Precautions for Correct Use
An environmental hazard barrier must be easily detectable by the AMR and also strong enough
to stop a fully-loaded AMR traveling at its maximum speed.

Restricted Zones

Restricted zones are areas of inadequate clearance which cannot be protected by the AMR detection
devices. Only authorized persons are permitted to enter restricted zones. Use map features such as
forbidden areas to keep AMRs within their designated area of operation. Refer to the Fleet Operations
Workspace Core User's Manual (Cat. No. I635) for information about adding restricted zones to your
workspace map.

Operating Hazard Zones

Operating hazard zones are areas between the AMR and an obstacle that would not leave sufficient
room for a person to escape and avoid getting crushed. These are areas of inadequate clearance less
than 500 mm between the sides or front / rear of the AMR and an obstacle. It can also be an area
which cannot be protected by the AMR detection devices.
4-5-7

Confined Zones

Confined zones are areas of inadequate clearance where the AMR detection devices may be omitted,
at any speed.
4-5-8

Payload Transfer Stations

Payload transfer stations are designated areas where the payload is transferred to or from the AMR.
When the payload transfer stations are outside the restricted or confined zones, these stations shall
be designed to prevent personal injury by the rigid parts of the AMR or its payload. These payload
transfer stations shall be designated as operating hazard zones as defined in this section of the man-
ual.
