1.  MODULE  N-9390 
 The Module is part of the Athena system on a shopping cart. It involves one or two 
wheels paired wirelessly with a Module, N-9390 and a Door Marker.  The wheel(s) 
and module communicate wirelessly with each other.   
The wheels provide: 
 Wheel rotation count 
 Locking mechanism to prevent cart from moving 
 Detect entrance/exit doorways (Door marker) 
The module provides: 
 Navigation algorithm to calculate cart location 
 LED and audio warning prior to locking the wheels. 
2.  MODULE DETAILS: 
Audio Warning 
LEDs Warning 

3.  FUNCTIONAL PROCEDURES 
 1. “Door Maker” sends the message to the wheel   
2. Wheel sends ‘door marker’ event to the module 
3. On receiving ‘door marker’ event, module checks its calculated direction to determine if 
cart is moving outdoor or indoor. 
4.  If  cart  is moving  outdoor,  the module  starts  the navigation  algorithm processing.    It 
calculates  the  real-time  position  of  the  cart  from  the  rotations  it  receives  from  the 
wheel(s) and the direction information it calculates.   
5.  If position of cart calculated is mapped to be outside the perimeter map it has in its 
memory, then the module will send lock command to the wheel after providing warning 
using its led and audio. 
4.  INSATALLATION 
1.  Mount the Module in the Shopping Cart Handle. 
2.  When mounting a module to a shopping cart handle, it is typically mounted facing up at 
roughly 10deg angle with the horizontal ground plane.
