ENERGIZING CIRCUIT FOR EAS MARKER DEACTIVATION DEVICE

摘要

A device (10) for deactivating a magnetomechanical EAS marker includes two coils (24, 28, 26, 30) and an energizing circuit (32) for alternately driving the coils. One coil (24, 28) is driven for one cycle of an alternating power signal, and then the other coil (26, 30) is driven for one cycle, and this sequence is repeated. The driving signal (31) is switched from one coil to the other at a point in time which corresponds to a zero crossing of the current level of the driving signal.
