5) The location of the Stock Room. Two receivers (ARA) and one transmitter (ATA) will be
placed on the girders in the stock room. You are limited by 110’ cables for the TX and
135’ for RXes to reach the stock room. Will the cables reach from the MEU to the stock
room? (It is possible we may not be able to install transmitters and receivers in some stock
rooms.) Since stockrooms must be cabled, the MEU may have to be located closer to the
stockroom than to electrical power in the Pharmacy area. This is an example where
electrical work is authorized.
6) The location of the furthest receivers (ARA) from the proposed MEU location. (A 135’
cable can be made using a B&C plus 110’ plus 25’ cables.) Please be sure to insulate the
connector with electrical tape.
Equipment Survey:
After the MEU location has been determined, then walk through the store, with the floor plan
to determine the exact positions of the transmitters (ATA) and the receivers (ARA). It is best
to include one of the cable team members while you do this so they can see the process and
know where the marks on the floor are placed. During this time the other cable team member
can be numbering the cables.
1) If a detailed pre-install survey was done the proposed locations for the transmitters and
receivers are marked by either colored dots or pushpins on the ceiling tiles. Verify that
these are the best locations for the transmitters (ATA) and receivers (ARA).
a) (A blue dot or pushpin indicates an ATA, a green dot or black push pin indicates the
location for ARA, and either 2 green dots or 2 black push pins indicate the MEU
Location.
2) If the location of the transmitters (ATA) and receivers (ARA) were not documented when
the pre-install survey was done, then you will have to mark the location for the Cable
Installation Vender. Use a Wet erase marker and mark the location on the floor. (Test
your marker to verify that it can be erased on an area of the floor that can’t be seen).
After the equipment is installed the marks have to be erased from the floor. You can
alternately use adhesive dots.
