Introduction to Store Install Processes Guide G-1-2001-2 Introduction to Store Install Process Guide-2.doc Main Electrical Unit (MEU): The MEU is the brain or the local hub of the local GOLIATH system. It collects all system data within the retail outlet. The MEU is normally mounted on a post near the center of the store. Depending upon the size of the store and the Retailer’s requirements one or more MEU’s may be required. An MEU will support up to 4 Transmitters and 16 Receivers.

Introduction to Store Install Processes Guide G-1-2001-2 Introduction to Store Install Process Guide-2.doc Transmitters (Tx/ATA): These antennae amplify and “broadcast” the radio waves MEU I that will ultimately be reflected back to the receive antennae from the RFID tags. The number of transmitters will vary depending on the size of the store.

Introduction to Store Install Processes Guide G-1-2001-2 Introduction to Store Install Process Guide-2.doc CMU/MEU Power Supply: The power supply will be plugged into an uninterrupted power source and provide power for the CMU or MEU. CMU/MEU Power Cables: Three different power cables can be used with the CMU and MEU. The are: 1) A 110 foot low voltage power cable. This cable is used to extend the distance from the MEU or the CMU to the power source.
