much does a supermarket anti-theft system cost in Kenya?

The price depends on the number of exit lanes, antennas, deactivators, tags and labels you need. A line conditioner, if required, is quoted separately. Call 0737 707 501 or request a quote.
