Integrated deactivation is an integral element of EAS platforms in high throughput markets such as grocery and hypermarkets. In high volume stores the checkout process must remain fluid and efficient in order to alleviate unnecessary customer delays. Sensormatic has developed the AMB-5185 to be integrated into the existing scanner base of the Datalogic Magellan 8500 scanner. This high performance integrated scanner / deactivator enables seamless one-step scanning and deactivation in the most demanding retail environments. The AMB-5185 incorporates superior Ultra•Max^® technology into the Datalogic 8500 Scanner.

The AMB-5185 is an ideal tool for retailers to enhance productivity at the Point-of-Sale (POS). The integration of the single loop deactivation antenna around the outside of the scanner as well as inside scanner housing allows for seamless one step scanning and deactivation. Deactivation reliability and performance have been enhanced with this new antenna array that efficiently deactivates Ultra•Max^® protected merchandise while maintaining the integrity of the checkout process.
