Precautions For Correct Use - Omron HD-1500 Platform User Manual

Precautions for Correct Use

Precautions for Correct Use
• Never expose the battery to water.
• Do not connect user-supplied equipment to the Ethernet switches located in the electronics bay.
• Rough or uneven floors can degrade the drive wheels, and shorten their life span.
• Replacement of the differential drive train, casters, and wheels require an OMRON service engineer.
Contact your local OMRON representative for more information.
• When speakers are used as a means of notifying personnel of an approaching AMR, you must rou-
tinely verify that they are still functioning normally. Verify that the speakers are audible, and the
sound level is at the same level as needed during the operation.
• Using the EM2100 or map features is not a substitute for physical methods of preventing collisions,
such as interlocked gateways or barriers. It is the user's responsibility to provide a physical method
of preventing collisions where necessary.
• Do not leave an AMR that is not localized, not connected to the EM2100, or not powered ON in a
location that can be accessed by other AMRs.
• If it is not possible to prevent some interference between the payload and the Side Lasers' sensing
plane, the LaserIgnore parameter can be used to constrain sensing to zones that do not include the
payload. However, this method might compromise the detection ability of the sensors and should be
avoided if possible.
• Laser lenses can easily get scratched and damaged. Care must be taken to prevent scratching the
laser lens during any maintenance or installation procedures.
• Factory installed Side Lasers are protected by guards. If you relocate the Side Lasers, consider us-
ing protective guards to prevent damage. Make sure that user-installed guards do not block the
scanning area or extend outward excessively.
• Map creation is required before normal operation of the AMR.
• The Integration Toolkit only runs on an EM2100 appliance configured as a Fleet Manager.
• Minimize payload power consumption whenever possible to prevent excessive battery drain.
• Vertical orientation of the Power Supply Box allows for heat dissipation, which prevents overheating
and possible fire danger. Horizontal installation of the Power Supply Box is not allowed.
• If you do not use appropriate fasteners, the Docking Target will move during the docking attempts
and cause docking and charging failures.
• Do not over-torque the charging paddle adjustment screws if they reach their limits.
• After making adjustments to the charging paddle, carefully observe the AMR as it approaches the
Docking Target and be prepared to press an E-STOP button if alignment is not correct.
• The Power Supply Box has cooling vents at the top and bottom of the unit. Do not block these
areas.
• The main disconnect switch located on the electrical access panel controls current flow into the
Power Supply Box. When the switch is in the horizontal position, it is OFF and when it is in the verti-
cal position, it is ON.
• During the initial AMR installation and configuration, install a fully-charged battery.
• Consult your network systems administrator before using SetNetGo to change any default settings.
Refer to the Fleet Operations Workspace Core User's Manual (Cat. No. I635) for information about
modifying network settings.
• Before you configure wireless Ethernet on your AMR, contact your network administrator to confirm
the IP, radio, and security settings.
