Abstract: An auto-calibrated proximity sensor used with a protected item in a retail display security system includes a metalized surface that cooperatively interacts with a printed circuit board to form a capacitive cell. A microcontroller senses changes in the frequency of the capacitive circuit if the orientation of the metalized surface changes with respect to the printed circuit board.
