EM deactivators and reactivators are essential devices for electromagnetic (EM) book security systems, mainly used in libraries, bookstores, and other book-related environments. They are designed to change the security status of EM magnetic strips attached to books. At the checkout or circulation desk, the device can deactivate the strip when a book is borrowed or purchased. When the book is returned, the strip can be reactivated to restore its security function. Used together with EM security gates and magnetic strips, they provide a complete solution for managing book security throughout the circulation process.
Why Choose EM Deactivators & Reactivadores?
-
Support Book Circulation
EM deactivators and reactivators allow libraries to manage security strips according to their normal borrowing and return procedures.
-
Two-Way Security Management
The device can support both deactivation and reactivation, allowing the security status of a book to be changed when it leaves or returns to the library.
-

Frequently Asked Questions
01What is an EM Security Gate?
An EM Security Gate is an electromagnetic anti-theft gate designed to detect active magnetic security strips attached to books and other protected materials.
02How does an EM Security Gate work?
An EM security gate creates a detection field at the entrance or exit. When a book carrying an active magnetic security strip passes through the detection zone, the system detects the strip and triggers an audible and visual alarm.
03Why are EM systems commonly used in libraries?
EM systems are well suited to libraries because magnetic security strips can be integrated into books and can be deactivated when a book is borrowed and reactivated when it is returned.
04How does the library borrowing process work with an EM system?
A typical process is:
Book with Active Strip → Borrow Book → Deactivate Strip → Customer Leaves → Return Book → Reactivate Strip → Put Back on Shelf
This allows the library to maintain security while supporting normal circulation operations.
05Can EM security strips be reused?
The security strip itself remains associated with the book and can be managed through the deactivation and reactivation process, depending on the specific EM strip and system configuration.
06Where are EM Security Gates installed?
They are typically installed at library or bookstore entrances and exits to create a controlled detection zone.
07Are EM Security Gates suitable for all retail stores?
EM systems are mainly designed for libraries, bookstores, and book-related environments. For general retail merchandise, RF or AM EAS systems may be more appropriate depending on the products and store environment.
08What products are included in a complete EM security solution?
A typical EM solution may include EM Security Gates, EM magnetic security strips, deactivators & reactivators, depending on the requirements of the library or bookstore.
