Abstract
An anti-theft product display system utilizes a command module and a plurality of sensor satellites arranged in a daisy chain configuration. The command module and sensor satellites operate with microprocessors and can be programmed to perform several operating functions. Each sensor satellite can receive up to eight sensors without requiring shunts or terminators for the unused sensor jacks. A data retention system is incorporated into each sensor satellite to prevent the loss of data in the event of power failure to the command module. The sensor is wired so that an alarm will sound if someone attempts to steal product by either disconnecting the sensor, cutting the sensor wire or shorting the system.
