System Overview
The Power of 4™ is an advanced EAS System with early detection tools. It provides four
levels of security, which include:
• EAS Technology: The System has advanced Acousto-Magnetic Technology detection
designed to detect 58 KHz hard tags and labels. Audible and visual alarms are provided
for the detection.
• Booster Bag/Foil Lined Bag Detection: The System includes an early detection
system that triggers an alarm when a Booster Bag/Foil Lined Bag is detected. Once the
Booster Bag/Foil Lined Bag is detected within the detection range, the system alerts
store personnel via one or several optional notification devices.
• Magnet Detection: The third level of security allows the Power of 4™ to detect when
Magnetic Detachers are illegally brought into the store.
• Anti-Jamming Circuit: The Power of 4™ has an intelligent anti-jamming feature which
detects EAS jamming devices affecting the Power of 4™ System.
Materials Required
For all Power of 4™ installations, the following materials should be prepared prior to an
install, in addition to basic required tools and parts:
• Cables – 45 ft maximum length (to connect pedestals with control box )
• USB Dongle (to establish connection between control box and computer)
• Ethernet Cable and Connector Unit (to establish Internet connection, if applicable)
• Computer or Laptop (should be loaded with ‘AM Application’ Software)
• CAT5 Cables (to extend alarm outputs for Voice Annunciation purpose)
• 2 Low Power Transformers, 15 VAC (for Booster and Magnet Detection Systems)
• Booster Bag/Foil Lined Bag, Magnetic Detacher, AM Tags, and Jammer Device (to be
used for testing purpose)
• Digital Multimeter
Installation Requirements
It is strongly recommended that a Site Survey is performed prior to the actual
installation. The Survey should include pictures, actual measurements and special notes about
the location. The survey enables the installer/technician to select a good location for system
installation. In addition to a Site Survey, the installer/technician should also consider the
following requirements:
• Verify that all equipments, tools and parts have arrived in good condition, and be able to
select a proper system configuration for the installation site.
