Overview
Box-tag IR smart with slide lever and S3 key alternative.
Most box tags require either pinching or a power detacher; the Bandit takes a different route — a slide lever activates the lock when engaged and releases when deactivated, all one-handed. The bottom plunger has an anti-slip backing for maximum surface grip. Cashiers can release the tag two ways: place the WG S3 Key on the tag (the ears of the key align with the indents and the lever auto-unlocks), or align the tag's IR window with a WG IR detacher's transmitter window (the tag beeps on successful deactivation). The IR pulse is also the alarm-silencing signal — if a Bandit is already alarming from a tamper attempt, the detacher silences it before releasing. Pair with the WG Smart Bubble for remote audible/visual alerts elsewhere in the store.
