Product Overview

The Cross Point SOLUS RFM40 is a professional radio frequency electronic article surveillance (EAS) antenna developed for retail businesses seeking a robust anti-theft detection system at store entrances and exits.

Part of Cross Point's SOLUS range, the RFM40 uses RF mono technology, combining transmitting and receiving functions within the antenna system. This makes it suitable for properly designed retail loss-prevention installations using compatible RF security labels and hard tags.

The SOLUS RFM40 is particularly intended for supermarkets, hypermarkets, DIY stores and other retail environments where entrance traffic, shopping trolleys and demanding daily operating conditions make mechanical strength important.

The system features a reinforced aluminum pedestal, alarm indication, jammer detection, optional advertising panels and remote service capabilities when configured with the appropriate Cross Point connectivity equipment.

Detection performance depends on the installed antenna arrangement, security tag or label, product packaging, surrounding environment and system configuration.

The Cross Point SOLUS RFM40 is an electronic article surveillance component. It does not independently provide CCTV recording, physical access control, RFID inventory tracking or guaranteed theft prevention.

Product Description

RF Mono Electronic Article Surveillance Technology

The Cross Point SOLUS RFM40 uses radio frequency mono EAS technology.

In a properly configured system, the antenna monitors its detection field for compatible active RF security tags or labels.

When a detectable active tag enters the monitored area, the system can generate an alarm indication.

This supports store personnel in identifying merchandise that may be leaving the protected area without the intended tag removal or label deactivation.

RF mono EAS technology is different from acousto-magnetic EAS, RFID inventory identification and barcode scanning.

The SOLUS RFM40 should be used only with compatible security tags, labels and associated equipment.

Reinforced Pedestal for Demanding Retail Environments

Cross Point developed the SOLUS RFM40 for stores where entrance equipment must withstand frequent daily activity.

Its reinforced aluminum frame is particularly relevant to supermarkets, hypermarkets and DIY stores.

The relatively narrow pedestal profile helps integrate the system into suitable retail entrance designs.

Actual resistance to impact or damage depends on the installation, mounting surface and operating conditions.

RF Security Tag Detection

The SOLUS RFM40 supports detection of compatible RF hard tags and paper labels.

Cross Point publishes reference detection distances for selected OSTRA tags and a 4 × 4 cm paper label.

These figures are measured under defined test conditions and are not guaranteed aisle widths.

Tag orientation, product material, interference, antenna positioning and the surrounding retail environment can affect performance.

Visual and Audible Alarm Management

The SOLUS RFM40 platform supports selectable notifications for different alarm conditions.

The manufacturer identifies red and green alarm lighting.

Visual indications can help staff recognize relevant security events at the store entrance.

Alarm behavior depends on the selected configuration and connected equipment.

Jammer Detection

The system includes a jammer-detection feature intended to identify certain electronic interference conditions associated with attempts to disrupt EAS operation.

This feature can support a broader retail loss-prevention strategy.

It does not guarantee detection of every interference device or attempted theft.

Remote Service and Management

Cross Point supports remote service and management functionality for its SOLUS RFM40 platform.

According to the manufacturer, remote monitoring and service capabilities are available in combination with a compatible CrossCONNECT Access Point.

These capabilities may allow authorized service personnel to review system information and assist with troubleshooting or configuration.

Remote management should not be assumed available without the required network equipment, configuration and service arrangements.

Advertising and Branding Options

The SOLUS RFM40 supports optional advertising panels.

This can allow retailers to integrate appropriate branding or promotional content into the entrance-security equipment.

Advertising panel availability and dimensions should be confirmed for the exact supplied configuration.

Optional Shielding for Store Layouts

Cross Point describes shielding as an option for situations where detection on one side of the antenna needs to be reduced.

This may be useful where merchandise shelves or narrow aisles are located close to the entrance.

Shielding can also reduce the effective detection distance and must be considered during system planning.
