Overview

Wider exits, same affordable platform.

The Essentials 3.6m Acrylic is what you reach for when a 1.8 m Essentials doesn't cover the entrance but a full Ultra-Post or Ultra-Exit install is out of scope. Transparent acrylic construction keeps the pedestal visually unobtrusive at the storefront; on-board electronics live in the base cover of the primary, so there's no external controller to wire up.

Audible alarm plus blue (standard) or red (optional) full-column illumination makes alarm events obvious to staff. The configurable "Tags-Too-Close" feature suppresses nuisance alarms from merchandise left too near the entrance — reducing service calls and cleaning up the customer experience.
