Tag Deactivators, Reactivators and Combo Units

Block Tag Deactivator

A magnetic Block Deactivator is a portable non electronic tag deactivator that sits on the counter. The Block Deactivator is an ideal back-up unit in the case of power outages when books need to be checked out manually. Some libraries choose to mount this unit under the counter and install a target plate on the counter to identify the location of the deactivation field.

Portable Wand Tag Reactivator

The Sentry Portable Reactivator is compact and easy to use. The unit is very light weight (360 gr/0.08 lbs) and is completely cordless. After use, the reactivator is recharged by inserting into the companion battery charger.

Books can be reactivated individually, in groups, or when back on the shelf. Many libraries choose to reactivate books by placing them in a library book cart and running the unit in an up and down motion along the spine of the books. Typically this will take 1-2 minutes per book cart, saving valuable staff time.

Electronic Tag Combo Deactivator/Reactivator

ADR &(Advanced Deactivator/Reactivator) is available as a stand alone unit for processing books and prerecorded materials. The system is also configured with a scanner to perform a one step de/reaction process while processing barcodes.

ScanEze Scanner Combo Deactivator/Reactivator

The ScanEze is a combined barcode scanner and security tag deactivator/reactivator workstation. This unit sits on the counter so there is no need to cut the counter. It has an ergonomic design and light indicators confirm that the security strip is detected and the operation (deactivation or reactivation) has been successfully completed. The unit can be used to process all items in the library, including print, magnetic media (videos, audio books, talking books, children's kits), CDs, and DVDs.

Sentry Scan-De

The Scan-De is a combination barcode scanner and security strip deactivator for books, CDs, and DVDs that is mounted into the counter and uses an omni directional grocery style scanner for processing barcodes in multiple orientations. Scan-De is recommended for libraries with barcodes on the outside of books.
