Compact RF or AM Security Tag for Eyeglasses and Sunglasses Displays

RA-055 Eyeglasses EAS Security Hard Tag The RA-055 Eyeglasses EAS Security Hard Tag is a compact reusable security tag designed for compatible eyeglasses and sunglasses displayed in optical shops, fashion stores, department stores, and other retail environments.

The tag attaches to a suitable part of the eyewear frame and is intended to activate a compatible Electronic Article Surveillance system if the protected item passes through the store exit without authorised tag removal.

The RA-055 is offered in separate 8.2 MHz RF and 58 kHz AM versions. The correct frequency must be selected to match the store’s installed EAS antenna system because RF and AM tags are not interchangeable. The supplier identifies the product as model RA-055 with approximate dimensions of 25 × 25 mm and screwdriver-based removal.

Professional Highlights

• Designed for compatible eyeglasses and sunglasses
• Compact 25 × 25 mm format
• Available in 8.2 MHz RF or 58 kHz AM versions
• Reusable hard-tag construction
• Screwdriver-operated release mechanism
• Light-grey standard colour
• Intended for compatible retail EAS systems
• Suitable for open-display eyewear environments

Product Overview

Eyewear is often displayed openly so customers can examine and try on different frames. This creates a need for a security tag that helps protect the merchandise without requiring it to remain inside a locked cabinet.

The RA-055 is designed specifically for this type of retail workflow. Its compact format allows it to remain attached to compatible eyewear while the item is displayed.

Similar eyewear EAS tags are commonly offered in RF or AM versions so retailers can select the technology that corresponds with their existing loss-prevention system.

Key Features

Eyewear-Specific Design

The compact hard tag is intended for use with compatible eyeglasses and sunglasses rather than general garment tagging.

RF or AM Frequency Options

The RA-055 is available as either:

• 8.2 MHz RF
• 58 kHz AM

These are separate versions. The selected tag must match the installed EAS system.

Reusable Construction

The tag can be removed by authorised staff and reused on another compatible eyewear item, subject to its physical condition and correct handling.

Screwdriver Release

The supplier specifies a screwdriver-operated unlocking method. The appropriate removal tool and procedure should be confirmed before deployment.

Compact Format

Its approximate 25 × 25 mm size is intended to reduce obstruction around the eyewear display while maintaining EAS functionality.

What Is an Eyeglasses EAS Tag?

An eyewear EAS tag is a reusable security device attached to compatible eyeglasses or sunglasses displayed for sale.

When the correct tag passes through an active and compatible EAS antenna system without removal, the system may generate an alarm.

The tag itself is only one part of the loss-prevention setup. A working solution normally also requires:

• Compatible RF or AM exit antennas
• Correct system tuning
• Staff removal procedures
• Suitable tag placement
• Routine system testing
• Store operating procedures

RF 8.2 MHz or AM 58 kHz?

Choosing the correct frequency is essential.

8.2 MHz RF

Select the RF version when the store uses a compatible 8.2 MHz radio-frequency EAS system.

58 kHz AM

Select the AM version when the store uses a compatible 58 kHz acousto-magnetic EAS system.

The two versions should not be mixed or treated as interchangeable. Retailers should confirm their installed system type before ordering.

Typical Applications

The RA-055 may be considered for:

• Optical stores
• Sunglasses retailers
• Fashion-accessory stores
• Department stores
• Duty-free retail
• Shopping-mall outlets
• Eyewear display counters
• Retail chains with EAS exit protection

Purpose of Use

The purpose of the RA-055 is to help retailers protect openly displayed eyewear while allowing customers to view and try on compatible frames.

It is intended as a retail loss-prevention aid and should be used as part of a broader store-security process rather than as a complete security solution by itself.

Compatibility

Compatibility depends primarily on:

• EAS frequency
• Eyewear frame shape
• Tag attachment position
• Exit-antenna model
• Antenna spacing
• System tuning
• Store environment
• Tag orientation
• Removal procedure

A sample test is recommended before purchasing a larger quantity.

Things to Verify Before Ordering

Please confirm:

• Whether your system is 8.2 MHz RF or 58 kHz AM
• Eyewear frame suitability
• Required colour
• Required quantity
• Screwdriver or removal-tool requirements
• Exit-antenna compatibility
• Expected installation arrangement
• Sample-testing requirements
• Package quantity
• Replacement and return conditions

Who Should Consider This Product?

The RA-055 may be suitable for eyewear retailers that:

• Display frames openly
• Already use a compatible EAS system
• Need a compact reusable security tag
• Prefer controlled manual removal
• Want customers to try on eyewear while items remain tagged

It may not be suitable where the store has no compatible EAS antennas or where the eyewear frame cannot safely accommodate the tag.

Building a Complete Optical Retail Security System

A typical eyewear security workflow may include:

Eyewear Display → RA-055 Security Tag → Compatible RF or AM Exit Antennas → Staff Removal Procedure → Routine System Testing

Other components may include:

• EAS control unit
• Compatible power supply
• Removal tools
• Staff training
• CCTV
• Display fixtures
• Store loss-prevention procedures

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the RA-055 used for?

A: The RA-055 is designed to help protect compatible eyeglasses and sunglasses displayed in retail stores using an installed EAS system.

Q: Is the tag available in RF and AM versions?

A: Yes. Supplier information identifies separate 8.2 MHz RF and 58 kHz AM versions. The correct version must match the store’s installed EAS system.

Q: Can one tag work with both RF and AM systems?

A: No. The frequencies represent different EAS technologies. Select the version that corresponds with your antenna system.

Q: What is the approximate tag size?

A: The supplier specifies an approximate size of 25 × 25 mm.

Q: How is the tag removed?

A: The supplier describes a screwdriver-based unlocking method. The exact removal procedure and required tool should be confirmed before use.

Q: Is the tag reusable?

A: It is intended as a reusable hard tag when removed correctly and kept in serviceable condition.

Q: Will the tag fit every eyewear frame?

A: Not necessarily. Frame thickness, shape, material, and tag position should be checked. Testing on representative eyewear is recommended.

Q: What detection distance does it provide?

A: No fixed detection distance should be guaranteed for the tag alone. Actual detection depends on the EAS antennas, antenna spacing, tuning, tag orientation, interference, and store environment. FARCTRL also states that the detection range of its RF systems depends on the tag used.

Q: Does the tag include an EAS antenna system?

A: No. This page describes the security tag. EAS exit antennas, controllers, installation, and related accessories are separate unless specifically included in a quotation.

Q: Is a removal tool included?

A: A tool should not be assumed included unless it is explicitly stated in the quotation.
