A Checkpoint Security System From the Technician’s Point Of View

Ok, let’s say that you have made the wise decision to purchase a Checkpoint Security System for your store. I would like to explain to you some of the functionality of your system. The Checkpoint systems create a RF (radio frequency) field around your front door to detect the security tags that you have placed on the merchandise. The tags are tuned to 8.2 MHz, which although it is a unique frequency, does not mean that there are not other items near your storefront that could also give off 8.2 MHz.

When your system was (or soon will be) installed the technician will take time to look for and correct any “interference” that might be present at the time.

As time goes on, some Checkpoint systems could experience false alarms. There are many reasons that this could occur but it is unlikely that it is something wrong with the system itself. If your system is alarming, it is detecting 8.2 MHz. The most common causes for false alarms are due to changes in the environment, whether tagged merchandise is placed too close to the antenna or a door that is settling. This is why it is important to have a preventative maintenance plan for your system. As the merchandise and storefront front changes, so will your Checkpoint systems.

It is very important to keep your Checkpoint security system functioning properly because if a problem occurs where false alarms start happening employees will all too often start to ignore any alarms. Checkpoint systems are most effective when they are incorporated with knowledgeable employees and a quick response.
