3.1 Transport and Storage
Tasks
Most of the steps in setting up a platform are straightforward. The design and construction of
the payload structure needs to be tailored to your application.
Install the docking station. See Installing the Docking Station on page 38.
l
Fully charge the battery, either outside of or inside the platform.
l
Install the battery in the platform. See Installing the Battery on page 33.
l
Set up the wireless Ethernet for the platform. See Settings and Configuration on page 45.
l
Design, build, and install a payload structure, to suit your application. See Payload
l
Structures on page 51.
This is the most involved task in getting your AIV working the way you want.
Configure the AIV for your environment, so it can perform useful tasks.
l
This includes generating the map that the AIV will use for its navigation. Configuration
is covered briefly in Configuration on page 45 and in detail in the Mobile Robot Software
Suite User's Guide.
3.1 Transport and Storage
Platform
Ship and store the platform in a temperature-controlled environment, from 5 to 60°C (41 to
140°F). The recommended humidity range is 5 to 95%, non-condensing. It should be shipped
and stored in the supplied shipping crate, which is designed to prevent damage from normal
shock and vibration. You should protect the crate from excessive shock and vibration.
Use a forklift, pallet jack, or similar device to move the shipping crate.
Always ship and store the platform in an upright position in a clean, dry area that is free from
condensation. Do not lay the crate on its side or any other non-upright position. This could
damage the platform.
The crate with pallet for the platform measures 1441 x 787 x 762 mm (56.75 x 31 x 30 inches),
and weighs 70 kg (152 lb).
Battery
NOTE: If you purchased a spare battery, this section applies to it also.
If the battery needs to be stored, the manufacturer recommends (one month) +5 to 45°C (41 to
113°F); (one year) 20 to 25°C (68 to 77°F). The battery should start storage fully-charged. If stor-
ing the battery for an extended period, recharge the battery periodically to avoid total dis-
charge, which would damage the battery. Fully recharging a battery every six months is
sufficient to keep it charged enough to avoid damage.
Always store batteries upright.
