How to Install an EAS AM Detection System?

Installing an EAS AM detection system typically involves following these steps. Note that specific installation steps may vary depending on the equipment and brand; it is recommended to refer to the installation manual accompanying the equipment.

1. Preparation

Component Check: Ensure all installation components are intact, including sensors, antennas, controllers, and connecting cables.

Location Selection: Determine the installation location. Typically, the antenna should be placed on either side of an entrance/exit to ensure unobstructed pedestrian traffic.

2. Antenna Installation

Antenna Fixing: Place the antenna in the designated location, ensuring it is vertical and stable. Secure it to the ground or wall using screws and expansion bolts.

Height Adjustment: Ensure the antenna height is appropriate, avoiding obstruction of the line of sight while maintaining signal coverage.

3. Power Connection

Power Cord: Connect the antenna to a power source using a suitable power cord. For safety, ensure the power switch is off when connecting.

Grounding: Ensure the antenna is properly grounded to prevent electrostatic interference or electrical faults.

4. Controller Installation

Controller Location Selection: Typically installed at the rear or inconspicuous location for easy maintenance and operation.

5. Connect Antenna

Connect the antenna to the controller using a data cable, ensuring the plug is securely inserted.

6. System Setup

Power-on Test: Turn on the power and check the indicator lights on the controller and antenna to ensure they are functioning correctly.

System Configuration: Perform initial system configuration according to the user manual, including setting parameters, adjusting volume, etc.

7. System Testing

Magnetic Strip Test: Place several items with EAS tags in the store to confirm whether the system can detect their entry and exit.

Sensitivity Adjustment: Based on the test results, adjust the system sensitivity appropriately to ensure smooth customer entry and exit while effectively preventing theft.

8. Staff Training

Staff Training: Train staff on system usage and operation to ensure they understand how to handle alarms and use the equipment.

9. Regular Maintenance

System Check: Regularly check the system's operational status, including cleaning the equipment and updating software, to ensure the system always operates efficiently.

During installation, local safety regulations and installation standards must be followed to ensure the installation and use of the equipment comply with relevant laws and regulations. If you lack experience or are unsure, consider seeking professional assistance.
