eSSL Acousto-Magnetic System | 58KHz EAS Security Solution for Retail Stores
Protect your merchandise from shoplifting with eSSL's advanced Acousto-Magnetic (AM) Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) system. Designed for retail environments like department stores, supermarkets, electronics shops, and apparel stores, our AM system delivers high-sensitivity detection with an exceptionally low false alarm rate.
Key Benefits of eSSL Acousto-Magnetic Technology
π‘οΈ
Superior Detection Range
Wide detection range (1.2 - 2.4 meters) ensures effective coverage of standard retail entry/exit points, providing reliable protection for a variety of store layouts.
π‘
Low False Alarm Rate
AM technology offers strong resistance to environmental interference due to its unique resonance technology, minimizing nuisance alarms and ensuring a smooth shopping experience.
β‘
Versatile Application
Suitable for a wide range of merchandise including clothing, electronics, cosmetics, jewelry, and more. Can be used with both hard tags and deactivatable soft labels.
How eSSL's Acousto-Magnetic System Works
π
1. Transmitter
The transmitter pedestal emits a high-frequency 58KHz pulse signal that creates a pulsed magnetic field in the detection zone.
π·οΈ
2. Security Tag
When a deactivated tag enters the field, it resonates like a tuning fork, emitting a distinct acoustic-magnetic signal back to the receiver.
π¨
3. Receiver & Alarm
The receiver detects the tag's unique signal during the interval between transmitter pulses. A microcomputer verifies the signal's frequency, timing, and repetition rate before triggering the alarm.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the detection range of an Acousto-Magnetic system?
Acousto-Magnetic EAS systems offer a wide detection range, typically between 1.2 to 2.4 meters, making them effective for protecting standard retail store entry/exit points.
How does Acousto-Magnetic technology compare to other EAS systems?
AM systems offer superior performance: they have a wider detection range (1.2-2.4m) compared to EM systems (0.7-0.9m); use 58KHz pulses for high tag detection energy; have near-zero false alarm rates; and are ideal for high-security, high-value merchandise like electronics and cosmetics.
What is the operating frequency of the eSSL Acousto-Magnetic system?
The eSSL Acousto-Magnetic EAS system operates at a frequency of 58 KHz, which is the standard for AM technology and ensures accurate and reliable detection.
What are the main components of an eSSL AM EAS system?
The system consists of a transmitter pedestal that emits the 58KHz pulse signal, a receiver pedestal that detects resonating tags, and deactivatable security tags/labels attached to merchandise.
