System Description and Components
GS2 System
The GS
2
System is a perimeter-based, electronic
system that prevents the removal of carts from the
store premises. The GS
2
System combines a
digitally-encoded locking signal, embedded
perimeter antenna, and our patented self-braking
cart wheel to provide the most advanced, effective,
and easy-to-operate cart containment solution
available. The CentralTransmitter transmits a
digitally encoded signal via an antenna that is
embedded in the parking lot. The path of the
antenna establishes a perimeter boundary, which
carts may not pass. When a cart equipped with the
GS
2
Wheel comes within approximately one meter
of the perimeter boundary, the locking mechanism
engages, thus disabling the cart from use until store
personnel unlock the wheel using our remote
control CartKey. An effective Site Management
Package, consisting of Parking Lot Signs, Cart
Mounted Signs, and Perimeter Striping, indicate the
presence of the GS
2
System for the convenience of
store customers.
